TLDR; what do I need to know if I am considering Cronos Network for my dapp?

Cronos (cronos.com) is the leading Ethereum-compatible layer 1 blockchain network built on the Cosmos SDK, supported by Crypto.com and hundreds of app developers and partners. Today, the #CROfam ecosystem represents an addressable user base of more than 150 million people worldwide.

Cronos can help most dapp creators to enhance the visibility of their product in the Cronos user community. However, Cronos is generally not able to promote token or NFT sales. The following support is available to dapp creators:

• Technical support via Discord and Telegram.

• Project listing on our Ecosystem page

• Introductions to other dapps, key opinion leaders and project launchpads.

FAQs - ecosystem

How can I get my project featured at cronos.com/ecosystem?

How can I get my project featured in Trust Wallet, once deployed on Cronos?

• Trust Wallet supports the Cronos mainnet from within the in-app Dapp browser (via the injected Web3 provider) and also via Wallet Connect.

• You can contact the Trust Wallet team to have your Dapp and/or token featured in the Trust Wallet’s mobile Dapp browser. Refer to the documentation for more details.

How can I get my NFT collection allow-listed on the relevant NFT platforms?

How can I become a node operator?

• Anyone can run their own Cronos node: see the documentation for instructions.
