Ronin, the gaming-focused blockchain by Sky Mavis, is expanding into decentralized finance (DeFi) with Compound, a leading lending protocol. As part of this initiative, they are offering $1 million in COMP and RON token rewards to boost DeFi adoption and enhance financial opportunities for users.
With Ronin’s transition to a permissionless network in February 2025, this partnership aims to provide gamers and investors with new ways to earn yield, lend and borrow assets, and participate in liquid staking. Sky Mavis CEO Trung Nguyen emphasized that integrating DeFi will strengthen Ronin’s ecosystem, improve liquidity, and sustain long-term engagement.
Beyond financial benefits, Compound’s growth lead, Bryan Colligan, highlighted how DeFi can enhance gaming experiences by introducing in-game financial tools. The first DeFi protocols on Ronin, including Compound, are set to launch in early 2025, marking a major step in blending gaming with decentralized finance.
