KEY FEATURES
- A relational model: Blockchain data and application state are stored in a relational database. This model is considered to be best in class in terms of flexibility, versatility and consistency;
- A relational programming language: Chromapolis dapp backends are written in a specialized language which is deeply integrated with the relational model. This model increases programmer productivity and ensures application consistency;
- Horizontal scaling: Each dapp has its own blockchain(s). Because each blockchain is run by a subset of nodes, it is possible to increase total throughput by increasing the number of nodes;
- Rich indexing and querying: Dapps can quickly retrieve information they need directly from nodes running the application. Dapp blockchain logic can perform complex queries without severe performance degradation;
- High I/O throughput: data queries and updates are delegated to a heavily optimized relational database, allowing dapps to perform a large number of queries and data update operations.
- PBFT-style consensus: Transactions can be confirmed within seconds;
- First-class dapps: Dapps do not arise from “smart contracts” in Chromapolis, but are considered first-class entities. Chromapolis gives dapp developers a high degree of flexibility and control.
- Dapp level provisioning: allocating resources to dapps rather than contracts gives developers the freedom to create their own fee and resource use policies.
