What is Chromia (CHR)?

Chromia is a blockchain platform that supports the deployment of decentralized applications using smart contracts . Some of the features that make Chromia unique are the following:

It uses a relational blockchain architecture, which means that each node in the network has its own relational database that can store and query data efficiently. This allows for faster transactions, lower fees, and more scalability than traditional blockchains. Unlike other blockchains that use a global state, Chromia uses a local state for each DApp, which reduces the complexity and overhead of consensus.

It is an open-source development landscape that enables anyone to create DApps for various use cases, such as gaming, finance, social media, and others. Developers can use familiar languages like SQL and JavaScript to code their DApps on Chromia. They can also leverage Chromia’s built-in features such as authentication, encryption, indexing, querying, etc., without having to write complex logic or rely on third-party services.

It can be used as a public, private, or hybrid model blockchain, depending on the needs of the users and developers. This gives more flexibility and control over the data and governance of the DApps. Users can choose who can access their data and how it is validated. Developers can also customize their fee structures and reward mechanisms for their DApps.

It supports massive scalability by allowing each DApp to have its own blockchain that runs on a subset of nodes in the network. This reduces the load and complexity of consensus and enables parallel processing of transactions. Chromia can also create hierarchically interconnected blockchains that can share data without compromising security or performance. Chromia can handle up to 100,000 cell updates per second.
