Cronos is a blockchain platform with its native token, CRO, designed to support decentralised finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and metaverse projects within the decentralised application (dApp) ecosystem. It aims to facilitate transactions globally between individuals and businesses, serving as a backbone for an open metaverse and the broader creator economy.
Cronos operates on a blockchain that combines the strengths of both Ethereum and Cosmos architectures. Built with the Cosmos SDK, it supports the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol and is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It utilises a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism, a variant of the Tendermint BFT consensus engine, which involves a permissioned validator set. The network provides interoperability, allowing for the seamless deployment and management of smart contracts, and employs a dynamic fee structure based on network usage.
Cronos has diverse use cases, particularly in DeFi, GameFi, and the creator economy. It serves as a payment system, enabling users to pay transaction fees on platforms like Crypto.com. CRO is utilised for transactions on Crypto.com's Visa card and exchange, enhancing financial services and crypto loans. Partnerships, such as those with Google Cloud and Ubisoft, bolster its applications in e-commerce and gaming. Additionally, it offers staking rewards, facilitates on-chain transfers, and acts as a store of value.
Cronos, initially stemming from Crypto.com founded in 2016, transitioned from the MCO token to the CRO token during a token swap in 2019. In 2020, Crypto.com launched the Cronos Chain, aimed at enabling fast, secure transactions and supporting DApps with a proof-of-stake consensus. The network's technological and market presence has evolved significantly, with the operation commencing in 2021. Strategic partnerships, such as with Google Cloud, further enhance its ecosystem, while ongoing developments include major updates like the Pallene upgrade.
