Cronos (CRO)

Cronos (CRO) is a cryptocurrency and the native fuel of the Cronos blockchain, a public network integrated with the Crypto.com app. Functioning as both a digital asset and the "gas" required to pay for actions on the network, CRO enables transactions on a fast, low-cost platform designed for trading, gaming, and finance applications. First launched in 2018, the project operates as a shared, public record of transactions maintained across thousands of computers. As an EVM-compatible blockchain, Cronos utilizes the Ethereum Virtual Machine standard, allowing developers to easily migrate smart contract applications from Ethereum to Cronos where fees are typically lower. The coin is essential for executing operations such as sending funds or utilizing apps on the network, similar to arcade tokens needed to play games. CRO maintains a close operational tie to Crypto.com, a major company providing a mobile application for buying and selling digital assets to millions of users globally.
