Key highlights:
- Carbon Browser, a popular multi-chain web3 browser, recently added support for the Cronos chain and CRO token.
- This gives Carbon’s 6 million+ users easy access to Cronos’s thriving DeFi ecosystem and dApps.
- The integration means Carbon users can now store, send and receive CRO within Carbon’s built-in wallet.
The innovation in web3 continues at a rapid pace, with new integrations and partnerships emerging to push the boundaries of what is possible. One of the latest exciting developments comes from Carbon, the multi-chain web3 browser that has taken the crypto community by storm. Carbon recently announced the integration of the Cronos chain and support for its native CRO token, providing users with enhanced accessibility to the Cronos ecosystem.
Carbon Browser continues strong growth
Carbon Browser has seen tremendous growth since its launch, with over 6 million downloads so far on Android devices. This remarkable achievement cements Carbon’s status as one of the premier web3 browsers available today. Beyond the download numbers, Carbon also boasts an engaged user base of over 50,000 daily active users.
The upcoming release of the iOS version of Carbon Browser is hotly anticipated by users eager to experience the same slick web3 browsing on their iPhones. The iOS app will include the highly sought-after features already available on Android, like the multi-chain browser wallet, swaps, and bridge functionality. Carbon plans to rapidly extend these capabilities to Android after the iOS launch, ensuring feature parity across platforms.
Cronos integration provides additional accessibility
The Cronos integration provides Carbon users with enhanced exposure to the thriving Cronos ecosystem. Cronos aims to deliver the best of both worlds- the speed and scalability of a base layer-1 chain combined with the EVM compatibility and interoperability of an Ethereum sidechain.
Carbon users can now directly access Cronos dApps, DeFi platforms, NFT collections, and more. The integration also allows Carbon’s built-in multi-chain wallet to support CRO, enabling users to easily store, send, and receive the Cronos native token.
Before, you’d have to specifically download a Cronos wallet like Crypto.com DeFi Wallet to interact with the chain. Now CRO holders can seamlessly access Cronos dApps through Carbon.
This reduces friction and makes the Cronos ecosystem more accessible. With Carbon’s upcoming Android integration, this exposure will grow even further.
Ongoing innovation in the Cronos Ecosystem
Alongside the Carbon integration, Cronos has continued to ship innovations that improve the developer and user experience. The team recently launched a new block explorer designed specifically for the dual-chain architecture of Cronos.

The Cronos Explorer allows users to view transaction information and other blockchain data from both the Ethereum and Cosmos layers that make up Cronos. This provides transparency into the inner workings of the network.
The Carbon integration comes alongside other positive Cronos developments like:
- Launch of a new Cronos block explorer on testnet
- CRO staking going live on Crypto.com App
- Various partnerships and integrations from Crypto.com
These also improve infrastructure and utility for the network. With Crypto.com’s heavy promotion, further adoption could send CRO price higher in 2023. Though patience is required in crypto markets.
Developer-focused upgrades like these help accelerate adoption by giving builders the right tools and infrastructure required for secure and seamless dApp deployment. Together with integrations like Carbon, innovations on Cronos itself continue to drive value for users and developers alike.
The Carbon browser integration gives the Cronos ecosystem a nice boost in terms of reach and user accessibility. This has the potential to increase real-world CRO utility, trading volumes, and ultimately, the token’s price. But an immediate “moonshot” is unlikely- development takes time.
Despite recent market volatility, the long-term price outlook for CRO (2040-2050) remains bullish thanks to accelerating utility and adoption.
