Launched on August 15, 2024, the Cronos (CRO) zkEVM Pioneer Program gives participants the opportunity to earn points by participating in various tasks within the Cronos ecosystem. According to Cronos Labs, these points can later be converted into rewards in participating cryptocurrencies, such as zkCRO tokens and tokens from other partner dApps.
What is the Cronos zkEVM Pioneer Program?
The Cronos zkEVM Pioneer Program is a rewards initiative that encourages users to stake funds on the Cronos zkEVM chain and leverage decentralized applications (dApps). The first season will run for 8 to 12 weeks, starting on August 15, 2024, with the exact end date announced in mid-September.
