Introduction

Welcome to the Crypto.com AI Agent SDK and Developer Platform.

This guide will help you get started quickly and understand the two main ways you can interact with Crypto.com's developer tools to build on Cronos EVM and Cronos zkEVM.

Overview

Crypto.com sits at the product layer, offering apps, services, and developer tools like the Crypto.com App, Exchange, and DeFi Wallet, all built to support and integrate with the Cronos chains. In partnership with Cronos Labs, Crypto.com delivers seamless access to projects running on Cronos.

At the technology layer, Cronos consists of three public blockchains:

  • Cronos zkEVM – a Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Ethereum Layer-2 focused on scalability, security, and innovation.

  • Cronos EVM – an Ethereum-compatible Layer-1 built on the Cosmos SDK, optimized for Web3 and decentralized applications.

  • Cronos POS – a Proof-of-Stake Layer-0 chain that underpins the security of the Cronos ecosystem.

These chains expose native Explorer APIs and JSON-RPC methods for direct integration. To simplify this, the Crypto.com Developer Platform offers a higher-level Service API built on Ethers.

Through its Client SDKs, developers can access tokens, smart contracts, transactions, blocks, and wallets on Cronos EVM and Cronos zkEVM (Cronos POS is not supported), without managing low-level node connections. In addition, the Developer Platform integrates access to the Crypto.com Exchange API and DeFi platforms like VVS and H2, helps developers to interact with trading, liquidity, and DeFi functionality directly from the same unified interface.

On top of this, the Crypto.com AI Agent SDK adds a natural-language interface powered by LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Google GenAI). It provides end users with the ability to interact with blockchain functionality, such as checking balances or sending tokens, simply by expressing their intent in plain language, the SDK translates these inputs into API calls and returns the results back in plain language.

Two Ways to Building on Cronos with Crypto.com Tools

1. Crypto.com AI Agent SDK

Crypto.com AI Agent SDK allows developers to build apps where end users can interact with Cronos EVM and Cronos zkEVM using natural language. The SDK interprets plain-language questions or commands and translates them into blockchain interactions via the Developer Platform Service API, which abstracts chain complexity, normalizes responses, and handles authentication, rate limits, and environment scoping.

The AI Agent SDK provides idiomatic methods for:

  • Interacting with tokens, smart contracts, and transaction data

  • Querying balances, transaction statuses, and block information

  • Managing wallets and CronosID resolution

  • Accessing the Crypto.com Exchange API and DeFi platforms such as VVS and H2

  • Building user-friendly experiences like chatbots, assistants, and wallets without requiring users to understand blockchain technical details

2. Crypto.com On-Chain Developer Platform Client SDK

Crypto.com Developer Platform Client SDK allows developers to work with Cronos EVM and Cronos zkEVM through conventional APIs. The SDK is built on the Developer Platform Service API, which abstracts chain complexity, normalizes responses, and handles authentication, rate limits, and environment scoping. It is implemented with Ethers, so your app does not need to call Cronos Explorer APIs or JSON‑RPC directly.

The Client SDKs (TypeScript/Python) provide idiomatic methods for:

  • Querying balances, transactions, and blocks (Cronos EVM & zkEVM)

  • Working with native tokens and ERC‑20/ERC‑721 assets

  • Managing wallets and CronosID resolution

  • Accessing the Crypto.com Exchange API and DeFi platforms such as VVS and H2

  • Wallet utilities and project‑scoped credentials

TL;DR

  • Crypto.com is the product layer (Developer Platform, AI Agent SDK, Exchange, DeFi wallet, and other dApps).

  • Cronos is the technology layer (three chains).

  • Cronos chains expose Explorer APIs and JSON‑RPC.

  • Developer Platform uses Ethers and skips Explorer APIs/JSON‑RPC in your integration, integrates Crypto.com Exchange API and DeFi platform APIs, giving you a single, production‑ready surface.

  • AI Agent SDK adds natural-language access for end users to be able to communicate with Developer Platform in plain language.
