The launch of Chainbase's mainnet is a watershed moment. Previously, many viewed it as an API provider like Alchemy or Infura, but now it resembles more of a 'protocol.'
What's the difference? With traditional APIs, when you get results, you can only 'trust the service provider.' Chainbase's mainnet, however, provides verifiable results, allowing you to trace the source. This is a boon for teams creating compliant products.
The billing method has also changed: Previously, with increased usage, costs spiraled out of control; after the mainnet launch, fees are linked to Gas and staking, making prices more transparent and budgets more controllable.
From a numerical perspective, the Discord developer community has surpassed 15,000 members, and SDK downloads increased by 12% in a week. This indicates that the mainnet has indeed attracted a wave of new users. The 24-hour trading volume of the C token has stabilized in the range of $25 million to $30 million, and liquidity remains relatively healthy.
From the perspective of the competitive landscape: The Graph relies on community subgraphs, Dune relies on SQL analysis, while Chainbase emphasizes 'versatility + verifiability.' It's not about one replacing the other, but rather complementing each other.
In one sentence, the mainnet launch has transformed Chainbase from a 'tool' into a 'protocol.' The next question is whether it can continue to attract developers, rather than being just a flash in the pan.
