CARTEL
In the middle of Cronos Labs' strategy page is a sentence that matters to every builder and user on Cronos: "All other Cronos Labs projects will be sunset over the coming months. Look to each project directly for its own communications."
Cronos Labs is the team that builds and supports the Cronos network. So which projects are affected? Cronos Labs has not published a list. We went through its official pages to separate what is confirmed from what is not, without guessing. All checks were made on November 14, 2026.
What Cronos Labs is keeping
The strategy page is clear about what stays: "Cronos Labs builds Ult, and supports the ongoing development of Cronos Launch and VVS Finance." It also lists "Maintain and improve Cronos Network" among its commitments, with the builder tools it keeps running, such as the network page at cronos.com/network, the documentation and the Cronos Explorer.
- Ult: its trading app for crypto, stock perps and sports predictions, launched on September 17, 2026.
- Cronos Launch: the official token launchpad, opened on September 15, 2026. See Cronos Launch: The Official Cronos Launchpad Explained.
- VVS Finance: the main DEX on Cronos, where Ult's spot orders are routed today.
In the page's own words: "This is where 100% of Cronos Labs' development goes from here."
Confirmed: Cronos zkEVM shuts down on June 3, 2027
This is the only shutdown with an official announcement and a date. On June 3, 2026, Cronos published "Sunsetting the Cronos zkEVM Alpha in 2027". The key points:
- The Cronos zkEVM Alpha network stays operational until June 3, 2027 at 3:00 AM UTC, then shuts down permanently.
- Cronos gave two reasons: resources needed for the Cronos App (now Ult), and an ecosystem that "did not achieve the critical mass of developer activity, TVL, or user adoption".
- Apps on zkEVM are expected to publish their own wind-down instructions.
- Withdrawals go through the official zkEVM bridge, and need zkCRO for gas.
The announcement came three months before the new strategy. If you still have funds on zkEVM, follow our guide Cronos zkEVM Alpha Shuts Down on June 3, 2027: How to Withdraw.
Changing: Onchain Wallet becomes Ult
The Crypto.com Onchain Wallet was rebuilt into Ult. According to the Ult launch post, existing users keep their wallet and balances, can switch between Onchain Wallet mode and Ult, and "will receive advance notice before any full transition to Ult". No date for that transition has been announced.
Still online, with no notice
Several tools built or promoted by Cronos Labs were still documented, without any sunset notice, on November 14:
- The Cronos x402 Facilitator, a payment service for AI agents and APIs. Its documentation still describes it as "production-ready".
- The Crypto.com AI Agent SDK, a toolkit for AI-driven blockchain interactions, still has its own page in the Cronos documentation.
- The Cronos Bridge at bridge.cronos.com is linked from the Cronos homepage as the way to deposit to the network.
- The Cronos Explorer at explorer.cronos.com is named in the documentation as the reference explorer, and the strategy page lists it among the builder tools.
The bridge and the explorer are network infrastructure, which Cronos Labs says it keeps maintaining. For the x402 Facilitator and the AI Agent SDK, we found no statement either way: they are neither confirmed nor listed as closing.
What we could not find
- A list of the projects covered by "all other Cronos Labs projects".
- A timeline beyond "the coming months", except for zkEVM.
- Any statement about Cronos Labs' incubation program. Several Cronos protocols, including Fulcrom and Ferro, describe themselves in their documentation as part of it. Being incubated does not make them Cronos Labs projects, and we found nothing saying they are covered by the sunset.
What to do if you use a Cronos Labs tool
- On zkEVM: withdraw well before June 3, 2027. Apps may close their front ends earlier.
- Building on the x402 Facilitator or the AI Agent SDK: follow official Cronos channels, since their future has not been stated.
- Using Onchain Wallet: nothing to do yet, but keep your recovery details safe ahead of any transition.
- Beware of "migration" scams. Shutdowns attract fake support accounts and fake migration sites. Nobody legitimate will ask for your recovery phrase. Use only links from cronos.com and its official documentation, and revoke old approvals with How to Revoke Token and NFT Approvals on Cronos.
Why it matters
Cronos Labs is concentrating its work on one consumer app and one launchpad, with their revenue going to buy and burn CRO, a rule CRO holders approved in October 2026 (see CRO Burns: 228 Million From the Community Pool, Then Monthly Buybacks). That focus may help those products. It also means fewer official tools for builders, and less certainty for anyone who relies on a Cronos Labs product that is not named among the ones it keeps. Until Cronos Labs publishes a list, the only way to know is to watch each project's own announcements, as the strategy page itself suggests.
