The Relational blockchain platform that makes sense
Chromia is a blockchain platform, making it easy for people to build decentralized apps in the real world, for a better world.
Deliver Faster
Code seven to ten times faster.
Unique Architecture
Chromia is both a blockchain and a relational database.
Plays well with Ethereum
Chromia is an independent Layer One, or a Layer Two to ship fast things faster.
Relational blockchain geared for the real world
A blockchain is a simple list of transactions. Finding anything requires you to search everything from start to end. A relational database is the tech that powers your social network, your bank, all your non-trivial applications. Our technical solution is for the real world.
Relational Databases
The unsung heroes of the web
You might not think about them much, but databases power your every day. Your bank. Your social network. Your web.
Relational databases are everywhere. Used by 100% of all enterprises. For several decades.
Power to developers
Used in millions of applications by millions of developers. Based on a mathematical foundation and decades of optimization, this technology makes it very easy to manage data. It is also very powerful meaning even complex applications can be built.
Blockchain
— is basic
Basically fantastic, but also basic. We love blockchain, but it can be better. Finding information fast, structuring it in a good way, building large applications. A ledger is the wrong tool for this. Blockchain is about managing data, how to manage data best is already a solved issue.
How to make a Relational Blockchain
1. Take a database that is used in production for over 10 years.
2. Add a light software layer that handles voting and consensus.
3. Put a chain of transactions, a blockchain, inside the database.
Together 1, 2 and 3 is a Node. Distribute Nodes among several independent participants.
Wiring it together
A request to write data goes to one of the nodes, who sends it to the other nodes. All independent nodes will inspect the request: Is it signed? Does it follow the rules we have agreed to, given the current data I see in my local database? If so, the node will vote Yes. Once the nodes are in agreement, the actual writing is done, and it is also logged in the blockchain.
combined together you get Relational blockchain
You now have a database that is also a blockchain. Now you can enjoy the user-friendliness, power, and logic of a proper database when you implement a bright future.
Plays well with ethereum
Chromia can be a Layer Two to Ethereum, making use of cheaper and faster development time as well as cheaper and faster transactions. This is how Hedget creates a marketplace for financial options, DeFi made faster playing well with Ethereum. Read below on why Relational Blockchain makes development faster.
Enterprise blockchain built on enterprise technology
Chromia is built on relational database technology, meaning decades of real world enterprise technology used in all industries. Chromia can be used as a private, public or hybrid blockchain.
As an enterprise private or hybrid blockchain.
The Chromia Platform originated from enterprise use-cases, pioneering work done in Land Registration and E-Currencies. The unique roots in relational databases and smooth hybrid capabilities is fantastic news for enterprises.
As an independent public blockchain.
Fast and easy development, intuitive for users. This is how decentralized social networks and games can have full logic on-chain, but also how new financial applications and transparent enterprise applications can be built.
the CHR token
Chroma (CHR) is the native token designed to empower the Chromia platform and foster a mutually beneficial relationship between developers, users, and investors.
The CHR token’s main purposes
* Act as platform currency
* Payment of hosting fees
* Ecosystem staking
* System-wide purposes
