Developer guides
Welcome to Ronin developer documentation. Here you'll find tutorials, how-to guides, and API reference for building on Ronin, from deploying smart contracts to integrating with Mavis Market, Mavis Store, Ronin Wallet, and more.
What is Ronin?
Developed by Sky Mavis, the creator of Axie Infinity, Ronin is a blockchain built specifically for games. By supporting EVM-compatible smart contracts and protocols, Ronin enables developers to create feature-rich, high-performance blockchain projects.
How to deploy on Ronin?
Before diving deeper into Ronin's building parts, there are a few things you need to know about deployment on Ronin.
Anyone can start building and testing on Saigon, a public Ronin testnet. Everything from Ronin Wallet integration to smart contract deployment is open on Saigon. Most Sky Mavis dApps support the Saigon testnet.
The Ronin mainnet, however, is a permissioned blockchain, which means only certain parties can deploy on the mainnet. To deploy your project on the Ronin mainnet, you need to apply for our allowlist.
How to build on Ronin?
If you’ve worked with other EVM blockchains, like Ethereum, you’re ready to build on Ronin. All your Ethereum tools will work on Ronin.
When testing your project, you can acquire testnet RON through the Saigon testnet's faucet.
