An EVM layer-1 for regulated records, shown as it is today.
Khromosome is an EVM-compatible layer-1 (chain ID 777001) running standard Ethereum proof of stake on Reth + Lighthouse. It is built so healthcare and finance institutions can use a public chain they can defend to their regulators: named validator operators, on-chain sanctions screening and audit logging, and a protocol-level monetary policy.
This page states every claim at the status it actually has. Live means you can verify it right now against a public endpoint. Beta means it is deployed on the public-beta chain, which runs on a testnet-grade genesis. Built means the code is written and tested but not deployed. In development means it is not finished.

| Component | Status | What is true today |
|---|---|---|
| Khromosome L1 (chain 777001) | Beta | Producing and finalizing blocks since 2026-05-25. Testnet-grade genesis; single operator. |
| Public RPC / WS / explorer | Live | Self-hosted Otterscan explorer with Sourcify verification. |
| BridgedKHROME (Ethereum mainnet) | Live | 0x6E34DBcFa8ae7EEBE73365d7439305Cd3E5d68F6, Etherscan-verified. Backed by testnet KHROME; supply 0.15. Owner is still a hot EOA; transfer to the Safe is pending acceptance. |
| KhromeBridge (L1 side) | Beta | 0x67fD…9957. Owner is a testnet deployer EOA; transfer to the Trezor is pending acceptance. |
| KhromeChain (records anchor) | Beta | 0x37dd…e951. Signed entries, validator-voted app-layer finality, consent-scoped reads. |
| KhromeDrive (encrypted storage) | Live | Live API at vault-api.khromosome.xyz (app at drive.khromosome.network). Internal review only; no external audit. |
| Khromeswap DEX | Beta | Factory, router, and pairs deployed; pools.khromosome.network. |

| KhromeVestingWallet · Timelock migration script | Built | OpenZeppelin VestingWalletCliff composition; ownership→timelock script. Tested, not executed. |
| MonetaryController (zero-point issuance) | Built | Runs end to end on a local devnet with a custom reth. Not live on 777001. |
| Post-quantum signatures (ML-DSA-87 precompile) | In development | Lives in a custom reth fork. The public chain runs stock reth. |
| .khrome name service | Beta | Deployed 2026-10-04 at 0xa058FED1097F9D27a526DF428F4f5c0E211f5510 (resolver 0x624A…f99b), both source-verified. Register at names.khromosome.network; rent is swept to the treasury. |
| DEX protocol fee · bridge fee · node-license & token-sale contracts (KYC/geofence) | Built | Written and tested in Foundry. Not externally audited, not deployed; ship with the mainnet redeploy. |
| Test suite | Live | 446 Foundry tests passing (33 suites). October 2026 internal review: 6 issues found and fixed. 15 symbolic (Halmos) bridge properties, run manually (optional CI job, not a merge gate). Slither + Semgrep in CI. No external audit yet. |
04Tokenomics summary (v2, draft)
Mainnet genesis: 777,000,000 KHROME. The testnet premine does not carry over. Every founder, foundation, and investor bucket is vested by an on-chain contract, not by a promise.
| Bucket | % | KHROME | Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treasury / Foundation | 25% | 194,250,000 | 10% at genesis; 90% linear over 48 months · Safe + 48h timelock |
| Ecosystem & Grants | 20% | 155,400,000 | 5% at genesis; 95% linear over 48 months · Safe + 48h timelock |
| Team & Founders | 18% | 139,860,000 | 12-month cliff, 48-month vest |
| Validator & Staking Rewards | 15% | 116,550,000 | 3% of the remaining pool per 30 days, contract-enforced |
| Investors / Strategic | 12% | 93,240,000 | 12-month cliff, then 24 months linear |
| Community (airdrop · node-license rewards · community sale) | 7% | 54,390,000 | Airdrop 50% at genesis + 6 months; node rewards over 36 months; sale at the LBP |
| Liquidity | 3% | 23,310,000 | 50% at genesis, 50% at month 3 |
| Total | 100% | 777,000,000 | 6.25% unlocked at genesis · 30.97% at month 12 · 96.52% at month 48 |
No team or investor token unlocks in year 1. The full 48-month schedule and its generator script are in the tokenomics document below. The zero-point MonetaryController would add a small per-block issuance on top of this table, but it is not live and is not modelled.

| Token / node-license sale exposure | Reg S + 506(c) only; counsel sign-off; KYC + sanctions attestations | Policy |
