The Cirrus Token serves as the fuel for the Stratis Smart Contract Sidechain. It acts as gas on the sidechain to facilitate the interaction of smart contracts. The CRS token is pegged to the Stratis Mainchain (STRAX). CRS tokens can only be issued by locking STRAX tokens through a cross-chain transfer, which ensures a trustless and decentralized process. This exchange is autonomously processed. For more information, please visit: https://www.stratisplatform.com/2021/11/19/explaining-the-cirrus-token/
