RON Token Contract Address: RON vs WRON Explained
RON does not have a token contract address, because it is the native coin of the Ronin network, in the same way that ETH is native to Ethereum. The address most people are looking for is Wrapped RON (WRON) on Ronin: 0xe514d9DEB7966c8BE0ca922de8a064264eA6bcd4. WRON is always worth exactly 1 RON and uses 18 decimals. Ronin’s chain ID is 2020. This guide explains the difference, how to verify the address yourself, and how to avoid fake RON tokens.
Key takeaways
- RON is Ronin’s native coin. It pays gas and has no contract address.
- WRON is the wrapped version used by apps and exchange pools. Its contract on Ronin is 0xe514d9DEB7966c8BE0ca922de8a064264eA6bcd4.
- 1 WRON always equals 1 RON, and you can wrap or unwrap at any time.
- Ronin became an Ethereum Layer-2 on 12 May 2026. The chain ID stayed at 2020.
- Any other “RON contract address” sent to you by a stranger should be treated as a scam until you have checked it on Ronin’s official explorer.
What is the RON token contract address?
There are two answers, depending on which asset you mean.
| Asset | What it is | Contract address on Ronin |
|---|---|---|
| RON | Native coin, pays gas fees | None. It is built into the chain. |
| WRON | Wrapped RON, 18 decimals | 0xe514d9DEB7966c8BE0ca922de8a064264eA6bcd4 |
An earlier version of this page described the WRON address as “the RON contract”. That was imprecise, and we have corrected it. The address is real and is listed on Ronin’s own explorer, but it belongs to Wrapped RON.
What is the difference between RON and WRON?
Native coins such as RON and ETH do not follow the standard token interface that decentralized apps expect. Wrapping solves that. You deposit RON into the WRON contract and receive the same number of WRON, which behaves like a normal token. Depositing WRON back returns your RON.
In practice you will meet WRON in two places: liquidity pools on Katana DEX, where pairs are quoted against WRON, and marketplaces that settle in a token instead of the native coin. Most apps wrap and unwrap for you in the background, so you rarely need to do it by hand. For how those pools work, see our Katana DEX guide and the page on farming RON.
How do I verify the WRON contract address?
- Open Ronin’s official explorer at app.roninchain.com. Type the address yourself.
- Paste 0xe514d9DEB7966c8BE0ca922de8a064264eA6bcd4 into the search box.
- Confirm the token page shows the name Wrapped Ronin and the symbol WRON.
- Check that the decimals value is 18 and that the token has thousands of holders.
- Compare the address character by character with a second source, such as the WRON page on CoinGecko.
Scammers often create tokens with the same name and symbol as a real one. The name can be copied. The address cannot. Checking the first and last few characters is not enough, because fake addresses are sometimes generated to match those. Compare the whole string.
Did the contract address change when Ronin became a Layer-2?
Ronin moved from an independent sidechain to an Ethereum Layer-2 built on the OP Stack on 12 May 2026, with about 10 hours of downtime, as CoinDesk reported. The mainnet chain ID stayed at 2020, according to Chainstack’s Ronin documentation, so wallets that were already set up for Ronin did not need a new network entry.
RON is still the native gas coin, and the WRON address in this guide is the one shown on Ronin’s explorer in October 2026. Even so, a migration is exactly when fake “new contract” announcements appear. If anyone tells you to swap your RON for a “new RON” at a different address, ignore it and check Ronin’s official channels. The background on the chain is in our Ronin network overview.
How do I add RON to my wallet?
Ronin Wallet. RON appears automatically. You do not need to add anything.
MetaMask or another EVM wallet. Add the Ronin network using chain ID 2020 and the RPC details from Ronin’s official documentation. Once the network is added, your RON balance shows as the main balance, the same way ETH does on Ethereum. Do not import RON as a custom token.
WRON. If you hold Wrapped RON and it does not show up, import it as a custom token with the address above, the symbol WRON and 18 decimals.
If you still need to buy the coin, our how to buy RON guide walks through the exchanges. Current market figures are on the RON price page.
Is there a RON contract address on Ethereum or other chains?
RON is native to Ronin. Versions of it on other networks are bridged or wrapped representations, and their addresses depend on the bridge that issued them. We do not list those here because we could not verify each one against a primary source. If you need RON on another network, start from Ronin’s official bridge page and copy the address from there, not from a search result or a social post.
How do I spot a fake RON token?
- The address does not match the one on Ronin’s explorer.
- The token appeared in your wallet without you buying it. Unsolicited tokens are a common lure.
- Someone in a direct message is offering to “migrate” or “upgrade” your RON.
- The site asks for your seed phrase. No legitimate app needs it.
- The token has very few holders or no trading history.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Importing WRON into a wallet and labelling it RON, then being confused by two balances.
- Sending RON to the WRON contract address from an exchange. Withdraw to your own wallet address.
- Using chain ID 2021, which belonged to the old test network, instead of 2020.
- Copying an address from an advert at the top of a search page.
