About RootData
RootData is a Web3 asset data platform that structures fragmented on-chain and off-chain information into searchable databases covering projects, people, funding events, and token metrics. Its core value lies in standardized data verification, a transparency scoring system (A–F), and an API network integrated into over 200 wallets, exchanges, and security firms. The platform addresses the industry's pain points of scattered information, unverifiable project claims, and opaque disclosures that hinder exchange listing reviews and investor due diligence. In the past six months (2026-03-12 to 2026-09-12), RootData launched a project information management system (Jan 2026), upgraded core data to support financial-grade disclosures (Apr 2026), and integrated its data into Binance Wallet (Feb 2026). In March 2026, it began offering data as Skills on the OpenClaw AI agent marketplace, enabling free programmatic access. A notable challenge includes maintaining data accuracy amid rapid AI-agent adoption and preventing API abuse, though no major negative incidents were publicly reported in the period.
RootData launched the beta version of its tokenized asset features, providing real-time trading data for over 8,000 tokenized stocks and contracts to extend coverage into traditional finance.
It fully opened character data, integrating more than 20,000 entries into Skills to enhance transparency in the Web3 talent ecosystem.
RootData introduced perpetual contract exchange rankings to establish a reliable data benchmark for investors.
Key developments (2026-03-08 to 2026-09-08):
Binance Alpha integrated RootData team data across 400+ tokens, embedding team roles, social links, and influence scores into Binance's website/app to boost project transparency.
Launched Tokenized Assets Beta, tracking 8,000+ tokenized stocks and derivatives with real-time trading data (volume, liquidity depth, OI) across major exchanges.
Encapsulated core data as Skills for OpenClaw AI assistant via ClawHub, enabling free access for AI agents to project, funding, and token data.
Upgraded API to 21 endpoints/200+ fields, adding person, funding, RD Growth Index Top 300, X relationship, and calendar event interfaces.
Future focus: RootData aims to become the trusted data infrastructure for crypto, deepening exchange integrations, expanding open data capabilities for AI ecosystems, and enhancing transparency through community-driven data verification and incentive mechanisms.
