Cronos completes mainnet upgrade 

The Cronos mainnet upgrade that was completed on Wednesday improved the backward compatibility and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) enhancements on the chain. The Cosmos-based chain allows for the porting of apps and smart contracts from Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains.

CRO’s blockchain is one of the few chains that exist at the intersection of Ethereum and Cosmos and the open-source blockchain has now improved backward compatibility for dApps. 

The chain is known for its fast finality and low-cost transactions. The chain competes with Ethereum and offers multichain interoperability for users. 

CRO price is down nearly 2% 

CRO, the native token of the Cronos chain, has seen nearly 2% decline in its price on Wednesday. CRO price is down nearly 15% in the past week. At the time of writing, CRO price is $0.1237 on Crypto.com.
