Meet #Chromia: Relational Blockchain Magic Solving Ethereum’s (EVMs) Biggest Problems!!

Hello Chromians!

A few days ago, i made a post about "Smart money vs FOMO money" where I kept emphasizing the "Relational Blockchain Magic"

But I didn't actually explain what it is or how it solves the Biggest Problems of EVM Chains right?

I know many of you are more interested into Price Action Magic than Relational Blockchain Magic but it's time to understand the true potential of utility coins rather than just jumping into meme tokens that shine only in the short term...

So I came up with this educational post to explain Chromia's Relational Blockchain in Simple terms (as much as possible) to make it more understandable with fun filled 😁

Let's Dive into Chromia Town Now 🚀

What is Chromia itself at a High level?

Chromia is a Relational Blockchain that enables fully scalable, high performance and highly customizable dApps by fixing the bottlenecks of traditional EVM blockchains like Ethereum (ETH) or Binance Smart Chain (BSC) etc..

These issues include:
👉 Limited on-chain storage
👉 Inefficient data querying etc..

Yeah, lot of buzz words right? i know 😄

Don't worry i will break Relational Blockchain thing into smaller chunks over the rest of the post..

What is Relational Blockchain and How it Solves EVM's Storage issue? 💡

Chromia has a unique relational architecture that natively integrates a relational database (i.e PostgreSQL) with blockchain technology through Postchain Framework

And Traditional EVM blockchains (like ETH or BSC) that only store metadata or references to data on-chain and offloading real actual data to off-chain solutions like IPFS due to their bottlenecks in design..

But Chromia stores full complex large data on-chain while also natively supports rich querying capabilities without the need for third-party off-chain tools because Chromia uses real PostgreSQL Database Under the hood..

Since it combines the power of Relational database with the security of Blockchain, its called Relational Blockchain! Now makes sense, right? 😎

✨ Fun Fact: Do you know?
You might be already aware of NFTs right and one of the main components of NFT is Actual Image itself..

In EVM, Actual Image itself is stored on off-chain solution like IPFS.. Wow great dodger with regard to storage 😂

Limited on-chain storage issue and Chromia Solution💡

Yeah i said, NFTs are stored on off-chain solutions like IPFS not on EVM Chains.

But why is that? because there is no traditional database under the hood to handle it efficiently since it uses something called Merkle Patricia Trie (MPT) data structure for storing data/states. It essentially a Simple Key Value store hence it can only handle small pieces of data but not ideal for storing large or complex data directly due to costs and network scalability etc..

But have you ever heard, anyone say that storing images in SQL Databases is a bottleneck or not possible..

Never right? Because SQL Databases are the life saver for Web2 world for storing the data like Images, Audio, Gifs or even Videos Over the decades in a Structured Efficient Format..

So now you got the idea right? Since Chromia uses real PostgreSQL Database under the hood so its a no brainer to understand how easy for Chromia to store NFT images, Audios, Videos etc.. fully on-chain..

Inefficient data querying and Chromia Solution💡

As i already said, EVM uses Merkle Patricia Trie which is a Key Value Data Storage Model. hence transactions are not structured in a meaningful manner instead they are bundled together in a blocks of chain linearly starting from genesis block..

To understand this better, Imagine you bought a book with 1000 pages and if you want to look for specific topic what you will do? Look for index of the book right..

What if i tell there is no index at all in the book so you have to scan entire book of 1000 pages to find your topic. That's the case in EVM chains. The Pages are actual Blocks here and Book is the Blockchain Ledger itself..

In the same way if you want to find all the transactions of a single user then you have to scan through block by block of chain because transactions are scattered over the network in various blocks. So how ideal it is to manually go through block by block so they had to rely on third party indexing solutions like The Graph because by design EVM chains don't have one builtin..

But as i already said Chromia uses real traditional PostgreSQL Database as a Data Storage so filtering, sorting, or searching everything comes builtin by design so they don't need to rely on third party solutions at all..

