Trading under CHR, Chromia is a blockchain platform that facilitates the making of decentralized applications. The platform is made to overcome the shortcomings of other existing platforms. According to the whitepaper, the platform enables decentralized applications of the latest generation to work beyond what is currently possible to achieve with current decentralized applications. Chromia is a rebranding of Chromopolis. The whitepaper claims that other platforms allow decentralized applications to be made on their blockchain in just theory only. When a developer practically develops an app on a blockchain network, they face many problems and hindrances while making it. Such problems include bad user experience, high fees to make such apps, developers’ experience while making the app, poor security, and more. Such backdrops prevent many decentralized applications from running on the mainstream.
Thus, to address the above issues that developers and users face, Chromia came into the picture and mentioned its priorities as:
The platform has several decentralized applications built on it. Chromia is used for developing games like My Neighbor Alice on the blockchain, in which players can trade and own virtual islands, collect and build items, and meet new people. Also, the Chromia platform helps enterprises. One such app for enterprises is LAC PropertyChain, which helps facilitate property transactions. Another such app on the platform is Hedget, a decentralized finance application that helps secure your investment from unexpected downfall in price. Moreover, the platform works on the Ethereum blockchain. Also, the Chromia platform uses a proof-of-work consensus mechanism.
The CHR token is the native cryptocurrency of the Chromia platform. The token is designed to empower the Chromia platform. The token helps maintain the relationship between developers, users, and investors. CHR is an ERC20 token, though the website claims that the token will be shifted to the native blockchain as soon as it is launched.
There are various uses of the CHR token. The token is used as a platform currency. CHR is a standard token of the platform, and various decentralized applications can collect their usage fee in CHR tokens. Further, various decentralized applications on the platform pay an amount of CHR to the nodes to host their hardware. Moreover, the token can be used for staking purposes as well.
