Cronos-based crypto lending platform CroLend has shut down its social media platforms and reset the total value of locked assets (TVL).
The decentralized smart contracts platform, Cronos, is working hard to grow and expand its ecosystem. In the Cronos network, especially DeFi and crypto lending platforms stand out. The day-to-day adoption of the crypto industry and the increase in the number of users are also attracting the attention of projects. Projects that are generally marketed through social media channels can reach millions of dollars in investments. One of these projects, CroLend, came to the fore with the DeFi platform it offered on the Cronos network. However, the project made moves that made its users nervous.
