In the Web3 data track, there are many participants, mainly divided into two camps: decentralized indexing protocols and centralized API service providers. Chainbase occupies a unique position in this landscape, and its advantage comes not from single-point optimization, but from a systematic architecture and strategic design.
Compared to traditional indexing protocols like The Graph, Chainbase's difference lies in its programmability. The Graph focuses on structured queries of on-chain data, while Chainbase's Manuscript protocol converts data into assets that can be directly used by AI models, ensuring that data is not only "queryable" but also "usable" and "trustworthy."
In contrast to centralized providers like Alchemy and Infura, Chainbase's advantages are reflected in decentralization and verifiability. Centralized solutions carry risks of single points of failure and lack transparency, while Chainbase, based on EigenLayer AVS's dual-chain architecture, provides verifiable and trustless data services, fundamentally alleviating trust issues.
Chainbase's core competitiveness lies in its collaborative system: a programmable data layer, dual-staking security guarantees, and a clear DataFi vision, together forming a moat that is difficult to replicate as a whole. This systematic advantage allows Chainbase to maintain a leading position in long-term competition.
