Cronos Network retweeted
I Just looked the new upgrades on launch.cronos.com 👀
The Live market terminal is much leaner and every token in one place now.
This is the easiest way to follow new tokens on Cronos $CRO without jumping between apps.
@CronosNetwork
The new Cronos Launch is live.
Every token in one live market terminal. Graduations to VVS, tracked as they happen. Improved trading charts.
And a whole lot more. New upgrades at launch.cronos.com.
Trading involves risk.

CRO's first buyback and burn is done. This is the first in a planned monthly programme.
Trading on Ult and token launches on Cronos Launch generate fees. Ult fees are used to buy back CRO and Cronos Launch fees are unwrapped, and all of it is burned onchain.
Burned: 1,791,534.14 CRO
Tx: explorer.cronos.com/tx/0xda0…
Ult and Cronos Launch went live in September, so this burn covers the first weeks of fees. Each burn will be posted with its transaction, and the amount burned depends on the fees collected that month.

Cronos v1.8 is now live on mainnet.
With this upgrade, we are bringing ~20% faster median block times, an app-side mempool for lower latency and 90%+ EVM API equivalence.
Thank you to every validator, node operator and builder who helped us ship it.

The Cronos v1.8 mainnet upgrade is starting now.
Block production will pause at block 101,485,000, with around 30 minutes of expected downtime. The explorer, EVM mainnet endpoints, Cronos Portal mainnet endpoints and IBC transactions are expected to resume once the network is back.
On-chain state is unchanged. We will post here once the upgrade is complete.

The Cronos v1.8 mainnet upgrade is happening today, 22 Oct 2026.
The upgrade is set for block 101,485,000, expected between 7AM and 8AM UTC. Track the countdown: explorer.cronos.org/block/co…
Expect around 30 minutes of downtime. Block production, the explorer, EVM mainnet endpoints, Cronos Portal mainnet endpoints and IBC transactions will be unavailable during the upgrade.
All on-chain state carries over unchanged, and regular users don't need to do anything. Node operators, please upgrade cronosd to v1.8.0 at the upgrade height.

New Cronos EVM Mainet v1.8 upgrade is targeted for October 22, 2026
Excited to share that the Cronos EVM mainnet v1.8 upgrade is targeted for October 22, 2026.
This is a huge milestone for the base layer, integrating with the latest Cosmos SDK while delivering native parallel execution, lower propagation latency, and much deeper Ethereum compatibility.
Here’s what’s under the hood:
- Parallel EVM (Block-STM): Native multi-threaded execution embedded directly into the Cosmos SDK layer for higher sustained throughput.
- Faster Networking: Swapped the P2P stack to libp2p and introduced an app-side mempool to cut block turnaround overhead.
- 90%+ EVM Equivalence: Added 80+ Ethereum API methods so native tooling and dApps work seamlessly out of the box.
- Plus 40+ upstream stability fixes.
Simulation & Benchmark Highlights:
- Faster Block Times: Shaved block propagation latency by ~20%, sustaining median block times under 400ms across high-load sweeps.
- Throughput Headroom: Multi-node cluster simulations showed significant double-digit throughput gains alongside lower gas saturation before approaching network limits.
Peak Execution Ceiling: In ideal single-node batching tests, the engine delivered a ~15% boost in peak execution throughput at the hardware limit with zero execution stalls.
Validators and node operators, please check out the migration guide to prep your nodes ahead of the 22nd.

Both tokenomics proposals have passed.
228,000,000 CRO has been burned from the community pool, bringing the total to 428,000,000 CRO.
100% of Ult and Cronos Launch revenue will now buy CRO on the open market and burn it monthly, with every transaction hash published.
Staking rewards are unchanged, funded by the Strategic Reserve.
Thank you to everyone who voted.
