Introducing Multi-Chain Support for Cronos ID

Enter a new era of simplicity for digital asset transactions

We’re excited to announce the latest update to Cronos ID: Multi-chain support in the Crypto.com DeFi Wallet! This enhancement allows you to use your unique .cro domain across multiple networks, making it easier than ever to send and receive assets.

Previously, Cronos ID could only be used within the Cronos network. However, with this new update, your .cro handle can now operate across multiple chains, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). This means you can manage and transfer your digital assets without juggling numerous wallet addresses. This streamlines your Web3 experience and reduces the risk of errors in managing your assets.

How It Works

1. Select your network: When sending assets, choose a supported network from the options available.
2. Enter recipient details: Input the recipient’s .cro domain. The app will automatically detect and validate the domain for the selected network.
3. Confirm and send: Review your transaction details and confirm. Your assets will be sent securely to your recipient’s .cro address!

What is Cronos ID?

Cronos ID is an identity and communication layer that enables users to assign a unique .cro username to their wallet, eliminating the need for long and complex wallet addresses.

With Cronos ID, sending and receiving tokens and NFTs becomes a breeze.
