Space and Time introduced the industry’s first sub-second ZK coprocessor. Proof of SQL allows smart contracts to run analytic queries over massive datasets sub-second and verify the results onchain within block time. Unlike general-purpose zkVMs, Proof of SQL is optimized for SQL performance, proving 600k+ rows in under a second and scaling to hundreds of millions of rows in under a minute. This enables smart contracts to access the full data history of Ethereum and other popular chains, run complex computations over the data, and verify the results onchain. Space and Time is the first trustless database, combining the verifiability required by smart contracts at the scale and performance required to power apps. Space and Time’s economic model is designed to sustain a decentralized, permissionless ecosystem that rewards participants for contributing high-quality datasets, securing cryptographically-tamperproof tables, and delivering sub-second ZK proofs to clients on popular chains. The SXT token underpins network security by requiring validators to stake in order to participate in consensus, with slashing penalties for dishonest behavior. Every SQL query and ZK proof run in the network is anchored to a data commitment signed by a quorum of staked validators, tying the integrity of query results directly to economic risk.
