Initially, the focus was primarily on advancing the development of Axie Infinity during the first two rounds. However, with the Series B funding, a strategic shift occurred, directing resources towards the growth and enhancement of both Axie Infinity and the newly launched Ronin Network. Notable investors in these rounds included a16z Crypto, Animoca Brands, Paradigm, and Accel.</span>

This round was swiftly secured from a group of investors within a week of the incident. However, Sky Mavis was able to refill the Ronin Bridge and fully reimburse all affected users with its own balance sheet. Consequently, the company scaled back the initially planned $150 million round and ultimately raised $11 million, led by a16z and Animoca Brands.</span>

This method offers several advantages, including lower energy consumption compared to Proof of Work (PoW) systems, as it does not require intensive computational tasks to validate transactions. PoA also supports faster transaction speeds and reduced costs, as it allows for quicker block validation. Despite these benefits, PoA has faced criticism for its lack of decentralization compared to other consensus mechanisms.</span>

<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d0d0d;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" data-raw-html="span">To enhance Ronin's decentralization, Sky Mavis introduced an update incorporating Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) into the validator selection process. This change allows any Ronin token (RON) holder who meets a certain threshold to become a validator, widening access and significantly boosting the network’s decentralization. While transitioning to DPoS, Ronin retains the key benefits of PoA, such as swift transaction speeds and lower fees. Under DPoS, token holders delegate their stakes to elect validators, and to ensure the integrity of this process, slashing rules are applied to penalize any validators found to be acting maliciously.</span>

Additionally, its compatibility with the EVM simplifies the game development process, allowing for smooth implementation. Ronin also provides developers with an integrated suite of tools through the Ronin and Mavis products. The upgrade to DPoS has enhanced economic security and improved decentralization, all while maintaining rapid transaction speeds and low fees. </span>

This led Sky Mavis to embark on a bold endeavor: the development and launch of the Ronin Network. In February 2021, Sky Mavis unveiled the Ronin Network. Unlike Ethereum and Loom, Ronin was built specifically for gaming. </span>
