Once, I was chatting with a developer friend who complained that using on-chain data was really difficult: either you had to run your own nodes, or you needed to spend a lot of effort cleaning the data, and in the end, you still couldn't guarantee the accuracy of the results. Later, he mentioned using Chainbase, saying it was a 'worry-free and labor-saving' method.
The core of Chainbase is to clean and interface complex on-chain data, allowing developers to directly access usable data through APIs. For example, transaction records, contract statuses, and cross-chain asset flows, things that used to take days to process can now be accessed in just a few minutes. For developers, it's not just time saved, but mental effort as well.
From my observations, the value of Chainbase lies on two levels. For individual developers, it lowers the entry barrier, allowing more small teams to create innovative applications. For institutions and project parties, it provides stable multi-chain support and real-time data, enabling them to conduct risk control, quantitative trading, cross-chain analysis, and other more complex applications.
One point that I personally value is that it promotes the transparency of the entire industry. Although on-chain data is public, if no one can use it, it is equivalent to being useless. Chainbase turns it into a 'ready-to-use tool', allowing more people to innovate under equal conditions.
In the long run, Chainbase is like the 'data utility company' of Web3; it doesn't need to be a daily news hotspot, but its existence is a necessary condition for the entire industry's development.
