Space and Time, theMicrosoft-backed blockchain for zero-knowledge (ZK)-proven data, is live on itspublic, permissionless mainnet.

Space and Time is designed to deliver ZK-proven data tosmart contracts to power a new generation of data-driven crypto applications.It indexes data from other major blockchains, including Ethereum, and stores itacross a decentralized network of database validators. Developers can access,query ZK-prove and connect this data back to their smart contract using Proofof SQL, Space and Time’s sub-second ZK coprocessor for SQL database queries.

“Prior to Space and Time, onchain applications had no wayto query basic user data from a database of blockchain activity withoutintroducing security risks and tampering. In addition, enterprises had no wayto securely connect their cloud databases with smart contracts. Today we’rethrilled to announce the mainnet launch of Space and Time, which will empowerdevelopers to build sophisticated, data-driven onchain applications secured bycryptographic proofs,” said Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 at Space andTime.

Smart contracts today can’t natively access historical,cross-chain or offchain data, which limits the complexity of onchain apps.Chainlink pioneered external data access for smart contracts with secureoracles and cross-chain messaging, solving key pieces of the context problem.The next wave of onchain innovation—spanning everything from dynamic financialinstruments to data-rich AI agents and tokenized real-world systems—willrequire a trustless database layer for complex data retrieval. Space and Time enablesthis with a verifiable, decentralized database network that gives smartcontracts the ability to query the full history of Ethereum and beyond.

“Smart contracts need context to make decisions, whetherit’s real-time market data, cross-chain messaging or historical onchainactivity. Chainlink provides the connective tissue for data to move securelyacross systems, and Space and Time brings powerful new compute capabilitiesthat complement that vision. Together, we’re pushing the boundaries of whatdevelopers can build onchain,” said Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink.

Space and Time was created by MakeInfinite Labs, a frontierprotocol research lab that is backed by Microsoft and working alongside majorfinancial institutions. In addition to its work on Space and Time, the firm hasdeveloped key technologies to the broader crypto ecosystem, such as Proof ofSQL, Blitzar, an Elastic Network ZK Chain for Space and Time, and ChainlinkDeFi Yield Index.

“At MakeInfinite Labs, we’re focused on buildingfoundational infrastructure to enable the next generation of cryptoapplications. Contributing core technologies like Proof of SQL and the originalarchitecture of Space and Time is part of that vision. We’re excited to see theecosystem take this work forward and unlock new possibilities for verifiable,data-driven applications,” said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs &Co-Founder of Space and Time.

Space and Time is secured by a decentralized set ofvalidators, and anyone can contribute to the network by providing high-qualitydatasets, staking or running a validator node.

About Space and Time

Space and Time (https://www.spaceandtime.io) is theblockchain for ZK-proven data, which enables smart contracts to trustlesslyaccess and compute over data from any chain or source. Powered by Proof of SQL,a sub-second ZK coprocessor, Space and Time empowers developers to build moreintelligent, data-rich applications with verifiable data.

About MakeInfinite Labs

MakeInfinite Labs is a frontier protocol research labcontributing to some of the most prominent protocols and ecosystems acrosscrypto, including the creation of Space and Time. MakeInfinite Labs raised $50million from Microsoft’s M12 Ventures and other leading investors to build theinfrastructure that enables developers and creators to build data-drivenapplications, tokenize and monetize and win in the AI economy.
