Space and Time, a Microsoft-supported zero-knowledge proof data blockchain, has now launched its mainnet. Space and Time aims to provide ZK-proven data for smart contracts to drive the next generation of data-driven crypto applications. It indexes data from major blockchains, including Ethereum, and stores it in a decentralized database validator network. Developers can use Proof of SQL to access, query ZK proofs, and connect this data back to their smart contracts, which is the sub-second ZK co-processor that Space and Time provides for SQL database queries.
"Before Space and Time, on-chain applications could not query basic user data from blockchain activity databases without introducing security risks and tampering. Additionally, enterprises could not securely connect their cloud databases to smart contracts. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Space and Time's mainnet, which will enable developers to build complex data-driven on-chain applications and secure them through cryptographic proofs," said Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 of Space and Time.
Current smart contracts cannot natively access historical, cross-chain, or off-chain data, which limits the complexity of on-chain applications. The next wave of on-chain innovation—covering everything from dynamic financial instruments to data-rich AI agents and tokenized real-world systems—will require a trustless database layer for complex data retrieval. Space and Time enables smart contracts to query the complete history of Ethereum and other chains through a verifiable decentralized database network.
Space and Time was created by MakeInfinite Labs, a cutting-edge protocol research laboratory supported by Microsoft and collaborating with major financial institutions. In addition to their work on Space and Time, the company has developed many key technologies to support the broader crypto ecosystem, such as Proof of SQL, Blitzar (Space and Time's elastic network ZK chain), and the Chainlink DeFi Yield Index.
"At MakeInfinite Labs, we focus on building infrastructure to support the next generation of crypto applications. Contributing core technologies like Proof of SQL and the original architecture of Space and Time is part of our vision. We look forward to seeing the ecosystem advance this work and unlock new possibilities for verifiable, data-driven applications," said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs and co-founder of Space and Time.
Space and Time is secured by a group of decentralized validators, and anyone can contribute to the network by providing high-quality datasets, staking, or running validator nodes.
About Space and Time
Space and Time is a blockchain for ZK proof data that enables smart contracts to access and compute data from any chain or source in a trustless manner. With Proof of SQL, a sub-second ZK co-processor, Space and Time empowers developers to build smarter, data-rich applications and provide verifiable data.
