TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025 to Break Record with 25K Attendees

<p>Ronin's Treasury arm is set to begin RON buybacks on September 29, 2025. The move aims to swap the Treasury's ETH and USDC holdings directly into $RON, on-chain. Ronin aims to absorb 1.3% of RON's circulating supply at current prices as it prepares for its transition into a full-fledged Ethereum Layer 2.</p><p>$RON token buybacks will be conducted through third-party market makers. All transactions will be executed transparently. Ronin devs also released a&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.roninchain.com/p/ron-buybacks-and-unleashing-the-ronin-treasury">detailed blog post on the Ron buybacks</a>, confirming that this is a one-way operation, meaning the RON accumulated won't be sold.</p><h2>What Is the Ronin Treasury?</h2><p>The Ronin Treasury is the network's war chest. It has accumulated more than $5 million in tokens, including:</p><ul><li>895 ETH</li><li>650,000 USDC</li><li>Smaller allocations of RON and wRON</li></ul><p>The Treasury's revenue streams are also tied to the Ronin ecosystem, with the most notable:</p><ul><li>0.05% fee from every Katana DEX trade</li><li>0.5% fee from Ronin Market trading volume (plus a share of OpenSea's Ronin activity)</li><li>30% of Ronin Name Service (RNS) registration and renewal fees</li><li>A portion of gas fees through EIP-1559</li></ul><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">2/ What is the Ronin Treasury?<br><br>The Ronin Treasury holds over $4.5M USD in tokens including 895 ETH and 650K USDC.<br><br>Over the past few years, the Treasury accumulated these funds by:<br><br>• Earning 0.05% fee from every trade on the Katana DEX<br>• Earning a 0.5% fee from total Ronin… <a href="https://t.co/PVN8RAGFIU">pic.twitter.com/PVN8RAGFIU</a></p>— Ronin (@Ronin_Network) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ronin_Network/status/1969726014600474993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 21, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><h2>Why Is Ronin Buying Back RON?</h2><p>Ronin looks to be buying back RON to demonstrate its conviction. The Ronin Treasury only held 12% of its assets in RON. Now the Treasury aims to swap 100% of its ETH and USDC into RON ahead of its Ethereum L2 migration.</p><p>The buyback program has been a frequent community request as well, and the timing aligns with industry shifts. Institutional interest in Ethereum grew significantly over the course of summer 2025, and Ronin looks to position itself in the right spot while moving forward.</p><h2>What Comes Next for Ronin and RON?</h2><p>Upcoming Ronin milestones include:</p><ul><li>Ethereum L2 migration</li><li><a href="https://funjible.games/news/axie-infinity-goes-mmo-first-look-inside-atia-s-legacy">Atia's Legacy playtest</a></li><li>Community events at Token2049</li></ul><p>At Funjible Games, we've also recently had the opportunity to speak with Jeff 'Jihoz' Zirlin, co-founder of&nbsp;<a href="https://funjible.games/games/Axie-infinity">Axie Infinity and</a> the Ronin Network, at Korea Blockchain Week. Besides the buybacks and the migrations, Jihoz shared his excitement for the upcoming&nbsp;<a href="https://funjible.games/news/axie-infinity-s-atia-s-legacy-mmo-open-for-pre-registration">Axie MMO, Atia's Legacy</a>, potentially the most interactive experience within the Axie space.</p><p>Considering everything new headed to the Ronin world, the buyback program could add some much-needed fuel to the fire. Developers supporting their ecosystems through buybacks often signal confidence within the Web3 space, and this conviction may open more doors for Ronin in the future.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kfTLQPhDUEo?si=6D77QtNmZTsa_K0c" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>

Axie Infinity Announces First Atia's Legacy Playtest

<p>NFTs represent ownership of in-game items, characters, and cosmetics. They are now essential to Web3 gaming. This helps developers enhance gameplay with rewards and innovative ideas.</p><p>NFTs gained mainstream attention in 2021, but the concept isn't new. Games like World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike had auction houses and tradable skins. These features set the stage for modern NFT use cases. NFTs enhance this by offering provable scarcity and decentralized trading. They also allow for interoperability in some cases.</p><p>Almost all Web3 GameFi projects try to implement NFTs into their gameplay loop. Only a few have nailed the execution so far. The following NFT games stand out for their gameplay experience and community engagement.</p><h2>1. MapleStory N: A Classic on the Blockchain</h2><div class="raw-html-embed">

</div><p><a href="https://funjible.games/games/maple-story-n">MapleStory N</a> is the crown jewel of the MapleStory Universe ecosystem. With Nexon's blockchain division, NEXPACE, at the helm, MapleStory N brought one of the most beloved MMORPGs in the world to the blockchain world.</p><p>MapleStory N has a two-currency system with NESO and NXPC. NESO is the in-game currency used for enhancements, purchases, and marketplace trading. NXPC is the core ecosystem token of MapleStory Universe that can be traded, transferred, and cashed out through exchanges.</p><p>NESO can be swapped to NXPC at a fixed ratio of 100,000 NESO to one NXPC, and there are plenty of ways to earn NESO inside the game.</p><h2>2. Off the Grid: Cyberpunk FPS on Avalanche</h2><div class="raw-html-embed">

