Microsoft-Backed “Space and Time” Mainnet Goes Live — ZK Data Just Got Onchain

Sat May 10 2025
Space and Time, supported by Microsoft, launches its permissionless mainnet, delivering zero-knowledge-proven SQL data to smart contracts. It's a new era for data-secure onchain dApps.

🚀 The First ZK-Proven SQL for Smart Contracts Is Here

Space and Time, the Microsoft-backed Web3 data platform, just flipped the switch: its public, permissionless mainnet is live. And with it, developers can now inject cryptographically verified SQL data directly into smart contracts.

That’s not just a flex — it's a serious leap for blockchain infrastructure.

At the heart of this launch is Proof of SQL, a zero-knowledge coprocessor that lets apps prove their data queries on-chain without exposing the data itself. Think AI meets Web3, but actually usable.

“We’re unlocking data-driven dApps secured by cryptographic proofs,” said Scott Dykstra, co-founder and tech lead at Space and Time. “No more unverified APIs. No more compromised user data. This is trustless compute — for real.”


🔍 Why It’s a Big Deal: Secure Data Meets Smart Contracts

Until now, Web3 builders had two bad choices: rely on centralized APIs for external data, or jam all computation on-chain (slow + expensive). Space and Time breaks the compromise:

  • ✅ Verifiable data from Ethereum and beyond
  • ✅ Decentralized database validators
  • ✅ ZK-proofed queries via SQL
  • ✅ Fully on-chain results, no middleware trust needed

Whether you're building AI agents, real-world asset protocols, or prediction markets — data integrity is now verifiable at the source.


🧱 Built for Builders — and the Ecosystem

The mainnet launch isn’t just about tech — it’s about access. Anyone can now:

  • 📡 Query blockchain history with Proof of SQL
  • 📦 Upload and verify external datasets
  • 🥩 Stake assets and contribute to validation

And yes, it’s all permissionless. No gatekeeping. No corporate choke points.

“We’re laying the foundation for crypto’s next era,” said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs and Space and Time co-founder. “That means open infrastructure, real-time data, and cryptographic security.”


📊 Meanwhile, ETH Is Testing Key Levels

While the data layer gets an upgrade, Ethereum’s price is heating up. According to MakroVision:

  • 🔺 ETH rallied +77% off 1,400 lows
  • 💥 Now pressing against resistance at 2,465
  • 🛑 Support zones to watch: 2,145 and 1,944
  • 📈 Break above 2,465? Analysts see a clear path to higher targets

Market watchers are now eyeing on-chain data use cases like Space and Time as potential value unlocks for Ethereum’s L2 and AI-linked narrative.


🧠 TL;DR

  • Space and Time launches its mainnet, backed by Microsoft
  • Developers can now push ZK-proven SQL data directly into smart contracts
  • The platform indexes Ethereum and other chains, offering trustless data access
  • ETH price rallies toward resistance — eyes on 2,465
  • Web3 data just went permissionless — and on-chain apps will never be the same

Ready for trustless data infrastructure? The mainnet’s live. The future is queryable.
