Step 1: Account creation

Account creation is a critical step in integrating with Chromia's economy chain. This section highlights the available methods for creating accounts and ensuring secure management.

Bridging CHR from an EVM-compatible blockchain​

  • Ensure you have at least 10 CHR in your EVM wallet (e.g., MetaMask).
  • Visit the Vault.
  • Connect your wallet.
  • Follow the steps to bridge 10 CHR from an EVM-compatible chain to the Chromia economy chain.
  • Once the bridging process is complete, your Chromia account will be created and activated.

Staking CHR​

  • Go to the Staking page.
  • Connect your wallet.
  • Stake minimum of 10 CHR.
  • Follow the prompts to complete the staking process.
  • After staking, your Chromia account will be created and ready to use.

Paying a fee via internal transfer​

Using the Vault:​

  • Navigate to the Vault.
  • Connect your wallet and retrieve your account address on the Chromia economy chain.
  • Use an existing activated account to send at least 10 CHR to this new account address.
  • The 10 CHR will be used as a one-time account creation fee, activating the account.

Using the FT4 library:​

Alternatively, you can perform this process programmatically using FT4 library. For detailed instructions, refer to the Step 4 of this guide.
