Chainbase has been very active recently, not only completing the full integration of the Sui blockchain with its own product lines Manuscript-GUI, Manuscript-CLI, and Chainbase DataCloud, but also releasing several noteworthy big moves. The most eye-catching is their launch of $C staking, with high annualized returns directly hitting the pain points of token holders. More importantly, there's this new thing called Tops—a first-of-its-kind AI-driven attention detection engine for crypto users in the industry. If it can accurately capture market sentiment fluctuations, traders might be up all night figuring out how to integrate it into their strategy systems.
In terms of ecological cooperation, they haven't been idle either, providing data on the SIWA test network with Sahara Labs, connecting SpoonOS's AI agents to a real-time on-chain data interface, and recently teaming up with Trusta Labs to advance the Hyperdata Network. These partners are all significant players, indicating that Chainbase indeed has substantial capabilities in the data infrastructure space. Community growth data is even more impressive, with Discord surging to 360,000 members and Twitter reaching 560,000 followers—this scale is already considered top-tier in the Web3 infrastructure space.
In terms of brand upgrades, changing the name from Omnichain Data Network to Hyperdata Network clearly aims to amplify the narrative of data + finance. Surrounding products are also creatively marketed, including a TGE perfume co-branded with top fragrance company dsm-firmenich and a blind box concept. These marketing tactics are not new in traditional industries, but they definitely represent a significant shift in the Web3 field.
The listing performance of token $C has been quite robust; after debuting on Binance Alpha on July 14, it quickly landed on Binance spot and futures, and followed by top Korean exchange Bithumb as well as second-tier exchanges like Bitget, Gate, KuCoin, and MEXC. Although the initial price has not been disclosed, being able to make it onto so many mainstream exchanges indicates that liquidity is basically secured.
From the special event at Sui Basecamp in Dubai to a series of appearances at the Istanbul Blockchain Week, Chainbase has managed its offline exposure rhythm very well. Now that the product matrix is in place and the token economy is in operation, if they can truly run the concept of DataFi, the valuation space could rise even further. After all, in the intersecting track of AI + blockchain data, we have yet to see a solution more vertical than Tops.
