How to add Cronos to MetaMask

Cronos – is a tier 1 blockchain without access rights that was created using the Cosmos SDK to ensure interoperability between the Cosmos and Ethereum networks. Its native token is CRO, which is the same native currency for the Crypto.org chain. For those who want to use CRO or access any DApps built on this chain, you need to add the chain to MetaMask for faster access.

In this article, we take a quick look at how you can add a Cronos chain to your MetaMask wallet. Let’s dive in!

Installing and configuring MetaMask

If you haven’t already done so, create your MetaMask wallet. After that, you will be able to add multiple chains to it and use the same wallet in multiple chains and dApps. To add Cronos to your MetaMask wallet, open the wallet in the “Extensions” tab.

To simplify your work, select the “Advanced View” option by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner. You will be taken to a new tab.

Select the colored drive icon in the upper right corner of the screen and go to Settings.

Click on the “Networks” tab on the left side of the screen and a new screen will appear with all the added networks to your MetaMask Wallet. Now you can select “Add Network” to add a Cronos network.
