Cronos is a sidechain to the Crypto.com blockchain. What is a sidechain? Sidechains are best thought of as separate blockchains attached to the main blockchain. By creating a new blockchain, pegged to the native chain, we can do experimentation, innovation and competition to improve upon the existing protocols. Cronos was designed with this recent issue in mind. In fact, one can argue that its development started as a way of solving these issues by providing faster processing times and lower fees for both users and developers. In order to understand the idea behind Cronos, one needs to have a good understanding of Ethereum and its problems. It is a well-known fact that Ethereum is currently facing scalability issues as more users join the platform and try to send transactions. This has led to high gas prices and long transaction times, which in turn have led many developers to build dApps on other platforms, namely EOS and Tron etc.

Cronos was designed with this recent issue in mind. In fact, one can argue that its development started as a way of solving these issues by providing faster processing times and lower fees for both users and developers.

Cronos-World is one of the first platforms releasing on the Cronos ecosystem. We’re working on making Cronos-World a one-stop destination for all things Cronos. Cronos-World will have a series of releases lined up, each aimed to serve a specific purpose on the Cronos blockchain. We hope that our releases contribute towards the adoption of the Cronos chain both by the developers and investors and together contribute towards the betterment of all stakeholders. To ensure the longevity of the ecosystem, Cronos-World will launch an all-encompassing representation of everything that the Cronos blockchain users will need.

So Cronos-World will consist of

Each of these will make up its unique ecosystem. Cronos-World will act as the parent company of each ecosystem products and all of these will be available under the same platform, under one roof. More products will be released under Cronos-World upon community interest in the later stages. But for now, let’s have a look at each of the products that will go live soon !
