Cronos is an EVM chain built on Cosmos SDK with IBC connectivity, acting as the smart‑contract hub for the Crypto.com ecosystem. Its Cronos Gravity Bridge allows native ERC‑20 assets to move between Cosmos zones and Ethereum, and a native staking module pays ~12 % APR in CRO. The chain’s Gas Grants program has onboarded over 400 projects since 2022.
Mantle is a modular Ethereum Layer‑2 that decouples execution, data availability and settlement, using Optimistic rollup proofs on Ethereum mainnet and EigenDA for cheap blob‑based data. Its BitDAO‑backed treasury subsidises sequencer fees, keeping swaps under $0.05 even during L1 congestion. The network went live in July 2023 and now hosts over 150 dApps including the Mantle DEX and Fusion perpetuals.
