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.
The dYdX Chain is an app‑specific Cosmos chain that replaced the prior StarkEx L2, giving validators control over an on‑chain order book for perpetual futures. Traders retain familiar features like cross‑margin and isolated positions, and DYDX token holders secure the chain while receiving 100 % of protocol fees. Lambda architecture shards order processing across ABCI++ extensions for sub‑second latency.
