Cronos (CRO) Unveils zkEVM Developers Portal to Streamline Dapp Creation

Cronos
(CRO)
has
launched
the
Cronos
zkEVM
Developers
Portal,
a
comprehensive
resource
aimed
at
accelerating
the
development
of
decentralized
applications
(dapps)
on
the
Cronos
zkEVM
blockchain,
according
to

Cronos
Newsletter.

Developer
API
Access

The
core
feature
of
the
new
portal
is
the
Developer
API,
which
allows
developers
to
query
blockchain
data,
verify
smart
contracts,
and
build
sophisticated
applications
seamlessly.
The
API
supports
GET/POST
requests,
providing
access
to
a
range
of
data
types:

• 
  Accounts
  data:
  Balance,
  transaction
  history,
  internal
  transactions
• 
  Blocks
  data:
  Block
  details
• 
  Contracts
  data:
  ABI,
  source
  code,
  verification
  submissions,
  and
  status
• 
  ETH
  proxy:
  Proxy
  for
  commonly
  used
  zkEVM
  RPC
  endpoints
• 
  Logs
  data:
  Log
  details
• 
  Tokens
  data:
  Account
  balance
  for
  tokens,
  total
  supply
  for
  tokens
• 
  Transactions
  data:
  Transaction
  status

This
real-time
data,
typically
updated
within
minutes,
enhances
the
performance
and
reliability
of
dapps.

Getting
Started
With
the
Cronos
zkEVM
Developer
API

To
utilize
the
Cronos
zkEVM
Developer
API,
developers
need
to
register
an
account
on
the

Account
Registration
page
of
the
portal.
After
registration,
users
can
access
both
mainnet
and
testnet
API
keys
from
their
dashboard.

Comprehensive
documentation
is
available
to
guide
developers
through
making
requests,
parsing
responses,
and
using
various
endpoints.
The
documentation
covers
a
wide
range
of
data,
including
accounts,
blocks,
contracts,
transactions,
logs,
tokens,
and
statistics.

The
API
supports
any
programming
language
capable
of
making
HTTP
requests,
offering
flexibility
in
development
environments,
whether
it’s
JavaScript,
Python,
Java,
or
others.
To
ensure
fair
usage,
the
API
enforces
a
rate
limit
of
50,000
calls
per
day,
sufficient
for
application
development
but
potentially
restrictive
for
intensive
production
use.

With
an
API
key
and
detailed
documentation,
developers
are
equipped
to
create
innovative
solutions
on
the
Cronos
zkEVM
chain.
