#Chainbase
## What is #Chainbase
Chainbase is a **hyperdata network** and Web3 infrastructure platform developed to consolidate, index, and transform blockchain data across multiple chains into a unified, AI-ready ecosystem.
### Key Capabilities & Architecture
* **Omnichain Data Network**: It integrates on-chain and off-chain data from hundreds of blockchains into a single, structured data ecosystem
* **Four-Layer Architecture**:
1. **Data Accessibility Layer** – collects and organizes multi-chain data.
2. **Co-Processor Layer** – uses *manuscripts*, scripts that process and transform raw data.
3. **Execution Layer** – employs a custom virtual machine (CVM) and leverages EigenLayer AVS for secure processing.
4. **Consensus Layer** – utilizes a dual-chain structure with CometBFT consensus, enabling high throughput and securit
* **Manuscripts**:
* These are reusable, developer-authored scripts that structure, tag, and format blockchain data.
* Developers earn rewards when others use their published manuscripts
* **Security & Tokenomics**:
* Employs a **dual-staking model**, where participants stake both ETH (via EigenLayer) and Chainbase's native **C Token** for security and consensus
* The **C Token** is used for governance, staking, fees, and rewarding contributors within the ecosystem

## Use Cases & Ecosystem
Chainbase supports a wide range of applications across Web3:
* **Cross-Chain Wallets**: Unified asset views across multiple blockchains
* **Security Analytics**: Real-time monitoring, alerting, and on-chain threat detection
* **AI Integration**: Supplies structured, machine-readable blockchain data for AI agents and models
* **Social & DeFi Platforms**: Enables interoperable social apps and cross-chain DeFi services like lending, trading, and analytics
* **Developer Infrastructure**: Provides APIs, streaming data pipelines, SQL/GraphQL access, ETL tools, and dataset abstractions
