In the crypto market, sentiment always leads price fluctuations. Some might say 'news determines price', but what truly affects price is the attention of the people behind the news. The Tops launched by Chainbase captures this 'sentiment' and converts it into quantifiable data.
Traditional data platforms often focus on price, trading volume, and on-chain interaction counts, while Tops focuses on 'attention'. It uses AI algorithms to track in real-time which projects, tokens, and protocols are being discussed by users, and then generates a leaderboard. This data not only aligns more closely with real market dynamics but also helps investors spot trends ahead of time.
For example, if a new project suddenly gains popularity on Twitter and Telegram, but on-chain trading volume has not yet exploded, Tops can capture this trend. For ordinary investors, this is an opportunity to position themselves early; for researchers, it is a first-hand market signal; and for institutions, it can even become a source of Alpha strategies.
What’s even more noteworthy is that Tops is not just a front-end display; its underlying data comes from the Hyperdata Network. This means it possesses transparency and verifiability, unlike centralized platforms that can be easily manipulated.
In today’s world where sentiment increasingly determines price, the value of Tops may be greater than mere price data. Because it gives us the opportunity to quantify the market using 'attention' for the first time, this bridge will inevitably become an indispensable part of investment strategies in the future.
