Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cronos Labs have entered into a strategic partnership to support the growth of Web3 startups and drive blockchain technology adoption across various industries. AWS will provide cloud computing resources and expertise, while Cronos Labs will offer its knowledge in blockchain development. The collaboration will particularly focus on the areas of decentralized finance (DeFi), GameFi, SocialFi, and Infrastructure.

Following the announcement, the price of CRO, Cronos ecosystem’s native token, experienced a 15% increase within a day, with trading volumes also rising by over 500%. Amazon has previously collaborated with other blockchain-related entities, such as Ava Labs, Chainlink, and VeChainThor. The crypto community is also anticipating the rumored launch of the Amazon NFT Marketplace.

The partnership will involve AWS helping to scale and grow projects in the Cronos Accelerator Program, a startup accelerator that specializes in DeFi and blockchain games. The program, launched in June 2022, is backed by $100 million from Cronos Labs Ecosystem Fund to support ongoing ecosystem development. Each year, the program trains and links mentors with 3-4 cohorts of 10 startups each.

The Cronos Accelerator Program’s participants will benefit from the scalability, security, and flexibility of AWS’s cloud infrastructure, allowing for quick and efficient development and deployment of blockchain-based applications. The collaboration will also allow startups to explore innovation at the intersection of blockchain and a range of machine learning and AI services offered by AWS. Cronos Labs will provide technical, commercial, funding, and guidance support to the startups.
