on 31st January 2020 chromia launched publicly in testnet the chromia vault and the chromia block explorer which is a big milestone for us.
The Vault lets you manage your tokens across different chains, browse dapps available on Chromia, and control your accounts on different dapps (Chromia SSO, stay tuned for more about this)
The Chromia Explorer allows you to visualize transactions and activity on different chains. If you have used other block explorers the interface should be familiar to you, but it differs in that it offers a fully decentralized way to explore the Chromia blockchain. Because relational blockchain removes the need for indexing services, you can fetch information straight from the chain without any servers in between. Read on for more information about the Vault and the Explorer, and how you can try them out yourself.
You can access the Vault at http://vault.testnet.chromia.com. If you have used any kind of blockchain wallet before, the process of account creation should be intuitive. The most important thing is that you remember to record your mnemonic phrase somewhere safe! Your Vault can have many accounts active within it, each account is registered on a specific blockchain. Each dapp consists of at least one blockchain. The Vault queries Chromia system chains to find available dapp chains.
Chromia team will soon be publishing more details about how the Vault allows you to securely authorise accounts on different dapps. We call this system Chromia SSO and believe that it is unique in the blockchain space. It has the potential to revolutionize dapp UX, stay tuned for more!
In short - the chromia wallet solves most of the UI/UX pain points when you on board new users to crypto and dapps without sacrificing it's security and makes crypto more accessible to mainstream users.
