Chainbase Newsletter: January 2026

Chainbase continued to push forward the agent-native data economy with expanded x402 documentation, enabling AI agents to pay directly for API calls, data syncs, and real-time access on a pay-per-request basis.

By combining micropayments with agent identity standards, x402 moves data access closer to autonomous, composable agent workflows without subscriptions or manual accounts.

BuilderMaps, Chainbase’s public-good mapping initiative, continued to grow:

• 11 ecosystems mapped

• 880+ projects indexed

• Used to surface emerging sectors like prediction markets, AI infra, and staked media

BuilderMaps is becoming a shared reference layer for understanding where ecosystems are forming and how narratives connect.

Tops continued to see strong organic usage, with users highlighting its ability to:

• Trace scam origins and fake narratives

• Compare regional discourse (CN / EN / KR)

• Surface early trend shifts and long-tail discussions

Tops has become part of daily workflows for traders, researchers, and builders, with MAU remaining above 10K.

Partnered with Orbofi, an AI engine for productive agents and agentic coins, integrating Chainbase data into agent workflows, Claude skills, and deployments.

Chainbase data powered Heurist, enabling composable AI agents with crypto-native intelligence, trust layers, and verifiable data sources.

Launched the first Chainbase Club Coffee Chat in Kuala Lumpur, bringing online discussions into real life for learning, building, and networking.

The 2025 Year-in-Review was also shared this month, recapping infrastructure milestones, partnerships, and community growth.

Co-hosted with Suisterhood, Bitget, and Sui Network at SuiHub Athens, focusing on networking, feminism, and womxnhood in Web3.

Together with WEEX and Hubble, we co-hosted an AI Trading Hackathon with live sessions, attracting 1,000+ participants, connecting agents, traders, and builders.

January reinforced Chainbase’s direction for 2026:

• Expand Chainbase Club to more cities worldwide

• Ship new DataFi products

• Drive broader x402 adoption across agent ecosystems

• Launch more AI × DataFi partnerships and builder programs

• Continue evolving BuilderMaps as a shared cognition layer for Web3

Chainbase will keep pushing the boundaries of the Hyperdata Network.

Keep Building, Keep Shipping.

Chainbase is building the Hyperdata Network for AI — a foundational layer for the DataFi era.

Built as a Hyperdata Network, Chainbase turns onchain signals into structured, verifiable, and AI-ready data that can be directly processed by AI models and decentralized applications. Its core stack includes:

• Manuscript: a programmable layer for building data assets;

• AVS layer: decentralized data execution and verification;

• $C Token: the native currency for AGI.

This structured data layer supports a new generation of crypto applications that are autonomous, composable, and economically aligned with their users and contributors.

To date, Chainbase has indexed over 200 blockchains, processed more than 500 billion data calls, and supports a community of more than 35,000 developers. Over 10,000 projects actively use Chainbase across a wide range of use cases, including MEV infrastructure, L2 explorers, agent protocols, and onchain analytics.

The founding team brings deep experience in blockchain infrastructure, data engineering, and protocol security. Chainbase is backed by top-tier investors and works closely with ecosystems across modular infrastructure, large language models, and onchain AI.

As the need for machine-readable and economically aligned data continues to grow, Chainbase provides the foundational layer for a programmable data economy—one where information moves freely between agents, protocols, and people.
