We're pleased to announce that we've completed the onboarding process for the Immunifi Bug Bounty program.

Chronos has provided $100,000 in incentives for any whitehat hacker that identifies serious vulnerabilities in Chronos's smart contracts and brings them to our attention.

We're pleased to announce Chronos's newest launch partner - Redacted Cartel

Redacted offers a suite of services that empower on-chain liquidity, governance, and cash flow for DeFi protocols. As a Chronos launch partner, they’ll be incentivizing liquidity for pxGLP, a liquid wrapped version of GMX's GLP index

1️⃣ Users can provide GLP to receive pxGLP at a 1:1 ratio

2️⃣ This entitles the user to a share of the yield their GLP earns

3️⃣ Users can then pair their pxGLP with ETH to provide liquidity on Chronos

4️⃣ Staked LPs earn CHR emissions!

We're excited to be working with this innovative team as they continue to develop new yield strategies for users on Arbitrum and beyond!

See you there! 🌀

GM Chronians! @everyone

As we prepare for launch, we wanted to go over a few things just to make sure everyone is on the same page.

1️⃣ Chronos will launch at 3PM UTC today. You'll be able to begin claiming airdrops at this time. Liquidity will be seeded at 5PM UTC. You will not be able to buy CHR or add liquidity to pools until this time.

Full timeline of today's events: https://medium.com/@chronosarbitrum/time-for-a-new-era-chronos-launch-details-30b6ad05fd1a

2️⃣ If you are entitled to an airdrop, you will be able to claim that directly from the Chronos UI at launch. There is a 2 week claim window for all airdrops. Any airdrops that have not been claimed by May 11 will be burned forever.

3️⃣ A few of you have asked why there are 65M CHR already minted instead of the 50M initial circulating supply outlined in the docs. The extra 15M were minted from an earlier version of the contract. Unfortunately, though, that contract had a bug that made veCHR claims impossible. Our devs pushed a hotfix for the bug, created a new contract, and minted 50M CHR from there that will be used as outlined in our docs. The extra 15M CHR will not enter circulation, and will be automatically burned at the end of the airdrop claims period in 2 weeks.

4️⃣ Be on the lookout for scams! We've already identified one fake CHR token that's being traded, and there are likely to be more. The real contract address for CHR is 0x15b2fb8f08E4Ac1Ce019EADAe02eE92AeDF06851.

All other relevant contract addresses are listed in our docs here: https://chronos-finance.gitbook.io/product-docs/~/changes/6sW0qaIRsO7Nde3EP91S/additional-information/contract-addresses

5️⃣ Some of you have pointed out that the current price of CHR is more than $5M dollars. While this is technically true, there is only a few dollars of liquidity in the pool at this time. This means that a sell of only a few dollars will crush the CHR price to $0.00! This occurred because our devs added a small amount of liquidity to test the contract, and bots jumped in and bought. When the real liquidity gets added at 5PM UTC we will fix this problem. CHR's starting price, as stated, will be around $0.35 at launch.

6️⃣ Be aware that this launch (like all launches) is likely to be botted. This means that bots will be buying CHR from the market at launch and pumping the price. Volatility will be very high! Make sure your slippage is set at a reasonable level.

Thank you for your continued support! We look forward to a great launch!

Chonos is now LIVE!

We're pleased to announce Chronos's next partner - @GND Protocol

GND Protocol has 2 main products:

1️⃣ gmUSD: the world's first yield-bearing, fully-backed stablecoin

2️⃣ GND FARM: a powerful farming tool to generate amazing yield back to GND investors

➡️ Users can provide CHR/ETH liquidity on Uniswap to receive UNIv3 LPs
➡️These LPs can be staked on the GND Protocol UI to earn GND, the project’s main token
➡️GND can be staked for xGND to earn more GND over time

By incentivizing users to provide CHR liquidity to Uniswap, GND Protocol provides another usecase for CHR, and helps further cement Chronos's place in the @Arbitrum ecosystem!

With 30 launch partners already secured (and more on the way) Chronos is well on its way to becoming the top DEX on @arbitrum!

Be on the lookout for more BIG announcements about what we're building together, and how we plan to add even more value for Chronos users over time!

⌛️ Chronos General Update ⌛️

We want to extend our gratitude to everyone who made Chronos's launch a resounding success! Our team is diligently ironing out the DEX and tackling issues that you've brought to our attention.

