In addition, the team also announced the Ronin blockchain’s shift into a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. Trung Nguyen, the CEO and co-founder of Sky Mavis, explained that:
Kathleen Osgood, the head of business development at Sky Mavis, told Cointelegraph that their team reviewed 250 game studios before deciding on the ones that were announced.
