Axie Infinity is one of the world’s most popular blockchain video games.
After an assault on a network that powers the popular blockchain video game Axie Infinity, hackers stole over $600 million in cryptocurrencies. The Ronin network serves as a link between the video game and blockchains, allowing bitcoin to be transferred in and out of the game.
The Ronin network, a blockchain created by Sky Mavis, the same company that owns Axie Infinity, acknowledged the attack in a blog post on Tuesday and noted that the hack occurred six days prior on March 23, as previously reported by Reuters.
