Chromia announced the release of the Mimir Upgrade, introducing one of the world's first decentralized vector databases, opening new avenues for AI technology applications.
Mimir Upgrade and Vector Databases
Starting March 25th, Chromia's Mimir Upgrade will introduce a decentralized vector database, allowing the use of blockchain in AI applications. Vector databases are crucial for language processing and AI models like GPT and DeepSeek, supporting functions such as similarity searches and long-term memory.
Benefits of Decentralization
Traditionally, such databases are hosted on centralized cloud servers, leading to transparency risks. According to Johnson Lai of Chromia: CITE_W_A, 'In most cases, using a vector database means relying on centralized infrastructure. We're going to change that. With the Mimir Upgrade, projects operating at the intersection of blockchain and AI will be able to store and access their vectorized data directly on Chromia.' Chromia's unique relational architecture supports this move, enabling effective data management.
Future Development of Chromia
The Mimir Upgrade is a key step in Chromia's expansion of blockchain and AI capabilities. In 2025, the company launched a $20 million fund for data and AI ecosystem support and integrated Python. Post-upgrade, Chromia plans to expand its decentralized AI capabilities, partnering with various Web2 and Web3 entities.
Chromia takes an important step towards developing decentralized solutions for AI, paving the way for innovation and collaboration in the tech sector.
