Yesterday (April 15, 2025), after months of closed testing, onboarding over 25,000 datasets, and laying the foundations for our growing community, Baselight officially opened for public access. Our decentralized structured data platform is now live, and is ready to power a new generation of insights, dashboards, and applications across Web3, finance, AI, and beyond.

Baselight by the numbers.

From the beginning, we set out to build a data platform that delivers scale, accessibility, and performance. That means removing the barriers between finding data and turning it into actionable insights. Whether you are analyzing blockchain activity, training AI models, or building dashboards for real-world metrics, Baselight gives you the tools to move faster and build smarter.

Here’s what that looks like in numbers:

These stats represent more than just growth. They reflect the power of a universal platform built to handle real-world data needs at scale. With over 27 billion rows of structured data, 140,000 tables, and 25,000 datasets available on day one, Baselight gives you the depth and flexibility to query across domains without needing extra infrastructure or setup.

Whether you’re an analyst tracking token flows, a researcher modeling inflation impact, or a DePIN network mapping real-world usage, Baselight gives you the data foundation and query power to go from zero to insight in seconds.

Why Baselight? Well, data is broken today.

For decades, analysts, developers, and data teams have been forced to work within a fragmented, inefficient system. Data is siloed across platforms, locked behind restrictive licenses, and burdened with manual integration workflows. Even with advances in machine learning and real-time analytics, the hard truth remains:

Most of the world’s data is still too hard to find, too hard to query, and too hard to trust.

Baselight was built to change that. We believe structured data should be as accessible, open, and interoperable as code. Like GitHub did for developers, Baselight is building the foundational infrastructure for a global, community-driven data economy.

A new era for data is here with Baselight.

Baselight is your new home for decentralized structured data, combining discovery, querying, analysis, and monetization in one seamless interface. You can:

• Search and explore structured datasets across sectors like DeFi, macroeconomics, RWA, sports, and everything in between
• Write SQL queries directly in your browser utilizing SQL assistant tooling
• Build and share visualizations without spinning up your own infra
• Upload your own data and use the built in tools to combine and query it with any of the data on the platform

Son, data providers and individuals will be capable of distributing and monetizing their data as well! Unlike legacy platforms, you’re not just renting access to someone else’s walled garden. Instead you own your data, your models, and (eventually) your revenue.

Who is Baselight built for?

We’ve seen explosive interest from a diverse set of users, each bringing new energy to what’s possible with structured data:

• Crypto Traders: Monitor onchain liquidity, swap flows, and wallet movements
• DeSci researchers and communities – Publish, query, and collaborate on reproducible, open-access research datasets with transparent licensing and version control.
• AI Developers: Feed structured datasets into model training pipelines or LLM fine-tuning
• DeFi & Web3 Builders: Combine contract-level and protocol-wide insights into actionable insights
• RWA Platforms: Analyze yield, token issuance, and market performance across networks
• DePIN Networks: Track device activity, usage stats, and reward distribution through indexed metrics
• Sports Analysts: Backtest predictive models using live and historical performance data
• Researchers: Query high-integrity public data and join it with private sources—without exposing anything

Our day-one launch partners.

We’re thrilled to launch with integrations from three incredible data partners:

• Akave — Decentralized storage for Baselight datasets, ensuring durability, verifiability, and censorship resistance
• Probelab — Infrastructure metrics for Ethereum, Celestia, Polkadot, Filecoin, and more—available publicly for the first time
• Portals.fi — Deep DeFi swap, deposit, and withdrawal transaction data, indexed and ready for analysis

These partners have helped us unlock data that was previously only accessible to private teams or hidden behind fragmented APIs. Now, it’s live on Baselight for everyone to query!

Backed by builders. Funded by visionaries.

Baselight is a product of Finisterra Labs, a team of engineers, analysts, and researchers from companies and projects like Protocol Labs, Dune Analytics, Ripple, IPFS, and Filecoin. In early 2025, we raised a $3.75M pre-seed round led by Haun Ventures and Lightshift Capital to accelerate the development of Baselight and grow our ecosystem.

Baselight turns data chaos into clarity. By unifying how we share, query, and monetize structured data, it lets analysts and researchers skip the cleanup and get straight to insights.
