What are Cronos and CRO?
Cronos is a blockchain network. CRO is the native cryptocurrency used on Cronos to pay transaction fees.
Cronos is EVM-compatible, meaning developers can bring decentralized apps from Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains to Cronos. Cronos also runs separately from the Cronos POS Chain, which is another chain powered by CRO.
