About
Chromia (CHR)

Chromia (CHR) is a relational blockchain platform designed to enable a new generation of decentralized applications (dApps) by addressing the scalability, data handling, and developer experience challenges prevalent in earlier blockchain infrastructures. Unlike traditional smart contract platforms that use a virtual machine, Chromia integrates the security of a blockchain with the flexibility and efficiency of a relational database. This unique architecture, built on the Postchain framework, allows for more complex data structures and queries to be managed directly on-chain, making it a highly suitable Web3 infrastructure for data-intensive applications like enterprise systems, social media, and advanced gaming.

The core of Chromia's innovation lies in its custom programming language, Rell, which is designed to be highly secure and easy for developers familiar with SQL to learn. This focus on a developer-friendly environment aims to accelerate the creation of sophisticated dApps. The network operates on a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanism, with dApps running on their own dedicated sidechains, ensuring high throughput and low latency. The native utility token, CHR, is central to the ecosystem's tokenomics. It is used by dApps to pay for hosting fees, staked by node providers to guarantee security, and acts as a standard currency within the Chromia digital asset economy.
