What unnamed heroes lie behind the smooth experience we take for granted?
When we smoothly check our token balances in a wallet or refresh the latest floor prices in the NFT market, we often marvel at how well the user experience of these applications is done. But we rarely think about where this real-time, accurate data actually comes from.
Every time we pull down to refresh, the application needs to send requests to the blockchain to query our assets, transaction history, or market data. If this process is slow or the data is inaccurate, we might have uninstalled the app long ago. What guarantees this smooth experience are the unnamed heroes silently working behind the scenes—the blockchain data infrastructure providers.
These platforms are like the central kitchen of the Web3 world. They pre-clean, cut, and cook the vast and raw ingredients (data) from various public chains (like BSC, Avalanche, etc.), creating exquisite pre-prepared dishes (structured data). When front-end applications (wallets, DEXs, NFT markets, etc.) need data, they can directly place orders from the central kitchen and instantly receive processed information that can be presented to users.
Chainbase is a standout in this vast kitchen system. Many familiar applications likely rely on its stable and efficient data services. It allows us to enjoy a Web 2.0-like smoothness while retaining the decentralized core of Web3. Next time you praise the speed and accuracy of a dApp, consider that there are unnamed heroes like Chainbase safeguarding your experience.
