Overview

Cronos is a blockchain that operates at the intersection of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the Cosmos ecosystem, combining the Cosmos SDK with EVM compatibility to leverage the benefits of both ecosystems. It focuses on enhancing scalability, efficiency, and interoperability through advancements like optimized data storage, layer-2 deployment, and upcoming modules such as interchain accounts, relayer incentives, and NFT standards. Cronos supports DApp developers with robust tools like commercial RPC endpoints, self-custodial wallets, analytics platforms, and oracle protocols, while fostering innovation through initiatives like Cronos Labs and Cronos Play, which streamline the development of GameFi and blockchain gaming applications. Its zkEVM layer 2 is secured by Ethereum, offering scalability and security, and its proof-of-authority EVM powers a thriving ecosystem of over 500 DeFi, NFT, and Web3 gaming applications. Additionally, its proof-of-stake POS network ensures low-cost transactions and supports the ecosystem as its foundational layer.
