  Obtaining blockchain and smart-contract data is hard ... Spice makes it easy.

A slight detour from the company's original vision (https://archive.is/88IoQ)?

Actually, we posted the original vision in Sep 2021 at https://blog.spiceai.org/posts/2021/09/07/introducing-spice.... for AI-driven applications and discussed needing a good source of data at https://blog.spiceai.org/posts/2021/12/05/ai-needs-ai-ready-....

We believe blockchain data is one of the most interesting time-series datasets to work in developing an AI-driven application platform, because it's continuous, well-structured, has many applications, and is open to index. Regardless of views on crypto, from a purely technical/data feed perspective, it's quite useful for testing time-series systems.

Agree. I shared the same blog link (via archive.is) in the comment you replied to.

Detour into blockchain, even if warranted, might have been a distraction? Either way, congratulations on this relaunch.

Thank you! Much appreciated.
wow thanks for pointing this out

I have a short circuit for whenever I see the B word or still pushing this smart-contract non-sense that isn't being used in serious real world projects with legal repercussions....for the 10+ years this technology has existed