Relational Blockchain Magic

Ufff 🤓 Now we understood the two of the most important issues EVM chain faces due to their problem in design.. Also understood both big problems are solved by single solution - Relational Database right..

That's the power of Relational Blockchain Magic 🚀

Ending Notes

Yeah we've finally reached the end of this detailed Educational post about Chromia's Relational Blockchain Magic!! i tried my best to make it more understandable for a broader audience with fun-filled approach using examples without too much technical jargons...

And my coverage is solely focused on Relational Blockchain by comparing the two of the EVM bottlenecks with Chromia's Solution.. But i initially thought about adding Mutlichain Architecture, Gas Free solution too in this post but this post grown like a chain of blocks with lot of lines 😄 hence i restricted the coverage for this post.. So Chromia Magic is not over yet!!

if you want more post or technical explanation about anything on Chromia like this feel free to Like, Comment or directly DM me.. I will try my best...

@victormustar @bcherny It's basically the same idea as DeepSeek's Harness Creator mode 😅 where everything is a plugin...

So you can customize your harness UI however you want, just with prompts...

@arsen_bt Solana 👀

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@RozenMD That's why I built my own AI harness with a sub-agent on/off switch 😅

They can't use sub-agents even if they wanted to. I'll enable them only when necessary 😎

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@MrAhmadAwais Yeah, they’ve been very quiet lately and it doesn’t even seem like they’re going to catch up in the AI race anytime soon...

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@TencentHunyuan Guys pls get some rest…

Models have been raining in the town the last few days 😭

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@thegenioo Seems like it’s more of a harness retry issue rather than a provider itself...

It kept stopping in the middle with almost every provider I tried..

Today I tried my own self-built harness with OpenRouter, and it’s been running for 3 hours now without stopping once...

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@thdxr It keeps stopping before finishing tasks at random intervals, so it can't go any higher unless this gets fixed 😕

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@Kritt_AI Just add OpenCode (or Kilo Code) as a harness..

All four providers in the poll are built into it, so you don't need to add each provider individually.

Only add a dedicated provider if there's strong demand.

Otherwise, OpenCode/Kilo should be enough for broader AI coverage...

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@Kritt_AI @__Shafeeq0x Great i thought I missed this one 🥹🫡

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@bridgemindai Yeah "small fraction of tasks fall back" to Fable 5 (when you choose Fable 5) that's probably what they meant 😁

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@zahumennov All the best, Dmytro🤘

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@bridgebench @bridgemindai They even nerfed Sonnet 5 for cybersecurity, lol and we're already at the point where US frontier models are effectively under a soft ban for the general public...

So I don't think they're going to lift the ban on the original Fable 5 anytime soon, or at least not this time...

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@Kalshi Entry level jobs in the AI era?

Is that even allowed? Lol 😂

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@0xSero Yeah, GLM 5.2, Kimi 2.7, and Minimax M3 are the top three open source models I've used so far...

For reasoning, I'd actually put Minimax M3 at number one. It's surprisingly good, especially considering how small the model is...

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@VadimStrizheus Better than GLM 5.1 and multiple iterations giving better results..

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@VittoStack Hi, can I get one too? 🫡

I already commented on your original X post for the invite, but I haven't gotten one yet...

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@OpenAI Wow, they accepted defeat after realizing they can't release new frontier models to the general public anymore and named the models after collapsed crypto coins (Terra, Luna) 🥹

End of an era...

Thanks for your service OpenAI 🫡

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@VittoStack Oh nice, Lemme in...

[Programming Beats 💻 @ProgrammingVR]

@chrisdior777 In the AI era,Devs ship AI generated code without even looking at it, while attackers sharpen their tools with agents and continuously monitor every GitHub commit and newly deployed funded contracts.

Yup,asking for a single day without a hack is actually a pretty big deal now 🙂
