Chromo: The Composability Engine Powering Mitosis

The Old DeFi Struggle: Liquidity in Chains In traditional DeFi, changing strategies feels like moving out of your apartment just to switch the couch. Want to move funds from one vault to another? You typically need to: • Withdraw • Bridge • Swap • Redeposit and pray gas isn’t spiking when you do. This process doesn’t just eat time it eats capital too. What if you could skip all of that? That’s the question Mitosis asked. And the answer? Chromo the composability engine at the heart of programmable liquidity.

What Is Chromo?

Chromo is the infrastructure layer that makes DeFi liquid again. It's not a bridge. It's not a DEX. It’s not another farming UI. Chromo is a cross-chain vault router that lets you move liquidity between strategies without ever leaving the Mitosis ecosystem. With Chromo, your miAssets (like miETH or miUSDC) gain powers like: ♡ Swap yield strategies ♡ Rebalance portfolio allocations ♡ Shift between chains ♡ Adapt to new market conditions All without bridging, without swapping, without redepositing, all you need is Just one click.

A Real Example: From Idle Vault to Smart Yield

Let’s say you're holding miETH, earning passive yield from an Aave based strategy. But Aave's returns dip. You spot a better opportunity in a GLP-based vault on Arbitrum. Old DeFi: • Unstake from Aave vault • Bridge ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum • Swap ETH to GLP • Deposit into the new vault • Pay gas fees multiple times • Lose time, yield, and possibly sleep. With Chromo: • You click once. • Your miETH moves directly into the new vault. • No bridge risk, No asset exposure, No downtime. That’s not a UI trick, That’s composability by design.

Why Chromo Is Different

Chromo is more than just a way to move liquidity, it’s a system that lets your liquidity adapt with: ♡ Markets evolve ♡ Yield curves shift ♡ Risk levels change With Chromo, your strategy can adjust in real time without needing manual intervention, high gas fees, or technical know how. It’s vault to vault logic movement. A routing layer for programmable assets.

What Chromo Is and Isn't

Let’s break the misconceptions: ❌ It’s not an AMM ❌ It’s not a bridge ❌ It’s not a DeFi aggregator ✅ It is a dedicated router for miAssets, built natively into the Mitosis architecture. Think of it as LayerZero + Uniswap, but designed for vault strategies not swaps or transfers. Every movement is informed by logic. Every transfer respects the rules of programmable liquidity.

Why This Matters for DeFi Users

If you’ve been active in crypto the last few cycles, you already know: ⚠️ Bridging is risky and slow ⚠️ Vaults rug or underperform ⚠️ You miss yield because strategy switching is clunky Chromo fixes that with seamless, secure vault reallocation no bridges, no downtime, just flow. Plus, it supports any miAsset, including: Stablecoin LRTs (like weETH, ezETH, mETH) LP tokens Liquid vault shares. You don’t get locked in dumb strategies, You evolve as the ecosystem evolves.

Bottom Line

Chromo = Composability as a Service If Mitosis is programmable liquidity, Chromo is its switchboard. It gives you: • Instant strategy rotation • Logic based yield switching • Infrastructure to move across chains and protocols without moving yourself This isn’t just a quality tool, It’s foundational. Because composability isn’t a nice to have in DeFi anymore. It’s the difference between surviving and scaling.
