Quick Take
- Ronin Market adds cross-chain payments, letting NFTs be bought with tokens from Base, Arbitrum, BNB, and more
- Purchases can be sent to a different recipient, lowering onboarding friction for new wallets
- Fortune Spin expands with support for more Ronin tokens and gifting options
Ronin Market has activated cross-chain payments, allowing NFT buyers to use assets from networks such as Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, and BNB Smart Chain without bridging. The new system lets users pay in the token of their choice, with gas fees covered in the originating currency, while the purchased NFT is delivered on Ronin.
The feature is powered by Relay and designed to simplify how liquidity moves across Ethereum’s multi-chain ecosystem. Someone holding ETH on Polygon or USDC on Arbitrum can now complete an NFT purchase on Ronin Market in one step. The upgrade also includes the option to gift purchases, with the NFT sent directly to another wallet, removing the need for new users to fund or set up a Ronin account before receiving assets.
Alongside cross-chain support, Ronin Market rolled out additional features. Buyers can now check out with a separate wallet or even a credit card, further lowering entry barriers. The Fortune Spin blind box has also been expanded, with prizes purchasable using a wider set of Ronin-native tokens including WETH, AXS, SLP, PIXEL, and LRON. Prizes can now be forwarded to another address after spinning.
Cross-chain payments currently only apply to marketplace transactions, while Fortune Spin remains limited to tokens on Ronin. Machines priced in RON accept any token native to the network, while those priced in USDC require Ronin-issued USDC.
The addition of multi-chain payments arrives as Ronin advances its broader migration to Ethereum Layer-2, targeted for mid-2026. With major scaling providers competing for the chain’s next phase, the marketplace upgrade underlines Ronin’s push to tighten its ecosystem while lowering friction for both longtime players and new entrants.
