Hong Kong, Hong Kong, May 8th, 2025, ChainwireCronos EVM, the Ethereum-compatible blockchain for the Cronos ecosystem, has announced the launch of two new Stargate pools. ETH and USDC pools are now live on Cronos EVM following the integration of LayerZero’s omnichain messaging protocol.The introduction of LayerZero’s interoperability solution has enabled new cross-chain pools to be deployed on Cronos. The Stargate-powered ETH and USDC pools support deep liquidity for enhanced trading on Cronos EVM. This is achieved through drawing liquidity from multiple networks to deliver better pricing and capital efficiency.Built on LayerZero, Stargate’s liquidity architecture unifies liquidity and connects users to more than 50 blockchains, providing seamless interoperability. As a result, developers and users on Cronos can take advantage of connectivity between the networks already supported by Stargate; it’s the Omnichain network.Cronos Lead Mirko Zhao said: “Thanks to LayerZero, the Cronos universe has just expanded. With new Stargate pools for ETH and USDC, Cronos EVM users can enjoy boundless liquidity, while DeFi projects can create new products that are native to Cronos while being fully cross-chain. We’re excited to see what developers create by taking advantage of these powerful primitives that strengthen the ties between Cronos and the broader omnichain landscape.”Through integrating Stargate, Cronos is able to enhance end-user experience significantly, particularly in terms of token bridging. The move also benefits Cronos dapp developers, who can leverage Stargate’s unified liquidity network, to build new cross-chain solutions that harness Omnichain scalability.A core component of Stargate’s V2 protocol, Hydra operates as a Bridge-as-a-Service (BaaS). This enables chains without native assets to tap into unified liquidity across Stargate’s entire network. By locking native assets in core pools and minting 1:1 Hydra-backed assets on connected chains, dapps can connect directly to the Omnichain to gain seamless interoperability, capital efficiency, and stablecoin support. This helps new chains bootstrap liquidity and users and to scale rapidly from day one.The launch of new pools and Omnichain connectivity on Cronos EVM will form direct pipelines between the Cronos ecosystem and Stargate’s connected chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism and Base. This will enable Cronos to grow TVL and deepen liquidity as users can move swiftly and seamlessly between blockchain networks.“Cronos is a core pillar of the DeFi industry,” said Lamps, Foundation Lead at Stargate. “By connecting to Stargate’s Omnichain liquidity network, Cronos enters a truly unified Web3 where value flows freely, and developers can unlock the next generation of Omnichain-powered applications.”About CronosCronos is a leading blockchain ecosystem, adopted by Crypto.com and more than 500 application developers and partners representing an addressable user base of more than 80 million people around the world. Cronos’ mission is to make it easy and safe for the next billion crypto users to adopt self-custody in Web3, with a focus on Decentralized Finance and Gaming.The Cronos universe encompasses 3 chains: Cronos (EVM), the leading Ethereum-compatible blockchain built on Cosmos SDK; Cronos POS, a leading Cosmos chain for payments and NFTs; and Cronos zkEVM, a new high performance layer 2 network. Cronos ranks among the top 15 blockchain ecosystems, safeguarding more than 6 billion dollars of user assets. Since launching in 2021, it has securely settled more than 100 million transactions.Cronos Labs is the $100M startup accelerator focused on Cronos.About StargateLaunched in 2022, Stargate is the largest fully composable native asset bridge and the first unified liquidity network, enabling seamless, capital-efficient transfers between chains with instant, guaranteed finality. Built on LayerZero, it connects liquidity across 50+ blockchains, delivering frictionless interoperability for DeFi. With Stargate, value moves freely.ContactMarket Acrosspr@marketacross.comThe post Cronos EVM Launches Stargate ETH and USDC Pools Following LayerZero Integration appeared first on ChainBits.

BeatSwap is evolving towards a full-stack Web3 infrastructure, covering the entire lifecycle of IP rights.

The core product "Space" is scheduled to launch in Q2 2026, driven by SocialFi


BeatSwap, a global Web3 Intellectual Property (IP) infrastructure project, is attempting to overcome the current fragmentation limitations of the Web3 ecosystem, building a full-stack system that covers the entire lifecycle of IP rights.


Currently, most Web3 projects are still in the stage of functional fragmentation, often focusing only on a single aspect, such as IP asset tokenization, transaction functionality, or a simple incentive model. This structural dispersion has become a key bottleneck hindering the industry's scale application.


BeatSwap's approach is more integrated, integrating multiple core modules into the same system, including:


· IP authentication and on-chain registration

· Authorization-based revenue sharing mechanism

· User-engagement-driven incentive system

· Transaction and liquidity infrastructure


Through the above integration, the platform builds an end-to-end closed-loop path, allowing IP rights to complete a full cycle of "creation, use, and monetization" within the same ecosystem.


Expanding from Web3 to a broader market: Restructuring the music industry's supply-demand structure


BeatSwap is not limited to existing crypto users but is attempting to take the global music industry as a starting point, actively creating new market demand. Its core strategies include:


Exploring and incubating music creators (Artist discovery)

Building a fan community

Igniting IP-centric content consumption demand


The current global music industry is valued at around $260 billion, with over 2 billion digital music users. This means that the potential market corresponding to the tokenization and financialization of IP far exceeds the traditional crypto user base.


In this context, BeatSwap positions itself at the intersection of "real-world content demand" and "on-chain infrastructure," attempting to bridge the structural gap between content production and financial flow.


"Space" to Launch in Q2 2026: Building the Core of SocialFi


BeatSwap's upcoming core product "Space" is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2026. This product is defined as the SocialFi layer in the ecosystem, aiming to directly connect creators with users and achieve deep integration with other platform modules.


Key designs include:

A fan-centric interactive mechanism

Exposure and distribution logic based on $BTX staking

User paths connected to DeFi and liquidity structures


Thus, a complete user behavior loop is formed within the platform: Discovery → Participation → Consumption → Rewards → Trading


$BTX Token Mechanism: Evolving from an Incentive Tool to a Value Carrier


$BTX is designed to be a core utility asset within the ecosystem, rather than just a simple incentive token, with its value directly tied to platform activity and IP use cases.


Main features include:


· Yield distribution based on on-chain authorized actions

· Value reflection based on IP usage and user engagement dynamics

· Support for staking and DeFi participation mechanisms

· Value growth driven by ecosystem expansion


With the increased frequency of IP use, the utility and value support of $BTX will enhance simultaneously, helping alleviate the "disconnect between value and utility" issue present in traditional Web3 token models to some extent.


Accelerating Global Exchange Layout: Enhancing Liquidity and Accessibility


Currently, $BTX has been listed on several mainstream exchanges, including:


Binance Alpha

Gate

MEXC

OKX Boost


As the launch of "Space" approaches, BeatSwap is actively pursuing more exchange listings to further enhance liquidity and global accessibility, laying a foundation for future market expansion.


Beyond Web3: Aiming for a Larger-Scale Integration of Content and Finance Markets


BeatSwap's goal is no longer limited to the traditional Web3 narrative but aims to target over 2 billion digital music users and a trillion KRW-scale content market.


By integrating content creators, users, capital, and liquidity into a blockchain framework centered around IP rights, BeatSwap is striving to build a next-generation infrastructure focused on "IP tokenization."


Conclusion


BeatSwap integrates IP authentication, authorization distribution, incentive mechanism, transaction system, and market construction to establish a unified structure that bridges the full lifecycle path of IP rights.


With the launch of the Q2 2026 "Space," the project is expected to become a key infrastructure connecting content and finance in the IP-RWA (Real World Assets) track.
