System Anchoring Chain

The System Anchoring Chain acts as the main hub and security backbone for the Chromia network. It collects and checks data from various dapp clusters by gathering block headers from each Cluster Anchoring Chain. These headers show the state of individual clusters, and by creating its own blocks, the system makes sure that all network data stays secure and tamper-proof.

This efficient process strengthens the network's integrity by:

  • Anchoring data: Collecting and verifying state information from each cluster.
  • Enhancing trust: Providing an extra, tamper-resistant record that brings together all the network's data.
  • Maintaining consistency: Ensuring network-wide security through reliable data validation and synchronization.

By focusing on these key functions, the System Anchoring Chain plays an essential role in keeping the Chromia ecosystem decentralized, secure, and trustworthy.
