Cronos is an EVM-compatible blockchain network powered by Ethermint, which allows rapid porting of apps and smart contracts from the Ethereum network and EVM-compatible chains. The network facilitates interoperability with other IBC-enabled chains (like Cosmos Hub and Terra) in a decentralised way. It is the native blockchain of the cryptocurrency exchange, Crypto.com.
BSC or Binance Smart Chain (formerly known as BNB Chain) is a blockchain network launched by the cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. The network supports smart contracts and dApps (decentralised applications). Binance Smart Chain runs alongside the BNB Chain, previously Binance Chain. It relies on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus, where users can stake BNB to become validators for the network.
Where to Bridge from Cronos to Binance Smart Chain
There are only two bridging protocols that allow direct bridging between the Cronos network and Binance Smart Chain, Multichain & Synapse Protocol. We suggest using Synapse Protocol as it offers significantly lower fees than Multichain and has a larger selection of bridging tokens available.
In addition to bridging crypto from Cronos to Binance Smart Chain, users can also trade and stake cryptocurrencies across 15 different networks. Synapse is the only DEX to facilitate cross-chain staking options.
