With this feature, regular user wallets (Externally Owned Account (EOA) can perform like smart contract wallets.<\/p>\n<p>That helps unlock capabilities previously possible via different accounts. According to the official <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cronos.org\/p\/cronos-evm-mainnet-v15-smarturn-upgrade\">blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>EIP-7702 bridges this gap by letting EOAs act like smart contracts. The assigned contract code remains valid until the account issues a new authorization, which can apply to one chain or to multiple chains simultaneously.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Individuals can now perform different activities without changing account types, including using flexible gas payment methods, personalizing permissions, batching many transactions, and programming wallet behavior.<\/p>\n<p>With EIP-7702, Cronos joins the few EVM-compatible platforms boasting such a level of account abstraction, merging automated control with simplicity.<\/p>\n<p>The functionality will advance DeFi platforms and decentralized applications (dApps) on the Cronos blockchain through efficiency and user-friendliness.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance sees a massive boost<\/h2>\n<p>Furthermore, Cronos upgraded its EVM\u2019s VM to operate on go-Ethereum v1.15.11, aligning with Ethereum\u2019s Prague and Cancun upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>The update aims to make contract execution and transacting cheaper and faster.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it brings comprehensive client improvements and new EVM opcodes on Cronos to enhance efficiency, developer experience, and debugging. The team added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>These opcodes collectively make contract execution more efficient for complex DeFi, gaming contracts that handle multiple operations per transaction, and other computation-heavy applications.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Together, these upgrades make the Cronos EVM runtime faster, lighter, and more developer-centric.<\/p>\n<h2>Enhanced interoperability and tools<\/h2>\n<p>Smarturn also improves infrastructure for cross-chain builders and developers.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a new RPC endpoint enables the fetching of full block data in a single query.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a win for dApp backends, analytics dashboards, and blockchain explorers.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the mempool now allows users to cancel or speed up pending transactions.<\/p>\n<p>That improves responsiveness amid massive network load.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Cronos has adopted IBC v2 through ibc-go v10.1.1 to bolster cross-chain communication.<\/p>\n<h2>CRO price outlook<\/h2>\n<p>The alt hovered at $0.1470 after dropping roughly 1.5% the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Its daily trading volume has collapsed by more than 60%, signaling faded enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-344460\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/CRO-Chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1044\" height=\"435\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, CRO reflects the broader sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin trades below the key $110,000 after shedding nearly 3% of its value over the previous 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Markets lost momentum after Powell\u2019s cautious remarks concerning a rate cut in December.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/cronos-cro-rolls-out-smarturn-upgrade-for-advanced-evm-features\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Cronos EVM v1.5.0 has officially debuted today, October 30.
