DataFi: The Financialization of Data
DeFi is the financialization of assets, while DataFi is the financialization of data. In this new narrative, the role of Chainbase goes far beyond being a mere 'data index'; it is more likely to become the value foundation of data.
Currently, the main uses of on-chain data are still limited to market analysis, risk control modeling, and on-chain auditing. However, as AI and blockchain merge, data is turning into a new type of means of production. Imagine developers generating verifiable training sets for AI models using high-quality data interfaces provided by Chainbase. At this point, the data itself possesses market pricing power, and Chainbase is the key platform for circulation and settlement.
Furthermore, Chainbase may also construct data staking and data markets. Users can host their on-chain datasets for DApps or research institutions to purchase, using $C tokens for settlement. This is akin to DeFi liquidity pools, except here 'liquidity' refers to data.
Once Chainbase establishes this standard ahead of others, DeFi, NFT, GameFi, and even AI applications will benefit. It can be said that the true value of Chainbase is not just 'being able to read data,' but 'enabling data to flow and be financialized.'
