Development Update

Roadmap and statement from Alex Mizrahi, CTO - https://chromia.com/roadmap/

The ‘TLDR’ of Alex’s statement is: “we have an overall plan, but it is not possible or practical to give an exact order or exact completion dates because the development process is unpredictable.”

We are concurrently finishing up three key mainnet components: Dapp containers, Interchain Message Facility (ICMF) and Ethereum L2 Subsystem.

Dapp Containers

A framework for resource provision on provider nodes, allowing dapps on Chromia to run in a decentralized fashion and removing reliance on services such as AWS.

ICMF

Interchain Messaging Facility allows chains and dapps across Chromia’s network to seamlessly communicate and share assets.

Ethereum L2 Subsystem

The L2 subsystem will establish a base set of features that will allow the Chromia network to interact with Ethereum and other EVM enabled blockchains

Industry Validator Addition

This month, we also announced iAngels as a mainnet validator partner. Keep an eye out for further validator partners to be announced as Q1 progresses.
