CRO token is used to pay transaction fees on Cronos, earn cashback and staking rewards in the Crypto.com App, and access exclusive benefits in the Crypto.com ecosystem including the popular metal Visa cards with crypto cashback.

How to Swap CRO

Swapping Cronos (CRO) on SyntheticSwap is simple and requires no registration or KYC. Connect your personal crypto wallet, select CRO as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and confirm the live exchange rate. Once you send CRO to the deposit address provided, SyntheticSwap processes the exchange automatically and delivers the destination asset directly to your wallet. No personal information is collected — fully non-custodial from start to finish.

How to Store CRO

CRO can be stored in the official Crypto.com App (custodial) or in self-custody wallets. MetaMask supports Cronos by adding the custom network (chainId 25, RPC: https://evm.cronos.org). Trust Wallet and Ledger hardware wallets also support CRO. For ERC-20 CRO (on Ethereum), any Ethereum wallet works. Always ensure you are sending to the correct network to avoid losing funds.
