What Is Cronos Coin

To truly understand it, you have to understand what the Cronos POS chain is. The Cronos Coin, known as CRO, is the native cryptocurrency token that runs the Cronos POS Chain. Cronos POS Chain is the layer-zero network that guarantees the security of the Cronos ecosystem. It is the native issuer of the $CRO utility token, secured by a vast network of more than 100 nodes representing ~350 M US$ in staked value, in the top 3 of all Cosmos chains.

The Cronos POS chain has securely validated around 33 M transactions, with an average transaction fee of 0.00001 US$. Cronos POS is a public, open-source and permissionless blockchain - a fully decentralized network with high speed and low fees, designed to be a public good that helps drive mass adoption of blockchain technology through use cases like Payments and NFTs.

As a blockchain protocol built on the Cosmos SDK, Cronos POS chain is ideally placed to work with the broader Cosmos ecosystem and explore new potential use cases for its highly performant proof-of-stake consensus, utilizing Cosmos SDK modules like IBC, inter-chain accounts and inter-chain security.

What is Cronos Labs

Cronos Labs is a Web3 startup accelerator that focuses on Decentralized Finance and blockchain games, and on the development of the Cronos blockchain ecosystem.

How Does CRO Work

Cronos POS Chain is a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain network and users can stake via delegated-proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus protocol, by delegating their CRO to a trusted validator. Native CRO is required for Cronos POS Chain Staking. Validators run nodes to validate transactions on the Cronos POS Chain network and in return earn block rewards in CRO, which are then distributed to the delegators after taking a validator commission. Cronos POS Chain Staking requires staking native CRO on Cronos POS Chain Mainnet instead of ERC-20 CRO on Ethereum network.
