Chromia has announced the upcoming Asgard Upgrade, marking the first major technical update for its main blockchain. This update will provide new opportunities for developers and enhance the platform's functionality.
Asgard Upgrade: New Features
The Asgard Upgrade, scheduled for December 3, will introduce Chromia Extensions, modular enhancements that allow developers to add new features on top of the core platform. These extensions retain the platform's unique relational architecture and gas-free user experience.
Extensions to Enhance Platform
The first planned release is the Oracle Extension, developed in cooperation with Stork, a leading decentralized data provider. It will enable off-chain data integration into applications. This enhancement, along with recent improvements to Chromia's asset bridge and CHR exchange integration, is expected to stimulate increased economic activity across the network.
Future of Chromia Platform
The AI Inference Extension, scheduled for Q1 2025, will support blockchain-based AI model applications by leveraging the network's computational resources. This extension is intended to strengthen the platform's role as a transparent data layer for decentralized AI projects.
The Asgard Upgrade will go live on December 3rd, with the public release of the Oracle Extension to follow. This event marks another step in the development of the Chromia platform, enhancing its functions and opening new opportunities for developers.
