Validators process transactions and receive fees from users (supply-side fees).

Ronin is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Ronin was founded by Sky Mavis and launched in 2021.

RON holders own and govern the protocol. They currently don’t take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue). Sky Mavis' investors include a16z, Binance, Animoca Brands, etc.

# Ronin Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Ronin maximum token supply metric represents the theoretical upper limit of RON tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's design. This is a protocol-defined constant that establishes the hard cap for the total token supply, providing a reference point for understanding tokenomics and potential dilution scenarios. The metric answers the business question: "What is the maximum number of RON tokens that can ever be in circulation?"

## 2. Data sources

This metric is derived from protocol specifications rather than blockchain transaction data:
- **Protocol documentation**: The maximum supply limit as defined in Ronin's token economics design
- **Smart contract parameters**: The hard-coded maximum supply value from the token contract specifications
- **Launch date information**: The official launch date when this maximum supply became effective

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Define the protocol's maximum token supply limit and when it became effective
- **Logic**: The calculation uses hardcoded values representing the Ronin protocol's token economics design. The maximum supply is set to exactly 1,000,000,000 RON tokens, with an effective date of January 27, 2022, which corresponds to the token's launch date
- **Key fields**: The `token_supply_maximum` field contains the value 1,000,000,000, `timestamp` marks the effective date, and `timestamp_grain` specifies daily granularity

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: No combining is needed as this is a single hardcoded value
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable as this represents token quantity, not monetary value  
- **Time aggregation**: The metric uses daily granularity with a forward-fill strategy, meaning the same maximum supply value applies to all dates from the launch date forward
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens, representing the immutable maximum supply cap for RON tokens as defined in the protocol specifications
