- Vector databases are often housed on cloud servers, which raises questions about centralization and transparency.
- Chromia’s advancement of blockchain-enabled AI continues with the Mimir Upgrade.
Chromia has announced that one of the first decentralized vector databases in the world will be available on March 25th with its Mimir Upgrade. By offering a blockchain-based substitute for centralized solutions, this milestone will open up new avenues for AI-driven applications.
Significant public attention and financial investment have been generated by the emergence of AI models such as GPT and DeepSeek. Nonetheless, the vector database is an essential but sometimes disregarded part of AI infrastructure. These databases help AI models handle language better, allowing for important features like text retrieval, long-term memory, and similarity searches.
Vector databases are often housed on cloud servers, which raises questions about centralization and transparency. By offering a decentralized substitute that enables AI and blockchain applications to store and retrieve vector embeddings on-chain, Chromia’s Mimir Upgrade transforms the landscape.
Johnson Lai, Chromia’s Head of Data and AI stated:
“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 relational architecture plays a crucial role in its evolution. Large data sets may be uniquely structured using Chromia, which improves the efficiency of storage, search, and modification. A vectorized layer, which would be unfeasible on a conventional blockchain, may be implemented thanks to this foundation.
Chromia’s advancement of blockchain-enabled AI continues with the Mimir Upgrade. The integration of Python, one of the most popular programming languages for artificial intelligence, and the establishment of a $20 million Data and AI Ecosystem Fund are the foundations of this effort. Chromia introduced EVAL Engine, a tool to assess AI agent interactions and track performance degradation over time, earlier this year by utilizing Virtuals Protocol.
After the upgrade, Chromia will keep developing its decentralized AI capabilities and advancing partnerships with both new and current Web2 and Web3 partners.
