We’re excited to announce that staking on Cronos is now live with Figment. CRO holders can now delegate to Figment and start earning rewards while supporting a network designed to make self-custody simple, scalable, and secure for the next billion users. Backed by our institutional-grade infrastructure, real-time monitoring, and protocol expertise, Figment is here to help you stake with confidence on Cronos.

What is Cronos?

Cronos is a Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem purpose-built to power DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 gaming applications. With an emphasis on accessibility and scalability, Cronos aims to bridge the Cosmos and Ethereum ecosystems through an expanding family of chains:

• Cronos POS: A fast, low-cost Cosmos-based chain focused on payments and staking, and the primary chain for staking $CRO.
• Cronos EVM: EVM-compatible sidechain built with the Cosmos SDK, enabling easy porting of smart contracts from Ethereum.
• Cronos zkEVM: A high-performance Layer-2 secured by Ethereum using ZK proofs for low-latency and high-throughput execution.

Why Cronos Matters

Cronos is uniquely positioned at the intersection of Cosmos interoperability and Ethereum compatibility. It brings together:

• Interoperability across chains via IBC and cross-chain bridges like Gravity and Axelar.
• Smart contract flexibility through support for both Solidity (EVM) and Cosmos SDK.
• Real-world use cases across payments, NFTs, gaming, and enterprise integrations.
• Secure, scalable staking infrastructure with Tendermint BFT consensus and Cosmos governance.

As adoption of Web3 infrastructure accelerates, Cronos is positioned to serve as a foundational layer for both on-chain builders and institutional asset managers.
