Iterating over projects just gives you the keys in the dictionary, as
strings. If you also want to work with the values assigned to the keys in
the dictionary you need to iterate over the key,value pairs returned by the
dictionary items() method. Then the value you have in your loop will have a
chains attribute you can access. For example:
{% for project, chains_dict in projects.items %}
<h1 class="a">{{ project }}</h1>
{% for chain in chains_dict.chains %}
-- {{ chain }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
