A relational chain.
A real database inside.
We started with Postchain in 2016 and went live on public mainnet in July 2024. Chromia is built by a team that thought blockchains should work more like the databases the rest of the web already runs on.
Where it all began.
ChromaWay is founded
The company sets out to build practical blockchain applications.
Bridging database and blockchain
In 2016, ChromaWay launches Postchain. It runs a relational database under the rules of a blockchain.
Chromia is born
Chromia is founded to bring relational blockchain technology to a public network.
Public testnet
Chromia launches a public testnet so developers can deploy and test relational dapps.
Mainnet launch
Chromia mainnet ships in July 2024 with independent providers and L1 anchoring.
What we are building.
We want a decentralized web that developers can actually build on. That means giving them the tools to ship real applications without fighting the chain at every step.
The relational approach is what makes that possible. Apps get the scale and the structured data they need, and the network keeps its decentralization and its security.
When building gets easier, more useful things get built. That is the ecosystem we are after, full of dapps people return to because they do real work.
People behind Chromia.
