Crypto.com chain is a decentralized blockchain developed by Crypto.com. This is a crypto exchange and trading platform. The main aim of the Crypto.com Chain is to give people more control of their money and protect their online identities as they are involved with crypto payments. To do this, they launched Crypto.com coin(CRO), which is their native coin.
As the CRO blockchain provides a platform for users to access payments, trading, and CRO financial solutions, the coin acts as the currency for transactions in the blockchain. The CRO owners earn more coins for processing transactions in the blockchain. When using the Crypto.com app to make payments, they get a 20% cashback for every payment to merchants and 10% cashback for purchasing gift cards.
