The ZK-verified data blockchain project Space and Time, supported by Microsoft, officially announced today that its mainnet is live. As the first decentralized database network providing zero-knowledge proof (ZK) verified data for smart contracts, Space and Time will empower developers to build the next generation of verifiable, data-driven on-chain applications.
Breaking the Boundaries of On-Chain Data, Unlocking a New Paradigm for Smart Contracts
Currently, smart contracts cannot natively access historical data, cross-chain information, or off-chain databases, which greatly limits the complexity and functionality of on-chain applications. Space and Time addresses this core pain point through its decentralized verification network:
- Multi-chain data indexing: Real-time synchronization of mainstream blockchain data such as Ethereum, stored in a distributed network maintained by verification nodes;
- Proof of SQL: A query verification technology based on sub-second ZK co-processors, ensuring that SQL database query results can be securely called by smart contracts;
- Enterprise-grade compatibility: Achieving seamless encrypted integration between enterprise cloud databases and smart contracts for the first time, eliminating the risk of data tampering.
Scott Dykstra, Chief Contributor of Space and Time, stated:
"Before the birth of Space and Time, on-chain applications that needed to call foundational user data either sacrificed security or faced the risk of centralized tampering. Now, developers can build complex data-intensive DApps through cryptographic proofs—from dynamic financial derivatives to AI-driven on-chain agents, and even tokenization systems for physical assets."
Technical Foundation: Cutting-Edge Exploration by MakeInfinite Labs
Space and Time is incubated by MakeInfinite Labs, a cutting-edge protocol laboratory that has received $50 million in investments from institutions such as Microsoft M12 Ventures, dedicated to innovation in crypto ecosystem infrastructure. Its technological contributions include:
- Proof of SQL: The first co-processor to provide ZK proofs for database queries
- Blitzar: A high-performance ZK proof framework
- Elastic Network ZK Chain: An elastic verification network designed specifically for Space and Time
- Industry standard protocols such as Chainlink DeFi yield index
Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs and co-founder of Space and Time, emphasized:
"We are building the underlying infrastructure that supports future crypto applications. The architecture of Space and Time, along with technologies like Proof of SQL, will propel verifiable data applications into a new phase."
Participating in the Network: An Open, Permissionless Verification Ecosystem
Space and Time adopts a decentralized verification mechanism, allowing any participant to join the network by:
- Providing high-quality datasets;
- Staking tokens to participate in governance;
- Running verification nodes.
About Space and Time
Space and Time is the first ZK-verified data blockchain that enables smart contracts to access and compute any on-chain/off-chain data without trust through Proof of SQL technology. Its sub-second ZK co-processors provide developers with a verifiable data layer, helping to build smarter on-chain applications.
