Cronos zkEVM
The separate ZK network that tried to combine an established community, liquid staking and loyalty rewards, then entered a managed wind-down.
Cronos zkEVM is a distinct Ethereum-connected ZK Stack network whose gas asset is zkCRO, a liquid-staking derivative. Its alpha mainnet opened in August 2024. In June 2026, Cronos announced a transition toward permanent shutdown on June 3, 2027. This account preserves the original ambition while treating the published exit arrangements as the current priority.
