What Is Chainbase (C)?

of the Chainbase ecosystem. A manuscript is a script that defines how blockchain data should be processed, like what to extract or how to clean and format it in a way that apps and AI tools can use.

For example, a developer might write a manuscript that filters out the token transfers from a smart contract or tracks wallet behavior patterns for fraud detection.

Once the manuscript is published to the network, anyone can use it and the original creator earns rewards each time it’s used. It’s a way for developers to turn their knowledge into something valuable and reusable. As more developers contribute, the platform evolves into a growing library of trusted, ready-made data tools that anyone can plug into.

Execution layer

The Chainbase Virtual Machine (CVM) is a custom-built environment designed for executing manuscripts at scale. It uses data and task parallelization to handle multiple jobs at once and enable fast and efficient processing even at scale.

This layer is secured by EigenLayer, which lets Autonomous Verifiable Services (AVS) node operators restake ether or liquid staking tokens (LSTs) to provide the computing resources needed. They help keep the network decentralized and secure and are rewarded based on how much work they do.

Consensus layer

Chainbase uses CometBFT, a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithm that offers fast and reliable finality. It also uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) system, where validators check data operations and ensure everything stays consistent, while delegators can support trusted validators by staking their tokens.
