There is a paradox in the Web3 data ecosystem: individual users authorize on-chain data alone, and due to the single dimension of data, they can only earn small amounts of $C; small and medium DeFi projects purchase cross-chain data independently, resulting in high costs that are difficult to cover across all scenarios; and several small shops in the offline business circle want to unite for Web3 membership activities, but due to their dispersed data, they cannot form a unified member profile—'going it alone has no advantage', which diminishes the data value for many participants. Chainbase, as a decentralized data infrastructure, is using a 'team collaboration + resource sharing' model to form a 'data collaboration bureau', enabling individual users to team up to enhance data value, allowing small and medium projects to band together to reduce costs, and solving the dilemma of 'a single hand cannot clap'.
Its core breakthrough is aggregating 'individual data resources' into a 'collaborative value network', rather than having participants fight alone. On the technical level, Chainbase has built a 'data collaboration hub': for individual users, the hub has launched a 'data teaming function'—users can invite friends to team up (e.g., '3-person DeFi investment data team', '5-person NFT collection data team'), integrating scattered single-dimensional data (such as 'personal ETH investment records', 'individual Sol NFT collection') into multi-dimensional data packages (e.g., 'cross-chain DeFi + NFT comprehensive data'), which are more attractive to project parties, and can yield 3-5 times the profit. A college student from Chengdu, Xiao Zhou, previously earned 80 C by authorizing data alone each month, but after teaming up with four classmates, their data was purchased by a certain Web3 analytics platform, increasing their monthly earnings to 450 C; for small and medium projects, the hub has developed a 'data sharing alliance'—multiple similar types of projects (such as small and medium DeFi lending platforms) can jointly purchase cross-chain data, resulting in a cost that is only one-third of independent procurement after sharing expenses, and they can also share data usage experiences (e.g., 'certain user data is more effective in reducing bad debt rates'). An alliance of five small and medium DeFi platforms reduced its data costs from $15,000 per month to $5,000, while also optimizing its risk control model; for offline merchants, the hub has designed a 'business circle data linkage module'—multiple small shops (e.g., catering, retail, cultural innovation) in the same business circle can share membership on-chain data, generating a 'comprehensive profile of business circle members' (e.g., 'users who frequently buy coffee + hold cultural innovation NFTs'), and then jointly conduct targeted activities. After 10 small shops in a business circle in Shanghai collaborated, the overall visit rate of Web3 members increased by 65%, four times better than conducting activities individually.
When implementing the ecosystem, Chainbase does not engage in 'mandatory bundling', focusing on flexibly adapting to 'collaboration-driven' scenarios. For individual users, it launched a 'teaming plaza'—users can post teaming needs (e.g., 'need 2 GameFi data players to team up') or join others' teams. The plaza also features a 'teaming earnings calculator' (input 'number of team members + data type' to estimate 'how much more to earn than authorizing alone'). Currently, 1.55 million users have participated in teaming, and the monetization rate of teamed data is 80% higher than that of individual data; for small and medium projects, it has introduced a 'growth plan for alliances'—newly established data alliances can receive a data subsidy of 1,000 C, and for each additional project in the alliance, an extra 200 C subsidy is provided. A certain DeFi alliance expanded from 3 to 8 members, accumulating 2,000 $C in subsidies, with data coverage expanding from 2 chains to 7 chains; for offline merchants, it has initiated 'business circle collaboration support'—providing participating merchants with free 'membership data integration tools' and event planning solutions. Recently, it helped 15 small shops in a university town business circle conduct a 'Web3 membership discount linkage', boosting the overall sales of the business circle by 50% within three days. Additionally, Chainbase has developed a 'collaboration profit-sharing system' that automatically allocates teaming earnings, alliance costs, and business circle profits according to contributions (e.g., 'users with more data dimensions earn more', 'projects with larger procurement volumes in the alliance have lower cost ratios'), avoiding disputes.
In the long run, its value lies in 'amplifying the aggregation effect of Web3 data through collaboration'. Currently, Chainbase has 1.55 million individual users and 65,000 small and medium cooperative projects/merchants participating in the collaboration. With the expansion of the collaboration network (from individual teams to project alliances, and then to business circle linkages), the aggregation value of data is becoming increasingly apparent—previously only able to meet the singular needs of small projects, it can now connect with higher-value demand parties such as Web3 analytics platforms and large brands. Recently, the project has also partnered with the Web3 social platform Friend.tech, allowing users to form 'data collaboration communities' on Friend.tech, where the collaborative data earnings of community members can be distributed as dividends based on their contributions, with an expected addition of 550,000 individual users. The 'collaboration attribute' of the C token is also being strengthened: the C earnings of team users increase with the number of collaborations; alliance projects can use C to pay for data fees with tiered discounts; nodes that stake C can prioritize joining high-value collaboration bureaus (such as the 'Brand Data Procurement Alliance'), a design that has increased the $C staking rate to 88%, with a daily trading volume growth of 65%.
From helping college students team up to earn tuition fees, to allowing small and medium project alliances to reduce costs, and to connecting small shops in business circles to attract customer flow, Chainbase is transforming Web3 data from 'individual resources' into 'collective wealth' through the 'Data Collaboration Bureau'. As more participants join the collaboration network, this 'data collaboration hub' may make 'joint winning' the new mainstream in the Web3 data ecosystem, maximizing the value of data through aggregation.
