Dune is just a tool, while Chainbase is the network
Many people in the crypto space have used Dune to view data reports and analyze on-chain data, which is indeed very convenient.
But I want to pour a bucket of cold water: Dune ≠ Chainbase.
Why? Because one is a 'tool' and the other is a 'network'.
🧰 Dune: Centralized Tool
• You write SQL, it helps you run it;
• Data is hosted on its servers;
• Want deeper permissions? Pay money.
Essentially, it is just a nice Excel + dashboard.
🌐 Chainbase: Decentralized Network
• Full-chain API: Developers can write a SQL statement to directly call any chain's data;
• Manuscript collaboration layer: Your scripts can be reused globally and can earn revenue;
• Nodes and staking: $C holders can run nodes and delegate, ensuring network security and computing power;
• AI model Theia: Directly train a native large model that understands blockchain.
This is not a platform, but a complete set of data fuel pipeline + incentive mechanism + AI brain.
💡 Core Differences
• Dune: You are using its services;
• Chainbase: You are participating in its network.
In the former, you are just a user; in the latter, you can be a developer, node operator, investor, or even a 'shareholder'.
🚀 Value Signals
• Funding: Tencent and Matrix Partners invested 15 million dollars;
• Endorsement from major firms: Binance listed $C and promoted HODLer Airdrops;
• Ecosystem acceleration: Foundation Grants are open, encouraging more people to write scripts and run nodes.
This set of combined strategies is clearly not a 'tool' mindset, but aims to create industry-level infrastructure.
🎯 Conclusion
Dune lets you 'see data', Chainbase lets you 'own data'.
This is the difference between a tool and a network.
When the future AI × Web3 world fully erupts, you will find:
