Tools for Cronos

Every tool below works on Cronos and every other EVM chain — read any Cronos contract, decode Cronos calldata before signing, or convert wei to CRO with exact math. All client-side — keys and payloads never upload.

About the Cronos

Cronos is the EVM-compatible chain built by Crypto.com, designed for payments, DeFi, and GameFi. It uses the standard EVM instruction set, so every Ethereum tool works natively — the same addresses, the same ABI encoding, the same Keccak-256 hashing.

This page curates Formatho tools that work on Cronos (chain ID 25), with the RPC endpoint pre-configured. Read smart contracts, generate vanity addresses, hash with Keccak-256, and encode ABI calldata — all client-side, which matters when working with CRO and DeFi positions.

How to use

  1. Use the Contract Reader with the Cronos RPC endpoint to call view functions.
  2. Generate a vanity address — the same key works on Cronos and every EVM chain.
  3. Convert between wei and CRO using the EVM Unit Converter.
  4. Compute function selectors and ABI calldata for Cronos smart contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cronos chain ID 25? ▾

Chain ID 25 identifies the Cronos mainnet. When configuring wallets, MetaMask, or RPC endpoints, use this ID to connect to Cronos instead of Ethereum (chain ID 1) or other chains.

Do Ethereum tools work on Cronos? ▾

Yes — Cronos is fully EVM-compatible, meaning it uses the same address format, ABI encoding, and smart contract execution model as Ethereum. All Formatho EVM tools work on Cronos without modification.

What is the gas token on Cronos? ▾

CRO is used for gas fees on Cronos. Gas is typically much cheaper than Ethereum mainnet, with transactions costing fractions of a cent.