If you stumble upon any glitches while navigating the site, don't hesitate to post it in the #feedback channel. Our developers are on standby to address these concerns. Expect a smoother user interface as we roll out subgraphs later this week.

Here's a rundown of the fixes we've already rolled out:

1️⃣ Added dedicated buttons to the swap and liquidity pages to make it easy to add tokens as a percentage of the wallet's balance

2️⃣ Added a dedicated Add/Remove Liquidity button to make LPing more intuitive

3️⃣ Token balancer bug fixed - now automatically calculates appropriate ratios when creating new liquidity pools.

4️⃣ Fixed the ODOS routing so that users get the "We Can't Find a Route for Your Swap" error less frequently. For tokens that do not have liquidity on Chronos, the swap router now automatically searches out the best rate from other DEX pools on the Arbitrum network, effectively making Chronos a DEX aggregator!

5️⃣ Some of you have noted that your staked positions are not displaying on the "Liquidity" tab. This was because we had to create new gauges for several pools. We've added a button that will display the inactive gauges. From there, you should be able to unstake your position and move it to the active pool. As long as this is done before Epoch 1 begins you will not lose any maturity boost.

6️⃣ Added permissionless gauge creation for whitelisted tokens.

7️⃣ We are now displaying all the Vote information such as bribes, your vote percentage and dollar amounts in rewards.

8️⃣ Fixed voter rewards to be sortable by column and fixed a display glitch when changing pages.

We're not stopping there - more improvements are on the way!

We're aware that some of you are yet to claim your airdrops. Our team is working tirelessly to address all the ⁠🎟丨support-tickets 📑 We appreciate your patience and hope to have these issues resolved soon. If you feel you're yet to receive an entitled airdrop, please verify your address against the Master List:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PukG12KjcMR8uzRa8YLYbqyUGlJwEp6HDMwhINDkSM4/edit?usp=sharing

If your address is on the list but you haven't received your airdrop, please open a ticket, include your wallet address, and any other relevant evidence. We'll address it as soon as we can.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we resolve all issues in these early stages! 🙏

Our friends at overnight_fi have kicked off the first bribe in a big way! 🔥

Did you know: USD+ is a yield bearing stablecoin, it will accrue yield while it waits to be claimed by $CHR voters at the end of the epoch 💰

Get ready to vote, the countdown to Epoch 1 is on! ⌛️

🔒 30% Lock Bonus is LIVE! 🔒

Attention, Chronians! To celebrate Epoch 1 we're excited to announce that the 30% Lock Bonus is live. For all users locking CHR, you'll automatically qualify for this bonus. This promotion will run until the 2,000,000 veCHR allocation is exhausted. A dune dashboard will be set up to monitor this as soon as possible, however, rest assured that anyone locking from EPOCH 0 - EPOCH 3 will qualify due to the low supply.

To clarify, the guaranteed way to recieve this bonus is to create a NEW lock of any amount of CHR, for the MAXIMUM duration of 2 years. The additional 30% will be automatically added to the veNFT, you do not have to anything further. You can then merge this new veCHR NFT to an existing one if desired.

This is our way of saying thanks to our early supporters who remain with us as we get the flywheel spinning! ❤️

We're pleased to announce Chronos's newest partner - QiDao Protocol

QiDao are the issuers of the MAI stablecoin, a multichain stable asset backed by users' collateralized debt positions

➡️ QiDao makes it easy for users to take out permissionless loans, using their dApp at https://app.mai.finance/

➡️ By providing a variety of assets as collateral, users earn the right to borrow MAI, a stablecoin backed by entirely by these deposits

Because MAI is overcollateralized, it boasts superior stability and less normalized volatility than similar USD-pegged stables (More info here: https://mai.watch/en/overview). Best of all, MAI has no exposure to the legacy financial system - it's a truly crypto-native stablecoin!

As a Chronos partner, QiDao will be directing incentives to several MAI pairs. We're excited to be working with this veteran team as they continue working to make https://app.mai.finance/ one of the best CDP stablecoin lending protocols in crypto!

Our integration with 1inch Network is now complete!

Users trading on 1Inch will automatically have their trades routed through Chronos's pools when those pools offer the best returns.

This means more fees for $veCHR lockers each epoch!
