What Is Chromia (CHR)

Chromia is a blockchain and a relational database that enables creating and upgrading DApps through smart contracts. Founded by ChromiaWay in 2018, the ecosystem presents innovative solutions to blockchain development. Chromia is a general-purpose platform that can be used for various types of applications. Its goal is to help DApps go mainstream by empowering developers to create flexible and responsive apps for their users.

Chromia's native token, CHR, has several use cases and plays a central role in the ecosystem. The coin is used for paying ecosystem fees and for compensating network participants. CHR also serves as a staking currency and helps manage different incentives on the platform through which users can earn rewards.

Chromia has a total supply of 1 billion CHR tokens. The cryptocurrency was launched in May 2019 through an IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) on KuCoin with the platform's KCS token as the accepted currency. At the time, Chromia price was $0.05 or 0.0455 KCS. 40 million CHR tokens (4% of the supply) were allocated, and the team raised $2 M.

Earlier, in August 2018, Chromia started a private sale and raised $9.7 M. At the time of the private sale, the Chromia price was $0.058. Tokens represented 17.94% of CHR supply. The rest of the tokens were allocated as the following: 38.06% to the ecosystem fund, 25% to the promotional fund, 4.5% to founders, 3% to the auto conversion contract, 3% to advisors, 2.5% to the team, and 2% to the system node.

How Does Chromia (CHR) Work

Chromia was built to allow the development of complex decentralized applications easily and quickly. It can act as an independent Layer 1 blockchain to let developers build various types of DApps or as a Layer 2 blockchain built on top of Ethereum, providing cheaper transactions and faster processing time.

Chromia is built on relational database technology. The architecture optimizes data management, powers fast finding of information, efficient structuring, and the creation of large applications. To enhance the security and productivity of the platform, the Chromia team created Rell, a new programming language based on SQL (Structured Query Language), familiar to most developers. Rell is easy to learn and use as it allows fewer lines of codes than other blockchain languages.

The Chromia platform offers private, public, or hybrid blockchain solutions.

As a public blockchain, it's used for transparent social networks, games, and financial enterprise apps with full logic on-chain.

As a private or hybrid blockchain, it's widely used for enterprise solutions in the fields like Land Registration and E-Currencies due to relational databases and smooth hybrid capabilities.

DApps built on Chromia have their individual sidechains, separate blockchains attached to a parent, and can get simple parent verification. Chromia links various blockchain networks together and creates a network of networks through Postchain, its relational blockchain network, and the use of sidechains.
