Lilypad x Baselight

Lilypad and Baselight are proud to announce a formal strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the development of decentralized AI infrastructure. This collaboration represents a high-conviction commitment to shaping a modular, composable future for intelligent systems—anchored in transparency, permissionless access, and community ownership.

This alliance is part of Lilypad’s broader ecosystem strategy to bring together every critical layer—compute, models, and now structured data—into an open innovation economy for AI.

2. Meet Baselight

Baselight is a decentralized platform for structured data discovery, querying, and monetization. With over 27 billion rows of data, 140,000 tables, and integrations across DeFi, DeSci, and Web3, Baselight enables developers and researchers to build insights, dashboards, and intelligent agents using high-quality, accessible datasets.

Built by Finisterra Labs and backed by Haun Ventures and Lightshift Capital, Baselight is laying the foundation for a globally distributed, transparent data layer for AI.

3. Shared Vision: Unlocking Open Intelligence

Lilypad and Baselight are deeply aligned in their mission to decentralize core infrastructure for artificial intelligence. Both teams believe in:

• Decentralization as a catalyst for innovation

• Open infrastructure as a public good

• Data and model provenance as critical primitives for trustworthy AI

Lilypad provides decentralized compute, AI Models and agent execution, while Baselight delivers the structured, queryable data needed to fuel model development, RAG systems, and real-time analytics. Together, the two platforms enable a vertically integrated decentralized AI pipeline.

4. Synergistic Strengths

Lilypad’s Capabilities:

• Distributed GPU compute network with job-based pricing

• Permissionless deployment of AI models with API endpoints

• Full-stack infrastructure for inference, RAG, MCP, fine-tuning, and agent workflows

Baselight’s Capabilities:

• Massive structured data catalog with 1-click query interface

• SQL-native analytics and soon-to-launch data APIs

• Transparent licensing, monetization, and versioned provenance

🔧 Short-Term Use Cases

• Immediate demos of Lilypad-hosted LLMs accessing Baselight data in RAG workflows

• Co-branded tutorials showcasing Baselight’s structured datasets as inputs for deployed models

• Co-marketing initiatives to raise awareness around structured data’s role in decentralized AI

🚀 Mid-Term Roadmap

• Native API integrations for streamlined Lilypad-Baselight developer pipelines

• Preprocessing models deployed on Lilypad to normalize public Baselight datasets

• Opt-in flow for pushing Baselight data into vector indexes for real-time agent querying

• Token-aligned revenue share and staking infrastructure tied to data and model contributions

5. Strategic Impact

This partnership creates a robust, composable stack for the decentralized AI economy:

• Model + Compute + Data in one programmable pipeline

• Greater accessibility for developers and researchers

• Verified provenance from data ingestion to inference outputs

• Cross-platform monetization opportunities for both data and model contributors

It also signals to the broader ecosystem that decentralization is not just viable—it’s operational and performant.

6. Long-Term Ecosystem Vision

This collaboration represents a foundational move toward an open-source intelligence stack. Structured data fuels the reasoning layer of intelligent systems. Compute makes it actionable. Together, Lilypad and Baselight unlock:

• Agentic pipelines powered by verifiable data

• Training pipelines that preserve IP and open-access distribution

• A new model for trust-aligned, modular infrastructure in the AI economy

Baselight will become the trusted repository for public and permissioned structured data. Lilypad will ensure this data can be processed, queried, and monetized through composable compute workflows.
