CROSS cross

CROSS is a blockchain gaming protocol and utility token project created to give players ownership of in-game assets. Its whitepaper describes a Game Token Protocol through which games can issue fungible tokens and NFTs, allowing players to hold, transfer, and trade assets outside a game operator's centralized servers. The project targets a more player-centric economy in which value created through gameplay can be shared by players and developers.

CROSS is designed as an Ethereum-compatible Layer 1/sidechain-oriented network focused on GameFi. The protocol's stated goals are scalable, lower-cost transactions, interoperability of game assets, and developer-friendly deployment using familiar Ethereum tooling and Solidity smart contracts. It also describes SDKs, APIs, and token templates intended to reduce the technical burden of integrating blockchain features into games.

The current official OGF site presents a rebrand/evolution of the project as ONE and describes ONEchain as the gaming ecosystem's chain, with the native token referred to as ONE. Historical market listings and the archived CROSS whitepaper still identify the asset as CROSS, so readers should verify the token name and supported network before transacting.

Traditional games generally keep currencies, items, and characters in centralized databases controlled by the operator. Players may spend substantial time or money acquiring those assets but can lose access if an account is banned or a game closes, and assets usually cannot be transferred to another title or traded in open markets.

The whitepaper also identifies high integration costs for developers: smart-contract engineering, gas management, security, wallet compatibility, and differing standards across chains all require specialist skills. CROSS attempts to address these issues with standardized token formats, developer tools, a gaming-focused execution environment, bridges, and UX that can abstract wallet and gas complexity.

Game assets can be represented as fungible tokens or NFTs held in a player's wallet rather than solely in a game server. CROSS's proposed framework supports common Ethereum/BSC-compatible formats including BEP-20, BEP-721, and BEP-1155, and its unified asset model is intended to support trading, rentals, auctions, upgrades, combinations, and cross-game utility where participating developers choose to implement those features.

The CROSS token is used for network/gas fees, access to Web3 games and dApps, developer deployment and management of smart contracts or game-specific tokens, player incentives, and selected holder or staking opportunities. The whitepaper says the token can also facilitate transfers between CROSS and BNB Smart Chain through a checkpoint-based bridge.

The technical design described in the whitepaper combines an EVM-compatible chain with a QBFT (Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus model, checkpoint synchronization to BSC, and dynamic gas-fee delegation. Gas delegation is intended to let games sponsor player transactions or apply tailored fees to frequent microtransactions. The document claims throughput above 5,000 transactions per second and near-instant finality as design targets; these are project claims, not an independent performance measurement.

The archived token paper states a fixed total supply of 1 billion CROSS with no additional issuance. CoinMarketCap currently reports approximately 985.22 million total/max supply and about 487.87 million circulating, while the OGF site now discusses ONE and ONEchain. This discrepancy reflects evolving project/token presentation and data-provider timing; use the contract and current official announcements for operational decisions.