</div><p>Off the Grid is an NFT game on the Avalanche blockchain. Despite the advanced graphics, Off the Grid's file size is around 30 GB.</p><p><a href="https://funjible.games/games/off-the-grid">Off the Grid</a> features fast-paced third-person combat with perk-like limbs. Throughout the battlefield, you can find cyberlimbs with various abilities attached to them, and use these to power up your character throughout a match. There's a marketplace where players can buy and sell NFT-based gear. Toward the summer of 2025,<a href="https://funjible.games/news/Off-the-Grid-In-Game-Item-Sales-Near-dollar-1000">&nbsp;Off the Grid in-game item sales reached to the $1000 threshold</a>, which showcases the potential of OTG's in-game economy.</p><p>While OTG is completely free-to-play, and you can enjoy the game without the NFTs, there's a premium battle pass that allows players to unlock more rewards for playtime.</p><h2>3. Gods Unchained: Web3 Trading Card Game</h2><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ESyDQign12E?si=HnyaL_ziovDPDA82" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
</div><p><a href="https://funjible.games/games/Gods-Unchained">Gods Unchained</a> is a free-to-play,<a href="https://funjible.games/news/top-10-play-to-earn-games-in-2025">&nbsp;play-to-earn</a> card. The game combines traditional TCG gameplay with NFT ownership. You can earn $GODS tokens for winning daily ranged matches. While some players roll out with fast and aggressive decks to maximize their reward potential, you can also take it slow and enjoy Gods Unchained's tactical depth.</p><p>Each Gods Unchained match plays out like a classic turn-based duel. You get to summon creatures and cast spells based on the cards in your deck. The core mechanics are easy to learn if you're familiar with games like Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering. Every new player starts with a free collection of cards, and you can expand your library through rewards and trading.</p><h2>4. NFL and FIFA Rivals: Sports Games with NFT Integration&nbsp;</h2><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:74.48%;"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/nfl_rivals_26617206d3.jpg" alt="NFL Rivals gameplay screenshot" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/nfl_rivals_26617206d3.jpg 226w, https://assets.funjible.games/nfl_rivals_26617206d3.jpg 500w" sizes="100vw"></figure><p><a href="https://funjible.games/games/NFL-Rivals">NFL Rivals</a> and FIFA Rivals are two mobile sports games developed by Mythical Games. Both titles feature arcade-style action and NFT mechanics. The gameplay experience of NFL and FIFA Rivals is fast-paced, perfect for pick-up and play.</p><p>In NFL Rivals, you'll get to build your team by opening digital card packs and competing in PvP and PvE modes. Some player cards are minted as NFTs and can be bought or sold. NFTs are entirely optional in NFL Rivals, and you can progress through the game without spending real money.<br><br>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/smdPpY1O7q8?si=MVVQ3QnYriNPsdnO" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>FIFA Rivals follows a similar loop but features soccer at the center of attention. You collect players through packs, level them up, or acquire them as NFTs from other players. Overall, FIFA Rivals nails the appeal of squad-building.</p><p>Considering the Rivals franchise onboarded major entities like NFL and FIFA, there's a chance they can open the door for even bigger names in the future, so these two definitely deserve the love they're getting.</p><h2>5. Axie Infinity: The OG of Play-to-Earn</h2><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kE_lw--noko?si=BE4fkYLdFDKqCSJW" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>In<a href="https://funjible.games/games/Axie-infinity">&nbsp;Axie Infinity</a>, players get to collect, battle and breed digital creatures called Axies. Sky Mavis' legendary creation has also pioneered the play-to-earn model as we know it, and all Axie titles currently run on the Ronin Network, also developed by Sky Mavis.</p><p>When it comes to the gameplay experience in the classic version, it mainly revolves around PvP battles and genetic breeding. Each Axie can pass traits to the next generations, so you can come up with powerful combinations.</p><p>More recently, the Axie Infinity world and Sky Mavis have been focused on lowering the barriers of entry for their games. Sky Mavis even introduced a<a href="https://www.funjible.games/news/axie-infinity-introduces-keyless-wallets-with-ronin-waypoint">&nbsp;keyless wallet, Ronin Waypoint</a>, which allows new players to jump into games without having to create a crypto wallet.</p><h2>6. Pudgy Penguins Ecosystem: Iconic NFTs in Gaming</h2><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ydYh93jvB1M?si=_gU3GK_lSc9d0pNb" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Pudgy Penguins is one of the most recognizable <a href="https://www.funjible.games/news/nft-project-pudgy-penguins-introduces-pengu-token-on-solana">NFT collections</a>. It has expanded beyond just being pictures and the brand even made its way to the GameFi space with two experiences in the works. Pudgy World and Pudgy Party are two games that aim to take advantage of the NFT collection's brand visibility, and they both look promising.</p><p>Pudgy World is a browser-based game. The title invites players to step into a social environment, which made us recall Club Penguin. Pudgy Penguins NFT holders and plush toy owners will be able to unlock special avatars in the game. Pudgy World will be free-to-play, though, so you can also jump in without making any investments.</p><p>Pudgy Party, on the other hand, is a mobile party game. It's more like Fall Guys, but with penguins instead. Players race, jump, and bump through obstacle courses. The game is quick to pick up and play, and it's also completely free.&nbsp;</p><h2>Are NFT Games Worth Playing in 2025?</h2><p>Yes, NFT games are worth playing if you're interested in&nbsp;earning real crypto,&nbsp;owning in-game items, and exploring&nbsp;blockchain gameplay.
