除 ZKsync 时代之外的第一条二层 ZK 链 Cronos zkEVM 现已上线主网

Cronos Labs 宣布，除 ZKsync Era 之外的第一个二层 ZK 链 Cronos zkEVM 现已上线主网。

Cronos Labs has announced the mainnet launch of Cronos zkEVM, the first layer-2 ZK chain besides ZKsync Era.

Cronos Labs 宣布上线 Cronos zkEVM 主网，这是除 ZKsync Era 之外的第一个二层 ZK 链。

The new network is a collaboration between Cronos Labs and engineering teams from Matter Labs (one of the contributors to ZKsync), Crypto.com, VVS Finance, Fulcrom Finance and Veno Finance, as well as more than 20 launch partners.

新网络是 Cronos Labs 与 Matter Labs（ZKsync 的贡献者之一）、Crypto.com、VVS Finance、Fulcrom Finance 和 Veno Finance 的工程团队以及 20 多个启动合作伙伴之间的合作。

Cronos zkEVM is a layer-2 blockchain on top of Ethereum, powered by ZKsync technology. Its testnet, launched in December 2023, has seen more than 3 million unique addresses creating millions of transactions. The network is now live on mainnet.

Cronos zkEVM 是以太坊之上的第 2 层区块链，由 ZKsync 技术提供支持。其测试网于 2023 年 12 月推出，已有超过 300 万个唯一地址创造了数百万笔交易。该网络现已在主网上上线。

Cronos zkEVM will coexist with Cronos EVM and Cronos POS, blockchains which encompass more than 6 billion dollars of user assets and have securely settled more than 150 million transactions by more than 1 million users to date. The new network expands the Cronos ecosystem into the fast-growing world of interconnected Ethereum layer-2 networks.

Cronos zkEVM 将与 Cronos EVM 和 Cronos POS 区块链共存，这些区块链包含超过 60 亿美元的用户资产，迄今为止已安全解决了超过 100 万用户的超过 1.5 亿笔交易。新网络将 Cronos 生态系统扩展到快速增长的互连以太坊第 2 层网络的世界。

Cronos zkEVM uses $zkCRO, a liquid staked version of $CRO (Cronos), as its gas token, although account abstraction makes it possible for users to pay transaction fees in a wide range of tokens or even enable gasless transactions.

Cronos zkEVM 使用 $zkCRO（$CRO（Cronos）的流动质押版本）作为其 Gas 代币，尽管账户抽象使用户可以使用各种代币支付交易费用，甚至实现无 Gas 交易。

Ken Timsit from Cronos Labs, commented: “The Cronos team has a track record of leveraging the best blockchain technology to create compelling use cases, as well as contributing back to these open-source projects. Through the launch of Cronos zkEVM and our integration with ZKsync, we would like to help to realize the long term vision of Ethereum on a path towards infinite scalability and mainstream adoption.”

Cronos Labs 的 Ken Timsit 评论道：“Cronos 团队在利用最好的区块链技术创建引人注目的用例以及为这些开源项目做出贡献方面有着良好的记录。通过推出 Cronos zkEVM 以及与 ZKsync 的集成，我们希望帮助实现以太坊在无限可扩展性和主流采用之路上的长期愿景。”

Anthony Rose, Chief Technology Officer at Matter Labs, commented: “The ZKsync v24 protocol upgrade, deployed to mainnet back in June, was a major step forward for the ZKsync network. This upgrade paved the way for ZK Chains to join the Elastic Chain ecosystem. The Cronos team is extremely strong, and they have a proven track record in delivering technologies that people want to use. It has been a really rewarding collaboration, and I’m really excited that they’re hitting such a consequential milestone and have also done so as the first ZK Chain after Era to be live. I’m looking forward to the continued innovation as the broader network continues to mature.”

Matter Labs 首席技术官 Anthony Rose 评论道：“ZKsync v24 协议升级于 6 月份部署到主网，是 ZKsync 网络向前迈出的重要一步。此次升级为ZK Chains加入Elastic Chain生态系统铺平了道路。 Cronos 团队非常强大，他们在提供人们想要使用的技术方面拥有良好的记录。这是一次非常有意义的合作，我真的很兴奋他们正在达到如此重要的里程碑，并且也是 Era 之后第一个上线的 ZK 链。随着更广泛的网络不断成熟，我期待着持续的创新。”

Cronos zkEVM leverages its vibrant user and developer ecosystem of the Cronos project, known as #CROFam, representing an addressable user base of over a 100 million people. Most of the top Cronos app developers have already announced their expansion to the new chain, together with several new launch partners.

Cronos zkEVM 利用 Cronos 项目充满活力的用户和开发者生态系统（称为 #CROFam），代表着超过 1 亿人的可寻址用户群。大多数顶级克罗诺斯应用程序开发商已经宣布与几个新的发布合作伙伴一起扩展到新链。

Cronos’ DeFi ecosystem offers an appealing triple yield value proposition to end-users. This means that end-users can put their crypto assets to work and simultaneously unlock three levels of yield: the staking APR of liquid staked cryptocurrencies such as zkCRO, vETH and vUSD; the DeFi yield generated by decentralized applications, and the loyalty points accumulated by users when they complete ecosystem quests, that can be claimed to unlock additional rewards as part of the Pioneer Program.

Cronos 的 DeFi 生态系统为最终用户提供了有吸引力的三重收益价值主张。这意味着最终用户可以将他们的加密资产投入使用，同时解锁三个级别的收益：zkCRO、vETH 和 vUSD 等流动质押加密货币的质押年利率；去中心化应用程序产生的 DeFi 收益，以及用户在完成生态系统任务时积累的忠诚度积分，可以作为先锋计划的一部分解锁额外奖励。

Thousands of early adopters have already acquired $zkCRO by participating in the pre-launch deposit program called Cronos zkEVM Passage, which attracted 100 million CRO in deposits.

数千名早期采用者已经通过参与名为 Cronos zkEVM Passage 的预启动存款计划获得了 $zkCRO，该计划吸引了 1 亿 CRO 存款。

Cronos zkEVM features a native Ethereum bridge, secured by Ethereum smart contracts, that is shared with Era and other ZK chains. The enhanced security of this L1 <> L2 bridge changes the game completely, bringing peace of mind to end-users who until now only rely on third-party controlled bridges to transfer cryptocurrencies between layer-1 or layer-2 networks.

Cronos zkEVM 具有本地以太坊桥，由以太坊智能合约保护，与 Era 和其他 ZK 链共享。这种 L1 <> L2 桥接器增强的安全性完全改变了游戏规则，让最终用户安心无忧，因为到目前为止，他们仅依赖第三方控制的桥接器在第 1 层或第 2 层网络之间传输加密货币。
