KYVEcontinues to expand its trustless data sets, recently partnering with and integrating Cronos Chain, the first blockchain that interoperates with Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems.
By providing a trustless backup of Cronos onto Arweave, the permanent data storage solution, KYVE enables its vast ecosystem of node runners, developers, data analysts, and more to freely access and implement any of the chain’s historical data in a decentralized and streamlined way, effectively avoiding centralized, costly, or unreliable sources for more secure building and interactions.
Sync to Any Historic Cronos Height or Block
KYVE’s latest tool,KSYNC, empowers node runners to quickly sync to any historical height or block of a chain that has been archived and validated by KYVE. KYVE is thrilled to provide this data integration for Cronos users and network participants to further enhance their data experience.
Pool 1: Block IntegrationProviding free access to trustless Cronos blocks and block results opens the doors to many data use cases. For example, via KYVE’s no-codeData Pipeline, you can easily import the trustless Cronos chain data into your preferred backend for streamlined dashboard or explorer building, chain analysis and monitoring, transaction verification, smart contract interactions, and more. If you’re a more experienced/technical dev, you can check out KYVE’sREST APIto build your own data-sourcing solution from KYVE.
For node runners, this data pool is also important as it can be used with KYVE’s toolKSYNCto sync blocks to join the Cronos network in a reliable, trustless way.
Pool 2: State-Sync IntegrationState-sync, a method of synchronizing with a blockchain’s state through snapshots, is crucial for nodes on any PoS chain. However, it comes with its own challenges, notably in locating specific snapshots needed from a reliable, decentralized source.
KYVE’s KSYNC simplifies this process by applying already verified state-sync snapshots to the node, enabling trustless synchronization with any historic Cronos height in under two minutes, thus enhancing overall user experience and reliability.
Up Next
Start testing out building with trustless Cronos data via KYVE testnet data pools or thestart of the mainnet data pools. Once KYVE catches up to the latest blocks and state of the Cronos Chain, users will be able to sync to any height or block in the chain’s entire history in under two minutes. Thanks to this integration, more and more KYVE data use cases can come to life and motivate a trustless ecosystem. Keep an eye out for upcoming hackathons and bounties!
