Chromo Exchange: The Native AMM of Mitosis, Tested in Battle and Ready for Mainnet

Chromo Exchange: The Native AMM of Mitosis, Tested in Battle and Ready for Mainnet

Chromo is Mitosis' programmable AMM, designed for modular, cross-chain DeFi.

What is Chromo Exchange?

Chromo Exchange is the soon-to-launch decentralized exchange (DEX) at the heart of the Mitosis blockchain—an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built on Cosmos.
More than just a swap interface, Chromo is Mitosis’ native Automated Market Maker (AMM). It plays a central role in enabling seamless liquidity for:

  • maAssets (modular, yield-generating tokens)
  • Matrix Vaults (curated DeFi strategies)
  • Ecosystem-Owned Liquidity (EOL) models

Chromo is not a fork—it's a custom-built protocol designed to support cross-chain programmable liquidity natively within Mitosis.

The Game of MITO: A Glimpse into the Future

Chromo debuted during Game of MITO, the first-ever gamified DeFi testnet, which ran from November 27 to December 22, 2024.

Users could access Chromo via app.chromo.exchange (now offline) to:

  • Swap testnet assets
  • Provide liquidity
  • Earn XP toward their $MITO token allocation
  • Interact with other Mitosis-native protocols (like Telo, Clober, YieldKingZ)


Chromo was one of several integrated DApps in DeFi’s most advanced testnet event.

Key Takeaways from Chromo’s Testnet Phase

During the 25-day event, Chromo helped validate core infrastructure that will power Mitosis mainnet:

  • Cross-chain liquidity routing using vaults and branch chains
  • XP incentives and dynamic item crafting mechanics
  • AMM support for modular assets like maAssets and miAssets
  • Governance integration using TWAB-based voting via miAsset balances
Testnet performance influenced mainnet rewards. Chromo was one of the most strategic tools available to optimize XP and prepare for $MITO distribution.

What’s Next for Chromo Exchange?

While no official launch date is confirmed, the Mitosis docs and roadmap suggest:

  • $MITO token listing in Q2 2025
  • Chromo mainnet deployment shortly after, becoming the core liquidity engine of the ecosystem

When it launches, Chromo will support:

  • Trading of $MITO and vault-based assets
  • Yield-earning liquidity provision
  • Real-time on-chain strategy execution via Matrix Vaults

How to Prepare for Chromo’s Mainnet

Even though the testnet has closed, there’s plenty to explore:

Final Thoughts

Chromo Exchange isn’t just a DEX. It’s the liquidity layer of a modular, programmable DeFi future.
While most users only got a taste of Chromo during Game of MITO, that short-lived testnet proved its capabilities—and set the stage for a powerful mainnet debut.

From vault strategies to governance power, from maAssets to modular yields—Chromo will be where it all connects.

Mainnet is coming. Chromo is ready.
