Cronos zkEVM chain
Overview
Cronos zkEVM is a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup scaling solution that is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It processes transactions off-chain and submits validity proofs to Ethereum, enabling low-cost, high-throughput execution of Ethereum-native smart contracts.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Cronos zkEVM connects to 2 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, ZK Stack.

Frequently asked questions
What is Cronos zkEVM?
Cronos zkEVM is a layer-2 blockchain that uses ZK-rollup technology to batch transactions and generate cryptographic proofs, ensuring security inherited from Ethereum while offering EVM compatibility.
How does Cronos zkEVM differ from the original Cronos chain?
Cronos zkEVM is a ZK-rollup built on Ethereum, whereas the original Cronos chain is a Cosmos SDK-based blockchain with a separate consensus mechanism.
What applications are built on Cronos zkEVM?
It supports general-purpose DeFi and gaming applications that require high throughput and low transaction fees while maintaining EVM compatibility.
What is Cronos zkEVM connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Cronos zkEVM is linked to 2 other tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, ZK Stack.
