Space and Time $SXT ā A HUGE LAUNCH
On May 8th, Space and Time $SXT was listed as the 69th Binance Launchpool project ā doing something thatās both unsexy and absolutely essential that is giving smart contracts access to reliable, verifiable data ā at scale.
HOW IT WORKS?
Most crypto projects tend to pitch themselves as the next big thing. Space and Time isnāt really doing that.
Itās a decentralized data warehouse built for developers who need to query large datasets ā onchain, offchain, cross-chain ā and get cryptographic proof that the answers are accurate
Thatās it!
If youāre building something onchain and need to ask, how many people interacted with this contract in the past week?
OR
Whatās the volume of this token over time?
Youād usually need to rely on a centralized indexer or oracle. That introduces trust, latency, and limitations.
Space and Time offers a way to ask those questions and actually trust the answer ā with a ZK-proof attached to the result, so the data can be used directly by smart contracts.
That may not sound flashy, but itās something developers run into all the time. This protocol is quietly filling that gap.
THE MICROSOFT ENTRY:
Letās clear something up ā Microsoft didnāt just give them a quote and call it a day.
- Back in 2022, they led a $20M strategic round into the team behind Space and Time.
- Then in 2024, they participated in another $20M Series A, showing they werenāt just passing through.
- Theyāve also integrated Space and Time directly into Azure, so developers already in enterprise environments can start pulling from verifiable blockchain data without switching stacks.
The best part of this project?
The ecosystem is growing ā through actual usage!
Some of the names involved arenāt just impressive ā theyāre relevant:
1- Fidelity and US Bank are either experimenting with or integrating data layers from Space and Time.
2- Google BigQuery added support for Proof of SQL, allowing cryptographically verified query results inside their data tools.
3- Theyāre not replacing oracles like Chainlinkātheyāre working with them, delivering verified query results through Chainlinkās infrastructure.
And on the developer side, things are starting to move:
1- Their GitHub has close to 50 active contributors working on Proof of SQL, which is the core of the whole system.
2- Teams building on ZKsync, Sui, and other networks are integrating Space and Time to power dashboards, AI models, and analytics.
JUST REAL TRACTION HERE!
BUT WHY THE PROOF OF SQL IS WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO?
This is the heart of what makes Space and Time different.
- Most blockchain data platforms give you APIs
- Some give you fast queries
- A few give you indexed multi-chain access.
But very few give you all that plus cryptographic proof that the query result hasnāt been tampered with.
Proof of SQL does that:
āø It turns SQL queries into ZK-proven outputs
āø It can query up to 600k rows in under a sec
āø The proof is small enough to be verified by a smart contract
This means developers can automate decisions based on real, historical dataāwithout having to worry about whether the query was manipulated along the way.
THE MOST USABLE TOOLS
One of the reasons Space and Time is flying under the radar is because itās already usable ā and most people donāt realize it.
āø Developers can pull indexed data from Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, ZKsync, Sui, even Bitcoin.
āø Thereās an AI assistant that translates natural language into SQL, which is helpful for less technical users.
āø The query results can be routed onchain through Chainlink Functions, so you can build apps that run off of real-time, verifiable data feeds.
For people building apps, that matters more than any whitepaper ever will.
$SXT TOKEN ā BUILT INTO THE SYSTEM NOT TRACKED ON
ā Validators need to stake $SXT to participate in the network
ā They get slashed for bad behavior or downtime
ā The ZK proofs are signed by staked validatorsāso the strength of the proof is tied to economic incentives
Itās a clean design.
The token secures the data pipeline, rather than trying to be a currency or governance tool first.
Token breakdown:
āø Total Supply: 5 billion
āø Community: ~51.7%
āø Team: ~22.4%
āø Investors: ~25.9%
Thereās also a retroactive reward pool (7.5% of supply) thatās going live from day one.
THIS LAUNCH ACTUALLY MATTERS!
Thereās a lot going on in crypto. Restaking, new chains, AI overlays, yield games. Itās easy to miss the stuff thatās actually useful under the hood.
Space and Time isnāt trying to be trendy. Itās trying to solve a very real problem:
1- How do smart contracts interact with complex data, reliably?
2- How do developers get answers they can actually trust?
3- And how can all of this be done without adding centralized bottlenecks?
It answers those questions with tech that works and partnerships that actually matter. No hype. No inflated promises.
And now itās launching with Binance backing.
NOT LOUD, JUST SOLID š„
