What Is Cronos (CRO)?
Cronos is the blockchain ecosystem launched by Crypto.com. CRO is its native token, used for gas on the Cronos chains, staking and rewards inside Crypto.com's apps and card programme.
There are two Cronos networks: Cronos EVM, an Ethereum-compatible chain for DeFi and apps, and Cronos POS (formerly Crypto.org Chain), a Cosmos-based chain used mainly for payments and staking.
Cronos EVM vs Cronos POS
Cronos EVM uses 0x addresses, so MetaMask and other Ethereum wallets work once you add the network. Cronos POS uses addresses that start with cro1 and connects to other Cosmos chains via IBC.
CRO's supply has had a colourful history: about 70 billion CRO were burned in 2021, and in 2025 a contested governance vote reissued that amount for a strategic reserve. Supply news can move the price.

Mistakes to Avoid With CRO

Key Moments in CRO History
CRO launched in 2018 as the Crypto.com Coin. In 2021 Crypto.com burned about 70 billion CRO and launched Cronos, its EVM chain, while the original Crypto.org Chain was later renamed Cronos POS.
In 2025 a governance vote reissued 70 billion CRO for a strategic reserve, a move that split the community.

Is Now a Good Time to Swap CRO?
CRO often reacts to Crypto.com announcements, partnerships and supply changes. Nobody can time the market reliably, so many people swap in smaller chunks rather than all at once. A fixed-rate swap locks your quote for the order window if prices are moving fast. This isn't financial advice.
