Dear Chromia Community,
Chromia MVP Mainnet is live! We’d like to take this opportunity to discuss the road so far, where we’re at, and the road ahead.
The Road So Far
Chromia’s journey began in 2019 with the goal of bringing the power of relational blockchain to a public dapp platform. Along the way, we incorporated several innovative features including containerized resources, a modular framework, and gas-free transactions. We’ve expanded the scope of the project to include the ability to share assets and data with EVM chains through our Ethereum Interoperability Framework. We’ve also spent time and resources planting the seeds of an ecosystem, which will make Chromia not only a great platform, but a thriving network that includes projects with formidable communities in their own right.
The Ecosystem
If you’ve been following Chromia, you already know about our well-developed gaming ecosystem. Established projects like My Neighbor Alice and DAR Open Network, as well as emerging projects such as Chain of Alliance and Cloudborn, are part of this vibrant network. Additionally, we have utility projects like Xoob that are working to create crossover opportunities while providing new games with a platform to build their communities by plugging into the existing ecosystem.
Another contributor to our ecosystem is Fanzeal, the digital collectibles solution for sports. Their collaboration with VfB Stuttgart, launched last year on Chromia’s Appnet, has been a success, and Fanzeal continues to attract new partners from around the sports world. We look forward to their future contributions to our mainnet ecosystem.
Our Developer Experience Team has done an admirable job developing our official documentation and tools, such as the Rell VS Code Extension. The time and effort invested in these endeavors will pay off by making development on Chromia easier and encouraging growth.
We want our community to know that we have no intention of slowing down. We are already working on the next steps to expand Chromia’s ecosystem across several verticals, bringing even more partners and activity to the network. With the foundation now set, the ecosystem is ready to grow. Expect announcements throughout the rest of this year and into 2025.
MVP Mainnet Functionality
Our Mainnet release has been deployed across 16 system providers and 7 dapp providers, running one system cluster and one dapp cluster. The network will add more dapp clusters dynamically as demand increases.
As of today, anyone can deploy a dapp using our Native Fees system, which is accessible through the staking page. A step-by-step guide outlining this process is available in our Official Documentation.
Mainnet has been integrated into our core utilities, the Chromia Vault wallet, and our official block explorer, Chromia Explorer. Mainnet is now available as a selectable network in the dropdown menus of both tools.
What’s Next?
As we look ahead, we're excited for the next stages of Chromia’s development. In Q3, we will be rolling out Native Staking, which will give users the option of staking native CHR, while bringing the delegation system onto Chromia and enabling new features like auto reward claiming and gas free interactions.
As previously mentioned, we are working to integrate bridge withdrawals with Chromia Vault, streamlining the end to end bridging process. We’re also focused on delivering enhancements to our bridge infrastructure, which will improve functionality and lay the groundwork for future TVL growth.
Alongside these initiatives, we will be unveiling core upgrades and features later in Q3 that further expand the capabilities of our network. These advancements are designed to strengthen Chromia's position as an innovative Web3 platform and support the continued evolution of our ecosystem.
A Shout Out to the Community
We wouldn't be where we are today without the support and enthusiasm of our community. Your feedback, engagement, and passion have been instrumental in shaping our journey. Whether you're a developer building innovative dapps, a user testing the functionalities of our platform, or a supporter spreading the word, your contributions have been invaluable.
As we move forward, we invite you to stay engaged and excited about what's to come. Your insights and ideas propel us forward as we strive to make Chromia a leading platform for decentralized applications and other Web3 solutions.
Here’s to our community, and to the bright future ahead! 🥂
Sincerely,
The Chromia Team
