Chainbase ingests on-chain and off-chain data into a unified “data lake”, then processes it in layers so applications and AI models can consume it easily. Its core components include.
A programmable layer where developers write custom queries and data pipelines. Manuscripts let “alchemists” (developers) transform raw blockchain data into richer data sets.
AVS layer
A decentralized Attestation/Verification Service (built on EigenLayer) that runs and verifies data computations on-chain for trust and security.
Chainbase Data Platform
A real-time query engine offering APIs and prebuilt datasets across many chains. For example, in 2025 Chainbase launched new “premium abstracted” datasets (token metadata, on-chain trades, token prices, address labels) covering Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, and more.
$C Token
the native crypto asset used to pay for data queries, stake for network security, govern protocol upgrades, and reward contributors. (Chainbase has allocated over 65% of $C for ecosystem incentives and airdrops.)
These pieces work together so that AI models and developers can query blockchain data as easily as querying a database, without worrying about data fragmentation. For example, Chainbase provides a browser-based DataCloud console where anyone can write SQL queries against live blockchain data (no coding setup required). Its goal is to turn “fragmented onchain signals” into “structured, AI-ready data”.
What Chainbase Offers?
Chainbase offers a full data infrastructure stack and community resources:
Real-Time Data Explorer:
Chainbase launched a live Network Testnet Explorer that shows up-to-date stats (blocks, transactions, gas, etc.) for the Chainbase network. This explorer is designed for transparency, letting developers and users monitor the network’s health and performance.
DataCloud Console:
A no-code web interface where anyone can run SQL queries on live data. The Chainbase blog shows examples of querying the Sui blockchain: one guide walks through using the DataCloud console to fetch Sui transactions with a single SQL query.
Tops Attention Engine:
Chainbase introduced Tops, a real-time “attention detection” tool for crypto. Tops ingests both on-chain and social data (tweets, transactions, etc.) and ranks emerging stories by “social velocity” and “influence”. Community members can “Ping” trending content, earn Tops Points for spotting news early, and unlock rewards or early access in the ecosystem. In short, Tops turns the infinite crypto newsfeed into a structured, real-time leaderboard.
Chainbase Genesis Portal:
Chainbase’s “Odyssey” mission page was used during the testnet phase to onboard users. Participants complete tasks (chatting with Chainbase’s AI bot Theia, linking wallets, joining social channels, etc.) to earn “gem” points redeemable for $C tokens later. The Genesis portal now integrates with popular wallets (OKX Wallet, Gate) for easy participation.
Chainbase Foundation:
A non-profit foundation has been established to support the ecosystem. The foundation funds grants, drives community growth, and oversees protocol governance. Its mission is to make contributing to Chainbase sustainable for example, it ties rewards in $C to contributions like writing high-quality manuscripts or running infrastructure.
Blockchain Integrations:
Chainbase already indexes 200+ blockchains across EVM and non-EVM ecosystems. It has established partnerships to grow this further. For example, Chainbase teamed with Bitlayer to bring Chainbase data to Bitcoin via the new BitVM bridge, and with Walrus Protocol to power a decentralized data lake (WalruS3) for storage.
Who Is Chainbase For?
Chainbase is designed for anyone building or using blockchain data at scale. Use cases include:
Wallets and Asset Apps:
A wallet app can use Chainbase to let users see assets across multiple chains in one interface.
Security and Monitoring:
Analysts can use Chainbase data to detect attacks or monitor suspicious activity across many chains.
AI and Data Scientists:
AI developers can feed Chainbase’s unified data into machine learning models, improving accuracy with broad on-chain knowledge.
Cross-Chain Social & Content:
Apps can build “social” or content platforms where users from different chains interact, since Chainbase ties together data from all chains.
DeFi and DApps:
Decentralized finance platforms can use Chainbase to enable cross-chain lending or liquidity, as it makes assets on any chain visible and usable.
Partnerships and Collaborations
Chainbase has teamed up with many projects to extend its data network. For example:
Chainbase has partnered with protocols like Story and Walrus to enhance data infrastructure. One strategic partner is Story Protocol: together they will create an IP-specific data processing framework, with specialized “Data Zones” to protect digital content and intellectual property. Chainbase also partnered with Walrus Protocol to create a decentralized data lake (WalruS3), bringing cloud-like S3 interfaces to blockchain data. Other notable collaborations include Google Gemini, Flock.io, and IO.net (for AI and infrastructure), and deep integration of Sui blockchain data (as highlighted in Chainbase’s mid-2025 newsletter).
Chainbase worked with AI projects (like focEliza) to make onchain data easier to query using natural language. In an AI partnership with focEliza, Chainbase launched an AI plugin that lets Eliza OS agents query the Chainbase dataset with plain-English questions. With this plugin, even non-technical users can ask the Eliza assistant about blockchain data and get verifiable answers. Chainbase also announced a major partnership with Bitlayer to extend programmability to Bitcoin now Chainbase’s omnichain data is fueling a new ecosystem of Bitcoin-based dApps. In short, Chainbase’s open data layer is being woven into many new chains and applications, from Layer 1 blockchains like Bitcoin to layer-2 networks and AI platforms.
Recent Announcements and Events
Chainbase’s Linktree highlights its latest news and tools:
Chainbase Foundation Launched:
In July 2025 the Chainbase Foundation was officially formed to govern the network and fund development. This non-profit will manage upgrades, staking incentives, and community programs, ensuring growth of the Chainbase ecosystem.
$C Token Airdrop (Season 1):
Chainbase kicked off its first $C token airdrop, allocating 3.5% of tokens to early supporters. This Season 1 airdrop rewards the community builders, developers, and operators who helped grow the network. Eligible users (based on on-chain activity, contributions, etc.) could check and claim tokens on the official airdrop site starting July 14, 2025.
Chainbase Genesis (Odyssey) Campaign:
During the testnet, Chainbase ran an interactive “Odyssey” campaign called Chainbase Genesis. Users completed tasks (like chatting with Chainbase’s AI Theia or engaging on social media) to earn points for future rewards. The Genesis portal now supports integration with popular wallets (OKX, Gate) so anyone can join in on-chain.
Tops Launch:
On August 1, 2025 Chainbase launched Tops, its onchain/social “attention engine”. Tops quickly attracted crypto users as a way to discover trending blockchain events in real time. (Users earn Points for spotting viral content early, earning community rewards.) This public release shows Chainbase expanding beyond backend data to building data-driven consumer tools.
Quarterly Newsletters:
Chainbase publishes regular newsletters summarizing milestones. For example, the Q1 2025 update reports that Chainbase processed 110–150 million onchain data calls per day (500+ billion overall) while growing to 396K community members. It also announced 4 new datasets on the platform and partnerships (Story, focEliza, Walrus) in those updates. Likewise, a 2024 Year-in-Review report noted that Chainbase integrated 220+ chains, saw 31 million users in the Genesis campaign, and expanded to 35,000 developers on 10,000+ projects.
Chainbase continues to appear at Web3 events (Token2049, ETHDenver, etc.) and has a global ambassador program. These announcements and events show that Chainbase is actively building both its technology and its community.
