Chromia is a blockchain platform that aims to solve the scalability problem for decentralized applications (dApps).
The platform consists of a network of nodes forming a blockchain, each node using its own relational database.
The Chroma token (CHR) is used as block rewards and to pay for transaction fees.
It raised 11.70MM USD in private and public token sales conducted from August 2018 to May 2019.
1. What is Chromia (CHR)?
Chromia is a blockchain platform that aims to solve the scalability problem for dApps. The platform consists of a network of relational blockchains. dApps can be written in a way that is familiar to developers all over the world, whether they work on large enterprise applications, games, or smaller projects.
Similar to sharding in Ethereum, each blockchain within Chromia is associated with a set of validator nodes, which is a subset of all nodes belonging to Chromia. This subset of nodes runs a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus algorithm. The network consensus is further strengthened by anchoring Chromia's transaction history to Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum - once a block is anchored, it will be considered final.
CHR is Chromia's native utility token. Users can use CHR tokens within dApps and the dApps in turn pay transaction fees to block producers using the CHR token. Chromia allows dApps to issue CHR-backed tokens, while investors of dApp projects can be compensated in CHR through a profit-sharing contract. For developers, Chromia offers the opportunity to derive income from their dApps, with popular dApps generating more income demand for tokens owned by the developer.
Current implementations of dApps on Chromia involves finance, gaming, real estate, and healthcare. In the future, Chromia will also focus on dApps involving supply chain, enterprise services, and IoT.
