Space and Time has already proven to be a powerhouse when it comes to offering enterprise grade solutions, by powering analytics for Microsoft Azure, Google BigQuery, and top blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. Space and Time leverages enterprise-grade SQL alongside the Avail Stack, unlocking horizontal scalability and cross-chain composability.
Avail serves as the data availability layer for Space and Time’s ZK rollup, ensuring transactions are published, accessible, and verifiable. This removes technical barriers and significantly broadens possibilities for onchain applications.
"We're thrilled to build with Avail as the DA partner for the Elastic Chain rollup that supports SXT Chain. Space and Time is focused on ZK-proving onchain data to smart contracts, and working with Avail allows us to ensure the transactions on the rollup are published, available, and verifiable" Scott Dykstra, Space and Time Co-Founder & CTO
Big Data, Smarter Contracts
Today’s smart contracts operate in isolation, unable to access historical, or offchain data without oracles. This forces developers to simplify logic, limiting what they can achieve.
Space and Time addresses this with Proof of SQL, a ZK-powered system that cryptographically verifies database queries and ensures tamperproof results. Now instead of simplifying functionality or using a limited number of oracles, developers can build self-executing smart contracts that tap into the much broader possibilities enabled by SQL databases, adding advanced logic in the same way that regular applications do today.
The truth is, the most powerful applications in the world rely on SQL databases, yet throughout the history of Web3, smart contract developers have been constrained by limited access to data. That changed today with SXT Chain by Space and Time, now live on Avail, bringing ZK-verified SQL data onchain.
Space and Time's enterprise-ready solution enables developers to build smarter, user-focused applications at web-scale while maintaining blockchain's trustless guarantees. Space and Time enables developers to access historical blockchain data from Ethereum, Bitcoin, ZKsync Era, and other major chains. This can be implemented within smart contracts onchain, while keeping every action cryptographically verified.
"SXT Chain has opened the door to a new phase of smart contract development, where richer and more personalized onchain experiences can flourish at scale." Prabal Banerjee, Avail Co-Founder
Space and Time: The Verifiable Data Layer for Web3
Space and Time represents a phase change in the way off-chain data is accessed by smart contracts. While historically this has relied heavily upon oracles, these offer limited scope and introduce uncertainty around core trust assumptions. This approach is forward-looking, rendering the possibility to incorporate a wide variety of off-chain data using SQL databases with ZK verification. It’s a solution to the off-chain data problem which realistically addresses the needs of modern applications.
Space and Time today offers real-time blockchain data from genesis for major chains, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, ZKsync, Polygon, Sui and Avalanche. The future of verifiable SQL data onchain starts here.
