Cronos (CRO) Labs announced the launch of the Passage quest for Cronos zkEVM, the next-generation layer 2 blockchain network. The Passage quest is designed to engage users ahead of the mainnet launch, which is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
Cronos zkEVM Passage Quest
The Passage quest allows users to deposit CRO or LCRO into the Cronos zkEVM bridge. In return, participants will receive zkCRO and loyalty points. These loyalty points can later be exchanged for increased cryptocurrency yields in various participating cryptocurrencies, including zkCRO and ZK.
The more CRO users deposit, the more points they can accumulate. However, this opportunity is time-limited and will end as soon as Cronos zkEVM is launched.

In related news, VVS Finance has launched a new meme coin farm, including CRO/CAW, CRO/ROBIN, and CRO/CROGINAL. Fulcrom Finance has expanded to Cronos zkEVM as part of its multi-chain strategy and listed new tokens such as PEPE, DOGE, and SHIB on the Cronos EVM chain.
