# CRO (CRO) — machine-readable summary

> FORTUNA SIGNAL · FORA-01 evidence dossier · Researched 2026-09-15 · https://ron-delhaye-studios.github.io/fortuna-signal-live/tokens/cro.html

## Definition
EVM-compatible blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK, interoperating via IBC, positioned as the chain powering the Crypto.com ecosystem.

## What the holder owns (FORA-01 Q1)
CRO is the native asset of the Crypto.org Chain (Cronos POS chain) and of the Cronos EVM chain. It is staked by validators for consensus, paid as staking rewards, spent as transaction/gas fees, and used for on-chain governance. It also exists as an ERC-20 on Ethereum, bridged to native CRO.

## Verification verdict
Class NATIVE (Native) — FORA-01 scale: verification, not a quality ranking.
q1 VERIFIED · q2–q5 N/A (structural — bearer-native asset)

## Plain-language utility
Fuel for the Cronos network — pays for transactions across the Cronos ecosystem.

## Key risks & notes
Centralization risk is material because validators are permissioned; other risks include dependence on Crypto.com, competition, regulation, and promotional performance and adoption claims.
