When on-chain data becomes the new oil of the encrypted world, who will ensure that its extraction, refinement, and distribution are both efficient and trustworthy? Chainbase provides its own answer with a four-layer dual consensus architecture. But is this design the ultimate solution for the industry, or merely a transitional form in the evolution of technology? Let’s break down each layer and see what lies beneath the concrete.

Data acquisition layer: When the off-chain world begins to "Rollup"
The data entry of Chainbase resembles a decentralized data funnel, but it adds two key designs compared to traditional data lakes: ZK proofs and node collaborative verification. It is not surprising that on-chain data is accessed through public gateways; what is truly interesting is how it handles off-chain data—social media behaviors and traditional financial data, these "non-native encryption assets," are packaged through ZK and enter the network in the form of Rollup. This design preserves privacy while avoiding the risk of a single data source acting maliciously through multi-node verification (SCP protocol).
The cleverness of the data acquisition layer lies in the fact that it does not attempt to reinvent the wheel. Existing node operators and RPC service providers can connect directly, which solves the cold start problem. According to internal testing data, the current network supports real-time data fetching for 12 mainstream public chains, with an average daily throughput of 47TB for off-chain data channels. This compatibility creates a natural barrier for Chainbase on the data supply side.
