Cronos is an open-source Layer-1 chain that aims to provide builders with the ability to port apps and crypto assets from other chains while benefitting from low transaction fees, high throughput and large user base.

Success with Cronos | RockX - Gateway for Crypto and Blockchain

The Cronos team built a public access node for anyone, ranging from developers to wallets to blockchain explorers, needing access to their blockchain. While this enabled the community to access data on Cronos, the team wanted to ensure optimal node performance while simultaneously building the chain itself. To optimise resource allocation, the Cronos team decided to outsource the expansion of its public infrastructure to an experienced team that could also bring in expertise from running nodes on other blockchains.

RockX is an established expert in the business of running and maintaining public-facing access node infrastructure. After studying Cronos’ unique architecture, a combination of EVM and Tendermint, RockX successfully launched a full node and an archive node for Cronos based on their requirements.

We’ve seen tremendous growth of the Cronos dApp ecosystem, with the pressing need to scale up Node API and enterprise-grade node infrastructure. We are excited to collaborate with RockX to provide robust infrastructure and tooling to all Cronos developers with various needs.

Today, anyone in the Cronos ecosystem can enjoy free access to RockX’s full node service. Users can easily upgrade their access to an archive node from RockX's access node portal to perform more sophisticated data inquiry and search. This way, the Cronos team can focus on building the chain while the public gets reliable access to on-chain data with RockX.
