The launch of DeFi in 2020 gave rise to a trillion-dollar on-chain financial market. Now, standing at the node of 2025, DataFi, a new track that views data as a financial asset, is showing similar enormous potential. According to predictions from McKinsey and Gartner, the global AI data market could exceed $1.8 trillion by 2030, with data becoming the new generation of financial raw materials. However, issues such as pricing, circulation, collateralization, settlement, and trading of data urgently need to be addressed, and Chainbase is highly likely to become the underlying ledger and settlement layer of this blue ocean.
The essence of DataFi is the financialization of data. In traditional finance, banks convert deposits into configurable assets. In DataFi, personal transaction records and institutional on-chain liquidity data, once standardized and verifiable on Chainbase, can be split, combined, pledged, and traded like financial assets, giving data the dual attributes of currency and capital.
The commercial blue ocean of Chainbase is very broad. It is not only a 'high-performance indexing platform' but also serves as the clearing center for a data bank. It can provide raw data, derive a 'data liquidity pool', and the C token can serve as data collateral, with the potential for data derivative financial products to emerge in the future. Its value lies in building the financial layer of data value, rather than just a simple query function.
There are many reasons why Chainbase can become this blue ocean. From the migration from DeFi to DataFi, Chainbase can extend the asset combinability to data; the contradiction between AI and verifiable data can be resolved by Chainbase's verifiable data layer, mastering the future flow entrance of AI and finance; the current gap in the 'data market' in the crypto market presents an opportunity for Chainbase + C to become the first large-scale on-chain DataFi market.
Looking ahead, in 2026, Chainbase will create the first cross-chain data liquidity pool, with C used as 'data Gas'; by 2028, institutions and AI companies will enter, leading to the emergence of new financial products; by 2030, Chainbase will become the clearing network of global data banks, with C evolving into the reserve asset of the data financial system.
The value of Chainbase lies in the financial logic of DataFi, which gives data currency attributes, making the data market the next trillion-dollar blue ocean after DeFi and NFTs.
