RONIN · rollup-L2 · QRI 9 · BAND 1 Unaware Hybrid FAIL · Stage 0 · Washing 1x

Ronin is the chain that lost $625M to Lazarus in 2022 and rebuilt. That is the only adversarial coordination precedent in the record. Quantum is not in the threat model, even for a 28-validator DPoS set inherited from Axie's peak. Pre-migration to OP Stack, zero PQC plans. Unaware.

Summary

Ronin is Band 1 (Unaware). Axie Infinity's gaming sidechain (28-validator DPoS, Sky Mavis-dominated) migrating to OP Stack L2 in 2026. Inherits Ethereum ECDSA unchanged. 2022 $625M Lazarus bridge hack is sole adversarial coordination precedent. No PQC plans.

A chain's supply chain cannot migrate faster than its slowest dependency. Zero PQC roadmaps in any of the four categories is a structural blocker, not a lagging indicator.

Analyst notes on the scoring

Treated as rollup-L2 per agent context (lean rollup given 2026 OP Stack migration). Pre-migration was sidechain — agent context noted to lean rollup.
