Space And Time Goes Live On Mainnet To Support Next Generation Of Data-Driven Crypto Apps
In Brief
Space and Time, blockchain infrastructure focused on ZK-verified data has launched its public permissionless mainnet.
Blockchain infrastructure focused on zero-knowledge (ZK)-verified data, Space and Time announced that it has launched its public, permissionless mainnet.
The platform is built to support smart contracts by delivering ZK-verified data, enabling the development of data-centric blockchain applications. It aggregates and indexes information from prominent blockchains such as Ethereum and distributes it across a decentralized system of database validators. Using its proprietary Proof of SQL technology—a sub-second ZK coprocessor for SQL queries—developers can query, verify, and link data directly to their smart contracts.
“Prior to Space and Time, onchain applications had no way to query basic user data from a database of blockchain activity without introducing security risks and tampering,” said Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 at Space and Time, in a written statement. “In addition, enterprises had no way to securely connect their cloud databases with smart contracts. Today we’re thrilled to announce the mainnet launch of Space and Time, which will empower developers to build sophisticated, data-driven onchain applications secured by cryptographic proofs,” he added.
Space And Time Offers Decentralized Database System To Expand Smart Contract Access To Historical, Cross-Chain, And Offchain Data
Smart contracts currently lack the ability to directly access historical, cross-chain, or offchain data, which constrains the development of more advanced onchain applications. Future advancements in the blockchain space—including those involving adaptive financial tools, data-intensive AI models, and tokenized real-world assets—are expected to rely on a decentralized and trustless database infrastructure capable of complex data access. Space and Time addresses this need through a verifiable, decentralized database system that allows smart contracts to retrieve complete historical data from Ethereum and other blockchain networks.
The platform was developed by MakeInfinite Labs, a protocol research organization supported by Microsoft and collaborating with prominent financial entities. Beyond its work on Space and Time, the organization has introduced several foundational technologies to the cryptocurrency industry, including Proof of SQL, Blitzar, an Elastic Network ZK Chain tailored for Space and Time, and the Chainlink DeFi Yield Index.
“At MakeInfinite Labs, we’re focused on building foundational infrastructure to enable the next generation of crypto applications,” said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs and Co-Founder of Space and Time, in a written statement. “Contributing core technologies like Proof of SQL and the original architecture of Space and Time is part of that vision. We’re excited to see the ecosystem take this work forward and unlock new possibilities for verifiable, data-driven applications,” he added.
Space and Time operates on a decentralized validator system, where participation is open to contributors who provide verified datasets, stake tokens, or operate validator nodes to help maintain the integrity and security of the network.
