In the past period, while communicating with many ecological project parties, there is an unavoidable common topic: how can data be truly utilized on the chain?
With the capital efficiency of PoL and the application growth in various tracks on Berachain becoming quite clear.
However, as more and more projects begin to discuss AI, data streams, and model training, everyone is actually seeking an answer to the question of how to deal with the data explosion brought by AI.
Recently, @irys_xyz launched its mainnet, allowing us to see that there is indeed a structural vacancy in the data layer on the chain.
Over the past decade, the industry has solved two core issues: 1) asset on-chain; 2) logic on-chain.
Now, more and more projects, AI application parties, and even traditional institutions are starting to explore whether it is possible to put the data itself on the chain and give it programmability.
Irys is a great start!
For a high capital efficiency chain like Berachain, if the future AI data layer can stably output off-chain value, it will, in a sense, form a complementary relationship with the PoL module:
On one side is the driving force of capital flow, and on the other side is the driving force of data flow. These two will actually enhance each other in the future ecological game of L1, rather than exclude each other.
Currently, the builders, liquidity, stablecoins, and contract volume on the chain are all increasing, and on the other end of the industry, the data infrastructure is also starting to advance on a large scale.
These two directions will definitely intersect in the future, and it is just a matter of time.
