What Ronin Waypoint Can Do
Today, Ronin Waypoint is LIVE in Axie Classic, and third-party game integrations are in progress. Here are some of Ronin Waypoint’s key features – and how they can benefit gamers:
Say Goodbye to Seed Phrases - Use an email address, OTP or social login options such as Facebook, Google, and Apple ID to access Ronin. No extensions, no seed phrases. Creating an account is now as easy as recovering a password.
Instant In-Game Transactions - Transfer funds and make on-chain purchases in seconds. Use Ronin Waypoint to buy, swap and mint assets across Ronin games and dApps–this includes collecting daily check-ins, sending tokens, NFTs and more.
Gas-Free UX - Enjoy gas-free experiences where games and dApps can opt in to sponsor network fees for users.
Strengthened Security - Stay protected from scams and phishing attacks with heightened security powered by MPC technology.
Power Your Play With In-Game Transactions
The example above shows a player buying axies and gems within Axie Classic. However, Ronin Waypoint can enable even more kinds of in-game, on-chain transactions – from Atia’s Blessing to P2P Runes and Charms trading. Consider the following example using Pixels’ Auction House:
Before Ronin Waypoint
The Pixels Auction House is where players place bids for items and list others for sale – all using off-chain coins. It’s a great way to pick up interesting tools or get rid of junk in your inventory. However, what if you wanted to buy and sell with RON, WETH, or USDC? That’s where Ronin Waypoint comes in.
After Ronin Waypoint
Imagine a world where Pixels has integrated Ronin Waypoint. Player 1 enters the Auction House and lists an egg for sale – in RON. A second player buys it and RON ends up in the first player’s wallet within seconds. This is how an on-chain economy should work — and is precisely what Ronin Waypoint enables.
How MPC Technology Bolsters Security
Ronin Waypoint creates a new on-chain address with the ability to transact in-game using MPC technology. Once players set-up their Ronin Waypoint account, they can use it to make on-chain transactions across multiple games. One account, infinite adventures.
Consider how this can bolster security. Your Waypoint account becomes a hot wallet that reduces the need to transact with your cold wallet. It works kind of like a debit or spending account attached to your main Ronin address. However, Ronin Waypoint does not grant Sky Mavis custody over any user funds.
“MPC” stands for Multi-Party Computation. This is a cryptographic technique that splits a private key into two or more shares. In doing so, the full private key remains hidden and multiple parties must then agree before computing a transaction. This is a simplified explanation, feel free check out our Support Docs for more info.
