Cronos zkEVM and Covalent enhance DeFi with new integration

In a key partnership, Cronos and Covalent aim to enhance DeFi on Ethereum with faster, more affordable transactions via Cronos zkEVM.

In a strategic move set to significantly upgrade the landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi), Cronos and Covalent have joined forces in anticipation of the launch of Cronos zkEVM.

This integration is poised to bring some of the lowest and fastest transactions to the Ethereum ecosystem.

The Covalent integration signifies a concerted effort to foster a more interconnected blockchain ecosystem, presenting Cronos developers with fresh opportunities for integration and application development through CQT’s data access.

Leveraging Covalent’s expansive network and singular Unified API, Cronos zkEVM is set to expand its utility and reach, amplifying its impact across the decentralized application (dApp) space.

The Covalent Unified API serves as a powerful tool designed to seamlessly access real-time and historical blockchain data across +225 blockchains.

It will act as a gateway for Cronos zkEVM to utilize various capabilities, including standardized, human-readable transactions, quick data retrieval, and scalable infrastructure.

Enriching over 240 million wallets with its data, Covalent provides Cronos zkEVM with unparalleled access to insights and analytics possibilities, enabling enhanced decision-making and user experience within the ecosystem.

With its support, Cronos zkEVM is poised to unlock new levels of efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in the rapidly evolving landscape of DeFi. 

David Tso, Growth & Customer Success Lead at Covalent says: “Cronos zkEVM aims to launch its Mainnet in June to expand Cronos and connect Cronos dApps even more with Ethereum. We look forward to their launch and believe that their modular data availability and native account abstraction will revolutionize the ecosystem.” 

Cronos zkEVM’s primary objective is to facilitate a paradigm shift in liquidity from centralized platforms to a decentralized, onchain ecosystem.

To achieve this, the platform strategically tackles DeFi challenges by introducing innovative solutions for liquidity fragmentation, yield generation complexities, and user experience barriers.

By establishing shared liquidity via trustless bridges, simplifying earnings with native yield-bearing assets, and enhancing usability through account abstraction, Cronos zkEVM paves the way for a future characterized by unified liquidity, passive yield accrual, and streamlined wallet management.

With Covalent’s expertise, Cronos is well-positioned to lead the charge in zero-knowledge L2 technology and modular data availability, enhancing transaction speed, reducing costs, and ensuring robust security measures are in place.

Together, Cronos zkEVM and Covalent are poised to drive unprecedented innovation and foster a more inclusive, efficient, and secure financial ecosystem for users worldwide.
