  • What Is Ronin? The Ethereum Gaming Chain Behind 'Axie Infinity' and 'Pixels'

    In the wide world of crypto, there are now many blockchains specifically designed for gaming—but Ronin was among the first to launch. Gaming blockchains are typically built to offer low transaction fees and a higher number of potential transactions, so they’re supposed to be more affordable and more scalable than blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

    Animoca Brands' Gamee Token Plunges 60% After Exploit

    Social gaming platform Gamee’s token suffered an exploit late Monday evening, with the alleged perpetrator taking 600 million GMEE tokens that were subsequently liquidated for Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, the token’s reps shared. The GMEE token’s contracts—not user wallets or accounts—were exploited but have since been “secured,” according to the team, which stated that a compromised deployer address is no longer a risk because the team moved ownership to a new address.
