Cronos EVM inside the Cosmos ecosystem

Let’s meet Cronos EVM - an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. It offers high transaction throughput, fast transaction finality, and low transaction fees. Its Proof of Authority (i.o. PoA) consensus mechanism provides a balance of decentralization, scalability, and efficient transaction processing with minimal environmental impact.

Additionally, Cronos EVM captures the sight of crypto enthusiasts because its Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) allows the network to communicate with other Cosmos SDK-based blockchains that have IBC enabled. Here’s to the Cosmos ecosystem!

Cronos EVM blockchain is a part of cronos.org blockchain ecosystem that has partnered with Crypto.com and more than 500 applications and contributors representing an addressable user base of more than a hundred millions of people around the world. By adding Cronos EVM to Symbiosis Protocol, we not only strengthen our network but also unlock cross-chain routes to multiple blockchain networks.

Swapping assets to Cronos EVM from Ethereum, Linea, TRON Blockchain, Arbitrum One and Nova Networks and more - this is a cross-chain party we’re throwing and inviting the Cronos community to

Detailing Cronos EVM bridge at Symbiosis

Since Cronos EVM network by design supports calls and information exchange with other Ethereum-like networks, smart contracts at Symbiosis make bridging to the network smoother and more accessible.

  • We enable the cross-chain connection support of Bitcoin and TRON Blockchain - the non-EVM networks - with Cronos EVM.


  • Since Cronos EVM has its own gas token, transaction fees on the network are paid in Cronos token - $CRO.
