About Blockchains
What is Cronos?
Cronos emerges as an interoperable blockchain, streamlining the migration of applications and crypto assets from various chains while prioritizing low transaction costs, rapid throughput, and fast finalization times. It operates as an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chain, augmented with support for Inter-Blockchain Communications (IBC) networks based on the Cosmos SDK. This integration empowers developers to create and launch dApps atop the EVM infrastructure.
What is Arbitrum?
Arbitrum serves as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, leveraging rollups to significantly boost scalability and reduce transaction costs while maintaining robust security. It enables developers to execute EVM-compatible smart contracts with a substantially higher transaction throughput and lower fees compared to Ethereum's main chain, making it a compelling platform for decentralized application development.
