From fragmented on-chain data to structured intelligent assets, Chainbase is redefining the paradigm of data value flow through its innovative Manuscript mechanism.
In the era of integration between artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, data is shifting from a passive resource to an active asset. As a pioneer of the decentralized super data network, Chainbase is addressing industry pain points of fragmented blockchain data that is difficult to directly serve AI models or DApps through its innovative Manuscript scripting mechanism and four-layer architecture design.
01 Data as an Asset: The core innovation of the Manuscript mechanism.
Chainbase's core concept is "data as an asset," believing that data is not only a resource but also an asset that can be structured, standardized, traded, and incentivized. The key to realizing this vision lies in its unique Manuscript mechanism.
Manuscript is a programmable scripting language that allows developers to define data processing logic: from raw data extraction, format conversion, and cleaning standardization, to generating structured results. It differs from traditional ETL scripts with three main characteristics.
• Decentralized Execution: Running in the Chainbase Virtual Machine (CVM).
• Standardized output: Ensuring data compatibility with AI models.
• Monetizable Resources: Developers can turn Manuscript into data assets and earn query revenue.
This mechanism transforms data contributors from "free laborers" into content creators with intellectual property and revenue rights, fundamentally changing the distribution of data value.
02 Technical Architecture: A four-layer dual-chain design supports a high-performance network.
Chainbase's network adopts a four-layer collaborative architecture, ensuring the efficiency and reliability of data processing.
• Data Access Layer: Responsible for collecting, verifying, and unifying on-chain and off-chain data storage, and utilizing encryption methods like ZKP to protect privacy.
• Co-processing Layer: Introducing the Manuscript mechanism, allowing developers to define standardized data transformation processes, structuring raw data to be AI-ready.
• Execution Layer: Building a dedicated virtual machine CVM, supporting parallel processing and large data workflows, adapting to AI computing needs.
• Consensus Layer: Adopting CometBFT + DPoS architecture, ensuring secure, fast, and attack-resistant processing and data recording.
This architecture combines Cosmos CometBFT and EigenLayer AVS technology, achieving high performance of 500,000 queries per second while ensuring Ethereum-level security.
03 Ecosystem Expansion: From data network to economic system.
The Chainbase ecosystem has formed a scale effect: integrating over 200 blockchains, supported by more than 50,000 developers and over 10,000 on-chain projects. The average daily data processing volume reaches 600 million queries, successfully handling over 600 billion query requests cumulatively.
Its TVL (Total Value Locked) skyrocketed from less than $200 million to nearly $800 million between early January and July 2025, with a growth rate exceeding 300%. This growth is driven by the combined factors of technological architecture innovation, developer ecosystem cultivation, and artificial intelligence technology integration.
04 Token Economy: C token drives network effects.
C token is the core economic medium of the Chainbase network, serving multiple functions: **Payment Tool** (for paying data calls, Manuscript execution, storage, and other basic fees), **Incentive Mechanism** (rewarding node operators, script authors, data providers, and other participants), **Governance Rights** (token holders can participate in Chainbase DAO proposals and voting), and **Staking Purpose** (nodes and validators need to stake C to gain network participation rights).
The total supply is 1 billion tokens, with an initial airdrop of 3.5% to the first batch of contributors. The token distribution mechanism encourages true participants in the construction of the data network, establishing long-term consensus and interest binding.
05 AI Integration: Building on-chain smart data infrastructure.
Chainbase integrates the AI model Theia, an open-source model trained on 8 billion general large language model parameters and over 200 million Crypto parameters. Most importantly, Theia supports natural language interaction, allowing users to converse with the model for personalized access to on-chain data, significantly lowering the barrier to data usage.
This combination of AI capabilities and blockchain data provides unprecedented possibilities for applications in fields such as DeFi, NFT, and GameFi. A DataFi project focusing on on-chain credit risk control can use Chainbase to query users' DeFi lending records and address credit scores; an AI trading model can real-time call on-chain MEV data and make predictive decisions; an L2 browser can conduct user operation profiling based on structured data returned by Chainbase.
06 Future Outlook: Data assetization and open economic systems.
Chainbase's vision is not just to be a tool platform, but to build a complete data economic system: achieving knowledge assetization (data scripts and AI models can exist as tradable assets), creating an open market (anyone can call data, upload algorithms, execute processes), and establishing the concept that data equals value (each data call can automatically track revenue and reward contributors).
As the demand for structured, trustworthy data increases for AI models, Chainbase is expected to become an important foundation for AI Web3 applications. Its ultimate goal is to create a sustainable data economy that connects model trainers, data providers, and end users, supporting the integration of Manuscript and data models on-chain, pricing, and circulation, achieving seamless integration with L2, public chains, Rollups, and AI frameworks.
Through its technological innovations and ecosystem development, Chainbase is driving Web3 toward DataFi and intelligent economy, opening new paradigms for AI-native data networks. As data becomes the core asset of the digital economy today, the emergence of Chainbase is timely; it is not only a technical infrastructure but also an important builder of the future data economy.
