Ronin Governance: RGP-1 Would Put Treasury Funds in Katana Pools

Ronin Governance Proposal RGP-1 would put treasury money into RON trading pools. Ronin's own test left the deposits $1.8K behind holding the tokens.

An Axie Infinity: Origins arena battle, three Axies a side, under the words RONIN'S FIRST TREASURY VOTE.

Ronin wants RON holders to vote on how it uses part of its treasury, the crypto it keeps in reserve. On the 23rd of October 2026, it published its first proposal for them. It is called RGP-1, short for Ronin Governance Proposal 1. [1]

The plan would put about $185K into two pools on Katana, Ronin’s exchange. A pool holds two tokens so people can swap one for the other. Ronin would pair RON it already holds with ether and a coin that tracks the US dollar. [1]

Ronin said more money in the pools would make RON easier to trade, so big trades would move the price less. The treasury would also earn more of the trading fees. [1] [2]

The plan has a cost. Ronin’s own test found that over the last six months, as RON fell, the deposits would have done worse than simply holding the tokens. [1]

There is no date for the vote yet. To pass, it needs at least 66% of the For and Against votes, and at least 20M RON must take part. [1]

Since Ronin published RGP-1 on the 23rd of October 2026, RON has fallen 2.7%. It went from $0.05514 on the 22nd to $0.05364 on the 25th of October 2026.

RON is the ecosystem token for the Ronin chain.

RON pays for transactions on the Ronin network. [5] It is also what holders vote with. In RGP-1, each RON counts as one vote. [1] Games linked to RON include The Beacon, Cambria and Axie Infinity: Origins. [3]

What people are saying

Community

On the day Ronin posted RGP-1, an X user called Aurora asked how the money would be tracked once it sat in the pools. By LPs, Aurora meant the treasury’s deposits in the pools. [6]

  • @AxieAur X how will the funds being used in LPs be tracked and monitored? holders need to have assurances the money that belongs to the treasury continues to belong to the treasury. [6]

Performance

In the three months to the 25th of October 2026, RON rose 4.0%. The wider gaming market fell 16.1% over the same window.

  • It trades 99% below its all-time high, set in March 2024. The wider gaming market is down 95% from its own.

More on the story

Ronin said its treasury held about $1.1M at market prices. About $92K of that was in WETH, a form of ether, and USDC, a coin that tracks the US dollar. RGP-1 would use about 17% of the treasury, to fix a problem Ronin said users had raised. [1]

The plan would move 21.97 WETH and 39,469.2 USDC. Each would be paired with RON the treasury already holds, about 1.62M RON at prices on the 23rd of October 2026. The RON side can never go above 5M RON. If it would, both deposits shrink to fit. [1]

Ronin’s figures show how far a big trade moves the price. A $10,000 trade against USDC moved RON’s price 4.9%, and would move it 4.1% with RGP-1. [2] Against WETH, the move would fall from 0.95% to 0.90%. [1]

Ronin said the treasury would keep its share of the pools in its own wallet. It would not move it, stake it or borrow against it. A report would follow within 7 days of the deposits, and then one every quarter. Each quarterly report would show the fees earned and compare the deposits with simply holding the tokens. [1]

RON holders could pull the money out with another vote. If a pool is ever compromised, the plan can be paused in an emergency, with a review within 72 hours. The treasury could also add more once a quarter from new WETH and USDC, without a new vote, as long as the RON stays under 5M. [1]

The cost comes from how a pool works. A pool keeps its two tokens in balance, Ronin said. If RON halves or doubles against WETH or USDC, a deposit is worth about 5.7% less than holding the tokens. This is called impermanent loss. The loss goes away if prices return to where they were. [1]

Ronin tested the plan on past trading. Over six months, as RON fell about 45%, the deposits would have earned $6.2K in fees but lost $8.0K to impermanent loss. That left them $1.8K behind simply holding the tokens. Over three months, they would have finished $2.2K ahead. Ronin said past results “don’t perfectly line up with the future”. [1]

Ronin expects the treasury to earn about $14.1K a year in fees, based on the last 30 days of trading. It gave a range of $6.1K to $16.0K a year. “These are estimates based on recent activity, not guarantees,” it said. [1]

Ronin posted a list of questions and answers on the 22nd of September 2026. One question said the deposits would cut the fees of people already supplying the pools. Ronin answered that holders who did not want the treasury earning fees this way could vote against. It said the fees would go back into the ecosystem rather than sit idle. [7]

Before the vote, RGP-1 has to gather support from RON holders, starting on Ronin’s Discord, for at least 7 days. The Ronin team then checks it, and holders get 3 days to review. The vote itself runs for 7 days, with one vote per RON. [1]

If RGP-1 passes, the deposits are made within 14 days. If it fails, the treasury keeps its WETH and USDC, and a new version can come back after 30 days. [1]

Separately, Ronin is closing its Ronin Waypoint wallet. Users had until the 16th of October 2026 to move their assets out. [4] A grace period ends at 15:00 UTC on the 31st of October 2026. Ronin told users who had problems moving to file a support ticket as soon as possible. [8]
