The AI Wave on Base: How Perpetual Contract Protocols Leverage Verifiable Data to Redefine DeFi Transparency

【ChainWen】Recently, I came across an interesting collaboration case—Pundi AI and the perpetual contract platform BasePerp built on Base have teamed up. At first glance, it seems like a typical ecosystem partnership, but upon closer inspection, it reflects a core need in current DeFi: how to make AI truly trust on-chain data.

The key point of this collaboration lies in data verification. Pundi AI has opened its decentralized data infrastructure to the BasePerp ecosystem, providing not just simple market data, but high-quality datasets and trading signals suitable for AI models. Specifically, these data will support trading strategy optimization, market analysis, and risk management—essentially giving AI decision-making a reliable basis.

What’s most noteworthy is the concept of “on-chain intellectual property rights.” Pundi AI’s approach is to put data on the blockchain, making it auditable, open, and transparent, so that any developer or trader can verify the authenticity of the data. This is a fundamental improvement for AI applications in finance—no longer a black box model, but a verifiable decision-making chain.

From an ecosystem perspective, this collaboration explores three dimensions: integration solutions, developer support, and community activities. As a representative of high-performance L2 solutions, Base is attracting more and more DeFi innovations; meanwhile, AI-driven trading tools are becoming standard requirements for the new generation of DeFi users. The combination of the two indeed has promising potential.

In fact, this reflects a major trend: in the future, competition among on-chain financial products may ultimately be decided by data quality and AI capabilities. Those who can provide more trustworthy and transparent data sources will have the opportunity to earn the trust of developers and users.
