Space and Time, a blockchain platform focusing on zero-knowledge (ZK) data verification, announced the official launch of its mainnet. As a new infrastructure open to developers, Space and Time aims to provide trusted data support for smart contracts and accelerate the implementation of the next generation of data-driven Web3 applications.
In traditional blockchain architecture, smart contracts cannot access off-chain, historical or cross-chain data, which greatly limits the complexity and interactivity of on-chain applications. Space and Time provides a new solution - through a decentralized database verification network, it integrates data from mainstream public chains such as Ethereum, and uses the core technology Proof of SQL (a sub-second zero-knowledge database coprocessor) to perform ZK verification on the data query process, ensuring the security, verifiability and trustlessness of data calls.
Scott Dykstra, co-founder and core contributor of Space and Time, said:
Before the emergence of Space and Time, on-chain applications often faced tampering risks or security risks when calling user data from the database. At the same time, traditional enterprises were unable to securely connect their cloud databases to the blockchain system. The launch of the Space and Time mainnet provides developers with a new ability to build more complex, data-driven, and cryptographically secure on-chain applications.
As on-chain innovation continues to develop, including dynamic financial products, AI-driven smart agents, and real-world assets (RWA) on-chain applications, the market has put forward higher requirements for trusted data calls. Space and Time was born in this context, providing underlying support to break through the trust barrier between on-chain contracts and external data.
The project was launched by MakeInfinite Labs , a cutting-edge protocol RD organization, which has received first-tier capital support from Microsoft M12 Fund and other institutions. In addition to Space and Time itself, MakeInfinite Labs has also launched a number of key technology products, including Proof of SQL, Blitzar , Elastic Network , and the DeFi Yield Index launched in cooperation with Chainlink , which continues to promote the development of the entire Web3 ecosystem.
Nate Holiday, co-founder and CEO of MakeInfinite Labs, said:
We are focused on building the core infrastructure needed for the next generation of cryptographic applications. Proof of SQL and Space and Time architecture are the embodiment of this strategic vision. We hope that through the open use of these technologies, we can inspire the birth of more verifiable, data-driven applications.
Space and Time adopts a decentralized node architecture, and anyone can participate in the ecological construction by providing high-quality data sets, staking tokens or running nodes.
Project Introduction
Space and Time is the worlds first blockchain platform designed specifically for ZK data verification, enabling smart contracts to securely and trustlessly access information from any chain or external data source. Its core technology, Proof of SQL, is a sub-second ZK database coprocessor that helps developers build smarter, richer, and more trusted data-based blockchain applications.
