WAM Enters Cronos: A New Chapter in Crypto Gaming

This is a long one. Grab your web3 mug, settle in, and let’s talk about the future of crypto gaming and why WAM is stepping into Cronos at exactly the right moment.

Why Cronos, Why Now?

When we launched WAM in 2021 on BNBChain, our mission was bold but simple: to become the platform of choice for crypto gaming. From the very beginning, we believed that gaming was the perfect entry point for bringing millions of users into web3. The years that followed proved us right. By 2022 and 2023, WAM had grown into a global community of more than four million registered users, reaching top positions in the Google Play and Apple App Store charts in markets like the Philippines, Romania, and Indonesia. Along the way, WAM became an international award-winning product, recognised for both its innovation and its ability to deliver accessible crypto gaming to the mainstream.

The broader industry was also showing its hand. Projects like Axie Infinity, StepN, and Mobox were pushing GameFi into the spotlight, proving that players were hungry for new models of play and that blockchain could support these models at scale. For us, this wasn’t a surprise. It was validation. It showed that our focus on crypto gaming was not just timely but foundational.

So why Cronos, and why now? The answer lies in timing, community, and scale. Backed by Crypto.com and already reaching over 100 million global users, Cronos is uniquely positioned to connect retail adoption with onchain opportunity. It offers the infrastructure, the liquidity, and—most importantly—the community. The 212 movement inside Cronos is unlike anything else in web3. It’s grassroots, it’s passionate, and it’s proof that this chain doesn’t just want growth—it wants to redefine what growth looks like. That spirit is exactly what WAM has always stood for, and it’s why we’re so excited to contribute.

BNBChain will remain the canonical home of $WAM, but we’ve always believed in the multi-chain future. With existing footprints on Solana and MultiversX, and now Cronos as our newest expansion, we’re not just following trends—we’re helping set the direction for where crypto gaming goes next.

How We’re Entering Cronos

Our entry into Cronos is designed to do more than move tokens—it’s about embedding gameplay, incentives, and value directly into the process. The $WAM token will be bridged from BNBChain to Cronos through LayerZero, one of the most reliable decentralized bridging technologies available today. Transfers will be secure, transparent, and future-proof.

But with WAM, infrastructure is never just infrastructure. We are gamifying the bridge itself. Every transaction will contribute to community engagement. The top ten daily bridgers will unlock onchain mystery boxes, and the top ten bridgers overall will receive rewards, turning what is normally a technical action into a competitive, engaging experience.

This is how WAM thinks about building: everything is an opportunity to make the process fun, rewarding, and community-first.

Growing $WAM on Cronos

Expansion is only meaningful if it strengthens the token economy. As we grow on Cronos, we are embedding mechanisms that directly create value for $WAM holders:

• Part of the proceeds from the Safe service will transparently go into token buybacks.
• Part of the onchain ad revenue will go into token buybacks—and part will be shared with users. (Details of the distribution mechanisms will be announced soon.)

These feedback loops are designed to ensure that as the ecosystem grows, so does the value captured by the $WAM token and its community.

Building the Tools the Ecosystem Needs

Cronos has the reach, but like every young ecosystem, it also has gaps. One of the most pressing is the absence of a secure multisig solution. Without Gnosis Safe deployments, projects are left exposed, and hesitation about security slows adoption.

WAM will address this head-on. We are launching a paid Safe deployment service on Cronos, creating a trusted security layer that every project can rely on. This service won’t just strengthen Cronos—it will also feed back into the $WAM economy through token buybacks. By filling this gap, WAM becomes more than just a gaming platform. We become a force multiplier for the entire ecosystem.

The New App

The WAM app is evolving. The next version will be fully onchain, and Cronos will be the first chain we integrate. This is not just a step forward—it’s a reinvention of what a crypto gaming app can be.

Every game, every reward, every interaction will be anchored directly onchain, delivering both provably fair gameplay and a seamless user experience. Artificial intelligence will power two critical dimensions of this evolution: securing gameplay loops against abuse and personalizing user journeys so that no two experiences feel the same.

For players, this means an app that feels dynamic, secure, and built for the next era of gaming. For Cronos, it means becoming the launch partner for the most ambitious evolution of WAM to date.

Reimagining Advertising for Web3 Games

If crypto gaming is to scale sustainably, revenue models must evolve. One of the biggest challenges today is advertising. Traditional ad networks are opaque, revenue sharing is unverifiable, and communities are left without transparency.

WAM is building an onchain ad platform to change this. With payments, settlements, and revenue shares happening directly onchain, developers and communities will be able to trust the numbers for the first time. Players will gain control over their ad experiences, and projects will finally have a revenue layer that aligns with the principles of web3.

We are already exploring zkCronos rollups to ensure scalability, making it possible to process ad transactions quickly and efficiently. At launch, the network will power WAM itself. But our vision is bigger: to open this platform to the entire ecosystem so that every game can benefit from transparent, community-driven monetization.

The Roadmap Ahead

To make this vision concrete, here’s how we will proceed step by step:

1. Launch the bridge with gamified incentives, delivering benefits for both the Cronos community and $WAM holders.
2. Establish the $WAM/$CRO pool on VVS Finance, creating the liquidity foundation for growth.
3. Deploy the paid multisig service, with the UI already nearing completion.
4. Release the new WAM app across web, iOS, and Android, with Cronos as the first integrated chain.
5. Roll out v1 of the onchain ad network, starting with WAM and expanding to the entire ecosystem once stability is proven.

Looking Ahead

The past three to four years have been about proving that crypto gaming is real. WAM’s growth, its recognition as an international award-winning product, and its ability to climb to the top of the app charts across multiple regions are living proof of that. The next phase is not about proof—it’s about scale. The market is maturing, the technology is ready, and the appetite is stronger than ever.

WAM’s entry into Cronos is not just another expansion. It is a catalyst for explosive growth, powered by one of the strongest communities in web3. The passion of the 212 movement, the reach of Crypto.com, and the strength of the WAM platform together form a foundation unlike any other.

With more than four million users, a proven product, and a relentless commitment to innovation, WAM is ready to help build the future of crypto gaming on Cronos.

This is where the next chapter begins. And we are just getting started.
