Rumble Kong League Migrates to Ronin Sidechain
Game Developer’s Decision to Abandons Plans for Avalanche Launch
Rumble Kong League, a mobile basketball game with ties to NBA superstars Steph Curry and Paul George, has announced its plans to migrate to the Ethereum sidechain Ronin, leaving behind plans to launch on Avalanche.
Why the Shift to Ronin?
Ronin is a prominent gaming chain that hosts popular games such as Pixels and Axie Infinity. Rumble Kong League’s developers cited Ronin’s 17.2 million wallet downloads and 18.9 million RON token holders as reasons why the migration is "massive" for RKL.
A New Era for RKL
"This isn’t just a partnership, it’s a slam dunk for the future of RKL and our holders," the project posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). The game is set to become the first in the blockchain’s effort to "open Ronin" via Operation Leviosa, which seeks to welcome more applications, games, and decentralized finance apps on the sidechain. Ronin is currently a closed ecosystem controlled by creator Sky Mavis, but will become permissionless and open to all builders in February.
What’s Next for RKL?
RKL is extending its soft launch on iOS and Android to welcome Ronin users, while doubling the current in-game FAME rewards, which will eventually be redeemable for on-chain tokens when FAME launches later in Q1. The project still has "onchain Avalanche integration" listed among items that are "next up" in its publicly available roadmap items, but that integration will now happen on Ronin instead.
The Future of RKL
The Rumble Kong League game features 3v3 basketball competitions in which players face off against other users of the app. The project first launched in 2021 as a collection of 10,000 NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Stephen Curry’s Penny Jar Capital invested in Rumble Kong League and launched branded Curry Flow digital sneakers with Under Armour for the game. Meanwhile, Paul George has been a public ambassador for the game, and has collaborated on initiatives via his Paul George Foundation.
