Web3 data services are like 'high-end restaurants': small and medium projects need to pay hundreds of C in annual fees just to check cross-chain NFT data; individual users who want to monetize on-chain data must first spend energy learning complex operations; offline small supermarkets wanting to create Web3 memberships face deployment costs for data tools enough to cover half a month's rent—'high thresholds and expensive costs' keep many small players out of the data ecosystem. As a decentralized data infrastructure, Chainbase is opening a 'data convenience store' with 'affordable services + extremely simple operations,' allowing 1 C to check key data and 3 steps to complete monetization, making it accessible and usable for small and medium projects, individual users, and offline small shops.
Its core competence is breaking down 'high-priced complex professional services' into 'affordable and easy-to-use retail products,' rather than only doing 'big client business.' On the technical level, Chainbase has built a 'data retail hub': for individual users, the hub launched '1C data tasks'—all tasks are of 'low threshold, short time consumption' types, such as 'spend 1 minute authorizing today’s BNB Chain transaction records to earn 1 C' or 'upload a screenshot of an NFT collection to exchange for 2 C,' without needing to understand technology, just three clicks to complete. Xiao Li, a delivery worker in Guangzhou, completes 3 tasks during his lunch break each day, earning over 300 C per month, enough to help with his rent; for small and medium projects, the hub developed 'pay-per-use data interfaces'—checking Ethereum DeFi liquidity data costs only 1 C, and calling Solana chain GameFi player data costs only 2 C, without needing to pay annual fees, pay for what you use. A small-scale cross-chain NFT tool project reduced its data costs from 500 C per month to 80 C after using it, while also flexibly checking data across multiple chains; for offline small shops, the hub launched 'zero-deployment data tools'—small shops do not need to install complex systems, just scan Chainbase's 'data verification code' with a mobile phone to check customers' on-chain NFT holdings and determine whether to offer discounts, as simple as scanning a payment code. A community convenience store in Chengdu learned to use data for membership activities within 3 days after using it, increasing NFT member store visit rates by 40%.
When the ecosystem is implemented, Chainbase does not bundle packages but focuses on 'small demand' for 'retail adaptation.' For individual users, it launched a 'data task supermarket'—tasks are classified by 'profitability' and 'time consumption,' allowing users to select tasks like shopping in a supermarket, such as 'earn 3 C in 2 minutes' or 'earn 8 C in 5 minutes,' and also form teams to complete tasks for extra rewards. Currently, the supermarket has over 200,000 daily participations, with a total distribution of over 50 million C; for small and medium projects, it launched a 'data penny jar'—projects can pre-deposit a small amount of C (minimum 10 C) and call data as needed, replenishing once used up. A small DeFi information platform no longer wastes money on 'unused annual fees' after using it, making data calls more flexible; for offline small shops, it initiated a 'data convenience store support plan'—providing small shops with free 'data verification guides' and 10 C of start-up funds to help them quickly get started. Recently, it cooperated with a chain convenience store brand to help 200 community stores open data services within a month, driving a 35% increase in small shop NFT membership consumption. More thoughtfully, Chainbase also developed a 'data cost calculator' that allows users to input 'the type of data they want to check + the number of times,' calculating 'how much C it will likely cost,' completely eliminating concerns about 'worrying about spending money.'
In the long run, its value lies in 'using retail to benefit every small player with Web3 data.' Currently, Chainbase has 1.25 million individual users and 50,000 small and medium cooperative projects/merchants, covering community convenience stores, delivery workers, small studios, and other previously overlooked 'small demand groups'—as the services of the 'data convenience store' become more comprehensive (from checking data to monetization, from online to offline), more small players are attracted, forming a positive cycle of 'small demand aggregation - service optimization - more small demand.' Recently, the project also reached a cooperation with Southeast Asia's cash payment platform OVO, allowing users to exchange earned C for local cash (such as Indonesian rupiah, Philippine peso), directly for daily consumption, which is expected to add 500,000 individual users. The 'retail attributes' of the C token are also being strengthened: 1 C can participate in basic data services, accumulated C can be exchanged for 'offline small store discount vouchers,' and staking C can unlock 'high-yield data tasks,' a design that has increased the staking rate of C to 80% and daily trading volume by 55%.
From helping delivery workers earn rent with spare time to enabling community small shops to conduct data activities with 10 $C, Chainbase is transforming Web3 data from 'high-end services' to 'everyday commodities.' As more small players step into the 'data convenience store,' this retail data platform might make 'everyone can afford data and everyone can earn from data' a new ecology of Web3, truly rooting Web3 data into the lives of ordinary people.
