Connecting with MetaMask
First, you will need to connect your MetaMask wallet to the Cronos network:
Click the "My Account" button in the top right corner. Then select "Networks" in the settings menu.
Click "Add Network":
Name: Cronos
New RPC URL:
https://evm.cronos.org

command with cronosd.

, we can use cronosd debug addr

at the beginning when using the Ethereum HEX address shown as above. For example: Address (hex): 2F743F55AC49A446484988505244941DEDA1B60A
implies that 0x2F743F55AC49A446484988505244941DEDA1B60A
will be the address in Ethereum.
