Hey Chainbasers! We’re bringing Chainbase Club offline.
First stop: Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾 Time: Feb 1 | 10:00–12:00 (GMT+8) Regional Flying Curator: Kings
👉 Register on Luma and come say hi: https://luma.com/mfspf2r0
Chainbase Club has always been our home for hanging out, learning together, building together, and exploring what AI and Data can unlock. Now we’re taking that energy into the real world.
More cities soon, if Chainbase is part of your daily life, we’d love to see you there 💜💛
a16z asks an important question: As AI reshapes the internet, will it stay open, or collapse into closed systems and paywalls?
One thing this piece makes clear is that AI doesn’t just need better models. It needs shared primitives: - persistent data - verifiable context - portable identity - native value exchange
Without those layers, agents stay siloed, data stays fragmented, and the economics remain centralized.
In practice, this likely means turning raw onchain activity into structured, reusable data, and making it accessible in a pay-per-request way, so both humans and agents can actually rely on it.
Which suggests the real battle is happening at the data layer, long before agents and apps show up.
And that’s exactly the layer Chainbase is focused on building.
Standards like x402 make it possible for software to pay software for data, APIs, and services on demand.
Recent research suggests the real unlock isn’t commerce itself, but machine-native access to the data and context agents need. When payments become native, data becomes a market, and trust shifts to the inputs agents act on.
At that point, controlling which data agents can access and rely on becomes essential to shaping how they behave.
We’re kicking off the new year with an exciting partnership with Orbofi, an AI engine that empowers you to create productive AI agents and agentic coins.
Chainbase’s data infrastructure will be integrated into real agent workflows, from onchain data access for agents, to workflow-specific Claude skills, and the deployment of more capable AI agents.
