San Francisco, California, May 8, 2025, Chainwire
Supported by Microsoft, Space and Time, a blockchain focused on zero-knowledge proof (ZK) data, has launched its public, permissionless mainnet. Space and Time aims to provide ZK proof data for smart contracts, facilitating the development of the next generation of data-driven crypto applications. It can index data from other major blockchains, including Ethereum, and store it in a decentralized network of database validators. Developers can use Space and Time's SQL database to query sub-second ZK co-processors—Proof of SQL—to access, query ZK proof data, and connect it back to their smart contracts.
"Before Space and Time, on-chain applications could not query basic user data from blockchain activity databases without introducing security risks and the potential for tampering. Additionally, enterprises could not securely connect their cloud databases to smart contracts. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of the Space and Time mainnet, which will enable developers to build complex, data-driven on-chain applications and ensure security through cryptographic proofs," said Space and Time contributor #001 Scott Dykstra.
Current smart contracts cannot natively access historical, cross-chain, or off-chain data, which limits the complexity of on-chain applications. Chainlink has pioneered external data access for smart contracts through secure oracles and cross-chain messaging, addressing critical contextual issues. 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 trusted database layer to enable complex data retrieval. Space and Time achieves this through a verifiable decentralized database network, allowing smart contracts to query the complete historical data of Ethereum and other blockchains.
"Smart contracts need context to make decisions, whether it's real-time market data, cross-chain messaging, or historical on-chain activity. Chainlink provides the connective tissue for the secure flow of data between systems, while Space and Time brings powerful new computational capabilities to complement this vision. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of what developers can build on-chain," said Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov.
Space and Time was created by MakeInfinite Labs, a cutting-edge protocol research lab supported by Microsoft and collaborating with major financial institutions. In addition to the work on Space and Time, the company is also developing key technologies for the broader crypto ecosystem, such as Proof of SQL, Blitzar (Space and Time's resilient network ZK chain), and the Chainlink DeFi Yield Index.
"At MakeInfinite Labs, we focus on building the 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 are excited to see the ecosystem advance this work, unlocking 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 protected 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, enabling smart contracts to access and compute data from any chain or source in a trustless manner. With the Proof of SQL sub-second ZK co-processor, Space and Time empowers developers to build smarter, data-rich verifiable data applications.
