AGI Tsunami: Chainbase Attempts to Build an On-Chain Data Ark
Written by: Bright, Foresight News
Plato depicted a famous "Allegory of the Cave" in "The Republic": prisoners in a cave are chained and can only see shadows cast on the wall by candlelight, believing those shadows to be the only reality; it is only when someone breaks free and exits the cave that they discover the world illuminated by sunlight is the true reality.
In today's world where AI and blockchain intertwine, are we not also prisoners in a "cyber cave," engulfed by massive amounts of data? The fragmented information on and off the chain is like the flickering shadows on the rock wall—false, disjointed, and unreliable. Developers struggle to build accurate applications due to incomplete data, investors miss valuable opportunities due to distorted signals, and AI models generate systemic biases due to unreliable inputs.
The capital market has already begun to stake claims on the data supply side, with AI data companies like Scale AI and Surge AI in Silicon Valley rising to valuations exceeding $10 billion.
On-chain, DataFi has emerged. In the era of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), DataFi will play the role of leading us out of the cyber cave—providing an open and transparent data interaction operation layer, constructing a data-centric AI stack at the foundational level in a chain-native manner, ultimately transforming fragmented human behavioral data into verifiable, structured, AI-ready executable assets.
The impressive performance of Chainbase, a full-chain data network that successfully completed its TGE in July and saw a monthly increase of over 76%, confirms the market's demand for Web3 AI Infra.
Mining the On-Chain Data "Gold Mine"
Chainbase founder MOGU stated that the internet has brought connectivity, encryption technology has brought ownership, and artificial intelligence has brought intelligence, but intelligence does not appear out of thin air; it arises from the fusion of three elements: data, models, and compute. Currently, AI is developing rapidly in terms of models and computing power, but the data supply side is clearly weak—human-generated "organic data" has hit a growth ceiling, and AGI is being "polluted" by the low-quality data it generates.
Thus, the next decade for AI will be the decade of "data infrastructure." In this context, data is no longer a by-product of technology; in other words, it is no longer merely an appendage to productivity. Instead, it is a core production factor that can be measured, traded, and appreciated, much like electricity and computing power.
In the Chainbase Hyperdata Network, roles such as operators, validators, developers, and delegators each find their place, with data circulating based on a "manuscript" structure, which includes two parts: schema and operators. The schema defines the data types and corresponding parameters for on-chain transactions, while operators serve as means for data extraction and analysis. After developers compile the manuscript, operators (who must register in EigenLayer) will index these manuscripts and confirm them with validators, who need to ensure the security and integrity of the data. Delegators will stake and delegate native ETH or protocol tokens CBT, and if any tampering occurs, the smart contract will trigger a penalty mechanism, such as deducting the staked ETH, thereby ensuring security on an economic level.
Allowing the "Gold Mine" to Flow Freely
Previously, established on-chain data infrastructures like The Graph and Dune still required external intervention and manual configuration for data acquisition and processing, making it difficult to achieve automated data processing. Such adaptation requirements limited the comprehensiveness and scalability of traditional data stacks; users lacking native programming skills found it challenging to obtain useful information within the data infrastructure and complete specific applications.
In response to complex application scenarios, Chainbase has built a chain-native AI large model, Theia, supported by a new generation of data stack systems, and has made it open source. Theia is based on 8 billion general large language model parameters and over 200 million crypto parameters, trained using the D2ORA algorithm. Most importantly, Theia supports natural language interaction. Crypto users can converse with Theia as naturally as they would with ChatGPT, personalizing their access to the required on-chain data.
Chainbase Market Outlook
Before the TGE, Chainbase completed a $15 million Series A financing round, led by Matrix Partners China, with participation from Folius Ventures, Hash Global, JSquare, Mask Network, and Bodl Ventures, indicating traditional internet giants' optimism about the development prospects of DataFi.
A month after the TGE, Chainbase performed impressively in the concurrent Binance Alpha project. Chainbase currently has a circulating market value of $63.6 million, with a total market value approaching $400 million and a daily trading volume exceeding $200 million across the network. Its token C was launched on Binance Alpha on July 14, distributing 750 C tokens to eligible users as an airdrop, which has been estimated to exceed $380 at its highest price. During the same period, token C was exclusively launched on Bitget's Launchpool, distributing a total of over $1 million worth of 2.5 million C tokens to VIP and regular users in the BGB prize pool.
Now, C has been listed on mainstream exchanges such as Binance and Bitget for spot and perpetual contract trading. Additionally, C was officially launched on the highly lucrative South Korean exchange Bithumb on July 29. According to CoinMarketCap data, the trading volume on Bithumb reached $22.717 million on the first day of C's listing, ranking 14th in trading volume within the exchange.
Currently, according to Chainbase's official disclosure, Chainbase has integrated over 200 blockchains; integrated over 50,000 developers and more than 10,000 on-chain projects; achieved a data refresh interval of less than 3 seconds to ensure real-time performance; processed an average of 500 million queries daily, successfully handling over 600 billion queries; and launched 3 million wallets. Furthermore, Chainbase AVS has secured decentralized execution through 600,000 ETH (Eigenlayer) and has established comprehensive cooperation with Eigenlayer, Altlayer, io.net, Google Cloud, TON, Sui, Mask, Particle, and others.
It can be said that in the midst of the AGI tsunami, DataFi has created a new paradigm for the assetization and financialization of on-chain data. The Hyperdata Network built by Chainbase "starting from the chain" will continue to empower both on-chain and off-chain AI, creating a pure data ark for users.
