View ChartChromia (CHR) is a Layer-1 modular relational blockchain designed to build scalable and customizable decentralized applications. It positions itself as "The Security Data Layer for AI Agents," giving every agent a memory, an identity, and a verifiable record of its actions that anyone can check on-chain. The project operates as a dual-purpose network: a proprietary high-speed, low-cost Layer-1 blockchain, and an EVM-interoperable Layer-2 enhancement layer for Ethereum and other EVM chains. Chromia has been live on mainnet since July 2024. Its native token, CHR, launched in May 2019 and currently has a total supply of approximately 978.03 million tokens following a burn of about 22 million CHR in May 2020.
Chromia was co-founded by Henrik Hjelte, Alex Mizrahi, and Or Perelman, each bringing deep experience from the early days of blockchain technology. Henrik Hjelte serves as CEO, Alex Mizrahi as CTO, and Or Perelman as COO. The project was founded in 2018, though it has existed as a project since 2013. The team is headquartered in Norrmalm, Stockholms Lan, Sweden. Henrik Hjelte spoke at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2024 on the DWF Labs Stage in a session titled "The Future of Chromia," highlighting the project's continued public presence in the blockchain industry.
Chromia is built on a unique relational blockchain architecture that allows it to support complex, data-intensive applications that would be difficult or expensive to run on traditional blockchains. The platform uses a modular design, allowing developers to integrate optional components known as Extensions. These extensions can provide a variety of on-chain features such as vectorized data, AI inference, and oracles. The Mimir Mainnet Upgrade, released in March 2025, included the Vector Database Extension for on-chain management of vectorized data essential for AI applications, and the AI Inference Extension, which aims to support hosting LLMs directly on network nodes, reducing reliance on centralized services. Chromia's ongoing integration with LangChain, a leading AI agent framework, further expands support for decentralized, intelligent applications.
Chromia distinguishes itself through its relational blockchain architecture and modular design, which enable scalable and developer-friendly environments for cost-effective and performant AI solutions. The platform is positioned as an ideal foundation for AI development due to its Vector Database Extension and AI Inference Extension introduced in the Mimir Mainnet Upgrade. Chromia also serves as an interoperable enhancement layer for Ethereum and other EVM chains, allowing EVM-based projects to build companion dApps or store more complex and structured metadata. Its flagship product, Atbash, is the control layer for AI agents, providing a security layer that checks every action against user-defined rules, writes every decision to the chain, verifies agent identities, and blocks fake identities and prompt injections. Atbash has been live on mainnet since April 2026.
CHR is the native token of the Chromia network. It pays for network resources, compensates providers, and secures the chain through staking. CHR pays fees and stakes for security. The Chromia platform supports a range of applications including My Neighbor Alice, a multiplayer builder and farming game; Mines of Dalarnia, an action-adventure game; EVAL Engine, an AI Agent Evaluation Plugin; Fanzeal, a digital collectible and fan engagement platform for sports and E-sports clubs; and ColorPool, a DeFi platform offering a gas-free decentralized exchange, liquidity pools, staking, and integrated mini-games. Payments settle on Chromia with fees in CHR, and the network now runs over 60 agents.
The Chromia ecosystem continues to expand with a focus on AI, gaming, and decentralized infrastructure. The flagship product Atbash provides a control layer for AI agents with features including action checking, on-chain record keeping, identity verification, and prompt injection blocking. Atbash runs on Chromia with records stored as real data and anchored to Ethereum. Ecosystem metrics displayed on chromia.com include uptime powered by Atbash, cumulative transactions across all chains, monthly active users, and unique accounts across the ecosystem. Chromia has also undergone a brand refresh with a new visual identity. Privacy work started on Chromia in July 2026, reflecting ongoing development efforts to enhance secure and private AI agents on the platform.
Chromia does not use traditional mining. Instead, CHR secures the chain through staking. The network operates on a PoW + PoS hybrid consensus mechanism. Token holders can stake CHR to participate in network security and earn rewards. CHR is used to pay for network resources and compensate providers. Staking CHR helps secure the chain while allowing participants to contribute to the network's integrity and operation. The staking mechanism is integral to Chromia's dual-layer architecture, supporting both the Layer-1 blockchain and the EVM-interoperable enhancement layer.
Keeping your CHR tokens safe requires attention to security best practices. Use reputable wallets that support CHR and consider hardware wallets for long-term storage. Enable two-factor authentication on any exchange accounts you use. Be cautious of phishing attempts and never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone. Since crypto is highly volatile and prices can move sharply in either direction, only invest what you can afford to lose. CHR prices respond to overall crypto market sentiment, trading volume and liquidity, macroeconomic conditions, regulatory news, and supply dynamics such as issuance schedules. Stay informed about these factors to make educated decisions about your holdings.
CHR is listed on multiple trading venues and can be purchased through various platforms. For a secure and liquid trading experience, using a major regulated platform like BTCC is recommended.
