Family, who understands! In the past, checking on-chain data was harder than finding a partner; now Chainbase lets me use $C tokens to become a "landlord of on-chain data"! It feels like owning a rental property in the digital world, with little money rolling in every day~
Real experience hits hard:
Last week, I used their real-time data API to check an NFT project's transaction records, and the speed was faster than my partner checking my phone! The best part is staking $C to become a node; I can passively earn the fees from data queries. Although it's not much per instance, the volume makes it worthwhile~
Pitfall blood and tears history:
At first, I was baffled by jargon like "decentralized indexing" and "cross-chain data lake"; while studying the whitepaper, I almost doubted my nine years of compulsory education! Plus, starting with a small amount felt like tossing coins into a donation box, but after three months, I finally saw the magic of compound interest!
Daily cheeky operations:
In the morning, tracking popular meme coins using real-time data
At noon, collecting node dividends to buy a life-sustaining coffee
In the evening, playing "on-chain Sherlock" to analyze whale movements
On weekends, using cross-chain queries to help a friend find a lost NFT
Hardcore summary:
✓ Web3 infrastructure is a necessity, solid as an old dog
✓ Query speed crushes competitors, a savior for developers
✓ Sustainable revenue model, suitable for long-termism
× Learning curve is as tough as the Huashan path
× Small funds need patience to wait
× Some niche chains are still under construction
Now I finally understand what the big shots mean by "He who has the data has the world"! Do you have any cooler token strategies for $C ? Come to the comments to share tips and open my eyes~
