I think they have no problem relying on Vitalik
the thing is that a massive game like axie would have no chance staying on the main chain
we also saw the huge spike this year when the ronin migration happened.
Still pretty early, even if it doesn't look like.
Vitalik is a cool guy and I can say he is the greatest mind in the 1990s generation. Mark (CEO of Facebook) is the greatest mind in the generation of 1980s. They both changed the world. I have belief in Vitalik too but if talking about transaction fee, Vitalik and Ethereum have many things to resolve. They don't succeed so far to reduce transaction fee on ERC20 chain.
Ronin is a smart development from Axie Infinity team to help the growth of their game more sustainable. Gamers can not pay too expensive fee daily especially they have to play and make many transactions every day. Transaction fee on ERC-20 is painful for gamers.
Bybit is growing and with SLP, they will get more trading volume on their exchange. It is a win-win situation for all sides: Axie Infinity, Bybt and community. More exchanges to trade, higher volume in total, and more income from users' fee. More traffic for Bybit exchange from this listing too.
