Cronos is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain tied to the Crypto.com ecosystem. It launched in November 2021 as a way to bring Ethereum-style apps to a faster, cheaper network. Because it runs the EVM, developers can reuse Solidity contracts and users can connect with common EVM wallets. It is built on the Cosmos tooling stack, and it also has a separate zkEVM network, which hosts apps such as Moonlander and Fulcrom Perps.
CRO is the native token and pays for transaction fees on Cronos. Fees are generally low compared with Ethereum mainnet, though they vary by network conditions. Cronos DeFi TVL was about $113.1M at the time of writing, a modest total compared with the largest chains.
The Cronos-native ecosystem leans toward trading and staking. VVS Standard is the main DEX, with VVS Flawless offering concentrated liquidity and MM Finance and Crypto.com DeFi Swap as smaller options. Veno Finance and Crypto.com Liquid Staking cover liquid staking, Tectonic is a lending market, and Moonlander and Fulcrom Perps offer leveraged perpetuals. Launch and token-lock tools such as PinkSale, Team Finance and FlokiFi Locker also support the chain. Quality varies across the 88 apps on this site, so check each app's score and status before using it.

Frequently asked questions
What is Cronos?
Cronos is a Layer-1 blockchain that is closely linked to the Crypto.com ecosystem. It is EVM-compatible, so apps written for Ethereum can be deployed on it. Search sources date its launch to November 2021.
Is Cronos EVM compatible?
Yes. Cronos supports Ethereum-style smart contracts and wallets, so developers can reuse Solidity code and users can connect with familiar EVM wallets. Cronos zkEVM is a separate network with its own chain entry, and some dApps such as Moonlander and Fulcrom Perps run on it.
What is the CRO token used for?
CRO is the native token of Cronos and is used to pay transaction fees on the chain. It also appears in several dApps as a staking or trading asset, for example in Veno Finance's liquid staking and in the Crypto.com DeFi Swap exchange. Check each app for how it uses the token.
Which are the biggest dApps on Cronos?
Among apps built mainly for Cronos, VVS Standard is the largest DEX by TVL, at about $82.5M at the time of writing. Veno Finance (liquid staking), Tectonic (lending), Moonlander and Fulcrom Perps (perpetuals) and VVS Flawless (concentrated liquidity) are other Cronos-focused apps. Multi-chain tools such as PinkSale, Team Finance and FlokiFi Locker also support the chain.
What risks should I know about before using Cronos dApps?
Cronos DeFi TVL was about $113.1M at the time of writing, which is small next to the largest chains, so liquidity can be thin in some pools. Some projects have had trouble: Tectonic had a reported price-manipulation exploit, and EmpireDEX is described as closed. Check the status of any app before depositing funds, and only use money you can afford to lose.
Are all dApps listed here built only for Cronos?
No. Some of the largest entries on this page, such as LayerZero V2, Bitget and Gate, are bridges or centralized exchanges that support Cronos among many other networks. The figures shown for them reflect their whole platform, not only Cronos activity. Cronos-native protocols like VVS Standard or Veno Finance are the better guide to the chain's own DeFi scene.
What is the largest dApp on Cronos by TVL?
