Chainbase C
the AI data librarian
🎭 Owl-eyed and patient. Two hundred chains of noise go in; one labeled scroll comes out.
💬 “Two hundred chains shout their data at me all day, and none of it is tidy. I read the noise, sort it, label it, and hand back a clean scroll any developer or AI can actually read. That sorting is the whole job.”
- The pitch: a network that turns the messy raw data of 200+ blockchains into clean datasets for developers and AI.
- Builders publish recipes called manuscripts and earn rewards when other people use them.
- Founded 2021 in Singapore; raised a $15M Series A in July 2024.
- Token C launched July 14, 2025, with a fixed cap of 1 billion coins.
📖 The Story
2021, Singapore. A small team set out to fix a quiet but stubborn problem. Every blockchain keeps a public record, yet that record is raw and awkward, like a library where every book has been emptied onto the floor. If you wanted to ask a simple question across several chains at once, you first had to wade through that mess yourself. Chainbase was built to be the librarian who does the sorting for you.
The idea is to read raw data from many networks, more than 200 of them, including the big ones like Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Solana, then hand it back as clean, labeled datasets a machine can read. The team gave this a name: the DataFi era, where on-chain data stops being a chore and becomes a product. That framing landed at the right moment, because AI tools are hungry for exactly this kind of well-organized data.
July 2024. Investors bought the pitch, and Chainbase raised a $15 million Series A, lifting its total funding to roughly $18 million. The work also had a clever social layer: instead of one company writing every dataset, outside developers could publish their own recipes, called manuscripts, and collect rewards whenever someone else relied on their work.
July 14, 2025. The C token went live, first appearing on Binance Alpha near five cents, and four days later Binance opened full spot trading. The librarian had stepped out from behind the desk and into public view, capped supply and all.
📊 Stats
🧩 How it works
Chainbase runs on a two-chain design. One side, built with Cosmos tooling, handles coordination and governance, the housekeeping of the network. The other side borrows Ethereum's security through EigenLayer restaking, where validators pledge their staked coins to back a service called an AVS (Active Validation Service). On top of that sit four layers, plainly named: Data Accessibility (read the chains), Co-Processor (crunch the data), Execution (run the jobs), and Consensus (agree on the result). Developers feed in manuscripts, the data flows through, and tidy datasets come out the other end.
🌗 Light & Shadow
- Solves a real, boring-but-painful problem. Raw on-chain data is genuinely hard to query across chains, and good plumbing has lasting value (it reads 200+ networks)
- Rides a strong tailwind: AI tools need clean, structured data, and Chainbase is built to serve exactly that
- The token has a hard cap of 1 billion, so no new coins can be minted past that line (scarcity baked into the design)
- Very young and unproven. The token only launched in mid-2025, so its long-term track record barely exists yet
- Only about 16% of the supply unlocked at launch, meaning a large amount can still enter circulation later and weigh on the price
- It works behind the scenes, so it competes with other data and indexing projects, and being useful plumbing does not guarantee the token captures the value
- Leadership is partly anonymous, since the CEO is known only by the handle ‘Mogu’ rather than a confirmed legal name
🧬 Evolution lineage
Chainbase is not a fork or a sibling of any coin, it is a standalone data network. Its closest relatives are technical, not genetic: it is built with Cosmos for coordination, leans on EigenLayer restaking for security, and the C token is deployed on Base, Coinbase's Layer-2.

❓ FAQ
- What is Chainbase?
- A decentralized data network. It reads raw data from more than 200 blockchains and turns it into clean, organized datasets that developers and AI tools can read easily. The team calls this the ‘DataFi’ era, where on-chain data becomes a product in its own right.
- What is the C token used for?
- Five jobs: paying to query the network's data, rewarding people who build datasets, helping secure the network's validation layer, voting on governance, and general payment. The total supply is capped at 1 billion C, with about 16% unlocked when it first launched.
- Who built Chainbase and when?
- It was founded in 2021 in Singapore. The CEO is publicly known by the handle ‘Mogu’ and the co-founder and COO is Chris Feng. In July 2024 the project raised a $15 million Series A, bringing total funding to roughly $18 million.
- Does Chainbase have its own blockchain?
- No. Chainbase is a data network layered on other chains, not its own settlement blockchain. It uses Cosmos tooling for coordination and EigenLayer restaking for security, and the C token itself is deployed on Base, Coinbase's Layer-2.
- When did the C token launch?
- The token went live on July 14, 2025 on Binance Alpha at an initial price near $0.05, and Binance opened spot trading for it on July 18, 2025. It was also Binance's 28th HODLer Airdrop project. (Information only, not an exchange or investment recommendation.)
