Cryptocurrency prices have exploded in the past year or so and have increasingly gained mass attention, driven by the oldest and largest cryptocurrency, by market cap, Bitcoin.
It has also caused newer digital currencies to enter the market to address some concerns of the more popular existing cryptocurrencies. One such altcoin to take notice of is Chromia.
Chromia was launched in May 2019 and is a decentralised and open source blockchain protocol which is focused on enabling new decentralised applications (DApps) to scale. Chromia can be used to build all types of DApps across finance, gaming, real estate and other options across decentralised finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFT).
How does Chromia differ from other cryptos?
It is built on the Ethereum network and its native token is CHR. While Ethereum has the functionality to allow any types of apps to be implemented using its platform, the Chromia protocol was created in order to address the existing challenges of high fees, lower levels of security and other issues faced by developers on the Ethereum blockchain.
Some of Chromia’s key features includes resolving the scalability challenge, by allowing DApps built on its protocol to extend to millions of users, better security, improved user experience and more.
