Sending strength to all community managers and leaders during these tough times.

With the prices moving the way they are, emotions run higher and the noise gets louder.

Be extra unbreakable today for your community today.

There’s a massive anti-government protest happening across the Philippines right now.

The people are demanding transparency, and blockchain bills have been filed to put the national budget on-chain.

I’m flying back to the 🇵🇭Philippines next week to meet with stakeholders and government officials; to listen, learn, and help chart a path forward.

Our mission:
- @AxieInfinity will lead in educating the Philippines about blockchain. We were the pioneers of the scholarship system after all.
- @Ronin_Network will be the backbone powering this movement.

[stark.ron @Stark_axie]

how many websites and tools will we see this on by this time next year?

There are so much insights in @Jihoz_Axie's Space yesterday that I feel I'd be doing it injustice to cram 2-hour+ into less than 1k words.

So I decided to do a recap topic by topic.

BTW, Jihoz is running 100-RON competition for best 5 clips from the space.

1st recap 👇🏼

Jihoz kicked off his X Space with a raw, emotional call for unity in the Ronin community amid tough times for Web3 gaming.

---▽---

Praised community resilience and acknowledge some emotional flare ups:

⤷ "I'm very proud of how you guys have dealt with the adversity. Web3 Gaming hasn't lived up to expectations. You know, it's been difficult for Ronin, and it's been hard times in many ways. But I'm actually really, really proud of how the community has been grinding through the adversity."

⤷ "As we're going through this adversity, the community is also... getting emotional in some ways, which I think is perfectly understandable."

---▽---

The core message: Unity as @Ronin_Network - not just under one project.

⤷ "The Ronin Network, the Ronin community, we have a chance to do something really special together. But we're only going to be able to do that if we can band together, if we can unite. And it's not about uniting under one project, one banner within the network. It's about uniting as the Ronin network. It's not about one project taking the helm or the spotlight."

⤷ "We have tons of promising projects on the network... It's not about fighting each other. And that's what I want us to see, right? Unite together. Of course, you can rep your favorite project. But if we fight against each other, that is going to eat us from within. Nobody is going to want to be part of a community that is fighting each other."

Call to be welcoming reps: "You guys are all representatives of the Ronin Network. If the outside world comes in and they don't see this as a welcoming place, they're not going to want to join."

---▽---

Remember Ronin's past wins: "Together, we have made history."

• Got into the Guinness Book of World Records.
• Hit number one all-time NFT volume via Axie

"So this group, we have that potential. And people from the outside see that potential. And they're watching. They want to see that unity."

---▽---

Ronin's edge: "Ronin is special."

• Ronin was the fourth most used chain in all of crypto [in 2024].
• Ronin is synonymous with crypto gaming.
• Axie is one of the only few names in crypto gaming with actual near universal recognition.

"That's a testament to what you guys can accomplish when you work together. It's about whether we can band together to make it happen again. And that's actually a much easier thing to do something again than to do it for the first time."

---▽---

Jihoz also called out founders' responsibility: "I also want to say that the founders, me, Alex, Trung, we have a duty, we have a solemn responsibility to our vision, to the community, to everything related to the Ronin network to do better."

---▽---

Alpha: Unity is Ronin's edge for upcoming upgrades like Ethereum L2 alignment. Let's band together, rep Ronin, and build that welcoming vibe.

Stay tuned for the next topic.

@0xxNathan @pos2only @Ronin_Network Also I want to be clear. I was referring to all projects on Ronin.

AH minting for $200k in a PFP style project I think should be considered a success.

There are other teams who can raise more because they have bigger teams, more sound plans etc.

@fableborne is an example.

Awakening Hunters is much cheaper than any other notable anime mint collection that existed before (minus the quality comparison). We could have gone on Abstract or ETH and raised it to a $200 mint if we wanted to chase hype or more sales, but we decided to stick with Ronin because it has better infrastructure for gaming IP.

When I say it's better, it's because i understand their ecosystem. I know their strengths and weaknesses. It's not a perfect chain, but the opportunities inside it are infinite. It's just that its full potential hasn't been unlocked yet. Maybe you won't see it right now, but having spent more than a decade working in the gaming industry in Web2 (publisher/media), i know both the pain and the experience behind it.

Whether we sell out or not, there will be no changes to our direction. We can technically adjust the priorities and focus on what we can control.

If there are only 2k members who bought the NFT, we will work around them. If there are only 1k members who bought, still the same, we will focus on these core community members.

No need to worry about sales. We've been building this for 2 years without any backers or investors. Don't buy these NFTs if you're speculating for rewards because this collection is not meant for investment. It's a product collection that will focus on IP digital entertainment and a value services model for both Web2 and Web3.

Minting will happen in the next 10 hours. Be sure to check if you're eligible. If not, you can monitor and wait for the public sale.

⚔️ @daryl24_eth and @0xxNathan have been working to make Awakening Hunters an innovative mint on Ronin.

focused on doing things the right way and expanding the pie.

We need onchain identity for both users and builders that gamifies the experience of creating a social graph.

This will make it easy for developers to attract missionaries while excluding sybills and bad actors.

The Ronin profile is the beginning of this.

I set mine up, the tricky part was creating an account to consolidate my identity under, but now I can consolidate my wallets under one identity. This is a key part of any reputation system, as we saw with axie score that individuals often have their assets and activity spread out over a few accounts!

Will record a video walkthrough today.

[Daryl.ron ⛩️ @daryl24_eth]

We're not here to give you a reward. We're here to build a special, high-quality product that you’ll be proud to own, use, and be part of as a digital community IP network.

If you need to earn, go farm airdrops and yap on Kaito. But if you’re looking for a product that will grow alongside you, find a potential IP that's ready to expand across multiple platforms (Web2 and Web3).
