What is Cronos?Cronos is the leading Ethereum-compatible layer 1 blockchain network built on the Cosmos SDK, supported by Crypto.com, Crypto.org and more than 400 app developers and partners.
Why build on Cronos?1. EVM compatible – Solidity and all the EVM tools just work out of the box.2. Strategic partnership with Crypto.com – easy on-ramp to your dApp for an ecosystem of >80 million users.
Why Cronos?1. EVM Compatible2. Scalable3. Interoperable4. Proof of Authority5. Open Source
EVM CompatibleBuilt on Ethermint, which supports rapid porting of apps & smart contracts from Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains.
ScalableCronos can process more transactions per minute than Ethereum, making it faster, cheaper, and carbon-neutral to execute smart contracts.
InteroperableThe Inter Blockchain Communications (IBC) protocol enables interoperability and bridging to the Crypto.org Chain, and other IBC-enabled chains, such as Cosmos Hub.
Proof of Authority (POA)A more streamlined and scalable consensus mechanism consensus protocol while still maintaining security with a range of validators that many different parties run.
Open SourceWe welcome our community to review and provide suggestions to strengthen Cronos.
