The post Space and Time Launches on Mainnet to Power a New Generation of Data-Driven Crypto Apps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

San Francisco, California, May 8th, 2025, FinanceWire Microsoft-backed Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data. Space and Time, the Microsoft-backed blockchain for zero-knowledge (ZK)-proven data, is live on its public, permissionless mainnet.  Space and Time is designed to deliver ZK-proven data to smart contracts to power a new generation of data-driven crypto applications. It indexes data from other major blockchains, including Ethereum, and stores it across a decentralized network of database validators. Developers can access, query ZK-prove and connect this data back to their smart contract using Proof of SQL, Space and Time’s sub-second ZK coprocessor for SQL database queries.  “Prior to Space and Time, onchain applications had no way to query basic user data from a database of blockchain activity without introducing security risks and tampering. In addition, enterprises had no way to securely connect their cloud databases with smart contracts. Today we’re thrilled to announce the mainnet launch of Space and Time, which will empower developers to build sophisticated, data-driven onchain applications secured by cryptographic proofs,” said Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 at Space and Time.  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 secure oracles and cross-chain messaging, solving key pieces of the context problem. The next wave of onchain innovation—spanning everything from dynamic financial instruments to data-rich AI agents and tokenized real-world systems—will require a trustless database layer for complex data retrieval. Space and Time enables this with a verifiable, decentralized database network that gives smart contracts the ability to query the full history of Ethereum and beyond. “Smart contracts need context to make decisions, whether it’s real-time market data, cross-chain messaging or historical onchain activity. Chainlink provides the connective tissue for data to move securely…
