The May 12 cutover ends Ronin's standalone-sidechain era and hands network security over to Ethereum mainnet — the structural fix for the bridge vulnerability Lazarus exploited in 2022.
The shift ends five years of standalone sidechain operation and slashes RON inflation from over 20% to below 1%, but the roughly 10-hour outage window is the first real test.
It's the first deployment under Optimism's new OP Enterprise Self-Managed model — Dunamu keeps the sequencer keys while the Optimism Foundation stays on as engineering and backup infrastructure.

The Optmism Foundation hands the primary sequencer key to Dunamu under a new self-managed tier that lets chains keep the OP Stack engineering support without ceding control of core decisions.
