Cronos has announced the impending closure of the Cronoscan service, which will be unavailable starting October 6, 2025. Cronos Explorer will now be the primary tool for working with the blockchain and API. Developers are advised to complete all necessary data migration and integration steps with the new service to avoid application disruptions.
Cronos is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform developed by Crypto.com, which provides a wide range of financial, trading, and payment services. The project's primary goal is to enable the scalable and efficient migration of applications and cryptoassets from other networks to the Cronos ecosystem with minimal costs and accelerated transaction processing.
The platform uses Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) technology, ensuring compatibility with existing decentralized applications (dApps) built on Ethereum. This allows developers to easily adapt their projects to the Cronos network without requiring significant code changes.
The platform's native token, CRO, serves as the primary means of conducting on-net transactions and interacting with dApps. It is used to pay fees, participate in network governance, and perform other functions within the Cronos ecosystem.
The closure of Cronoscan is part of a strategy to optimize infrastructure and focus resources on developing Cronos Explorer. The transition to the new blockchain explorer will allow users and developers faster access to data and improve the quality of the APIs provided.
Therefore, it is important for anyone actively working with the Cronos network to prepare in advance for the migration and update of their services. Using Cronos Explorer will ensure application stability and preserve all the features previously available through Cronoscan.
Cronos continues to develop its ecosystem, providing developers with user-friendly tools and supporting integration with other blockchains. The platform is focused on growing the number of applications and users, while simultaneously improving scalability and reducing transaction costs.
Integration with Cronos Explorer opens new opportunities for monitoring blockchain activity and data analysis, providing developers and investors with up-to-date information about the network. This step confirms Cronos's strategy of creating a stable and user-friendly infrastructure for decentralized applications.
