Binance Launchpool & Space and Time
(SXT) – Earn Free Crypto by Staking
Imagine earning a brand-new cryptocurrency token for free just by holding onto the coins you already own. Sounds too good to be true? That’s exactly what Binance Launchpool offers. It’s a platform where Binance users can stake popular assets like BNB (Binance Coin) or stablecoins (such as FDUSD and USDC) and earn newly launched tokens as rewards. In simple terms, you lock up some of your BNB, USDC, or FDUSD for a short period, and Binance “farms” new tokens for you during that time – at no cost other than the opportunity cost of locking your funds. You always retain ownership of your staked coins and can unstake them at any time with no penalties, making Launchpool a low-risk way to earn extra crypto. It’s like getting an airdrop for doing nothing except holding your assets.
The latest project featured on Binance Launchpool is Space and Time (SXT), and it’s generating a lot of excitement. In this article, we’ll start with a quick overview of how Binance Launchpool works and then dive deep into the Space and Time project – what it is, why it’s special, and how its SXT token works. After that, we’ll cover all the key details of the SXT Launchpool farming event (dates, rewards, how to participate), and wrap up with a simple step-by-step guide so you can start earning SXT today.
Let’s get started...
What is Space and Time (SXT)?
Space and Time (SXT) is not your average crypto project. In fact, Binance introduced it as “a Microsoft-backed blockchain for ZK-proven data” – which is a fancy way of saying it’s a blockchain-based system that uses cutting-edge cryptography (zero-knowledge proofs) to guarantee data is accurate. Space and Time is essentially a decentralized data warehouse designed to bridge the gap between blockchains and big data. It allows decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts to access, process, and trust large data sets from both on-chain and off-chain sources.
Put more simply: Space and Time lets developers run SQL queries (the kind of database queries used in the traditional tech world) on data from multiple blockchains and real-world sources, and get the results directly on-chain with a cryptographic proof that the data hasn’t been tampered with. This is achieved through Space and Time’s core innovation called Proof of SQL, a zero-knowledge proof system that can verify that a database query was executed correctly and the result is trustworthy. For example, a smart contract could ask Space and Time: “What’s the average price of Bitcoin in the last 7 days according to a reliable off-chain database?” and get the answer on-chain along with a proof that the calculation is correct. Prior to projects like this, blockchains couldn’t easily do such data-heavy or off-chain queries without relying on centralized oracles or trust – Space and Time changes that by providing trustless, real-time data processing for crypto applications.
Core Use Cases and Technology
Space and Time’s technology unlocks a range of use cases across the crypto and Web3 industry:
● Complex DeFi Analytics:
DeFi applications can query historical and cross-chain data (like prices, trading volumes, yield rates, etc.) in real-time to build more sophisticated financial products. For instance, a decentralized exchange could use Space and Time to aggregate liquidity data from multiple chains without needing a centralized server. Smart contracts can perform cross-chain data aggregation and real-time financial modeling directly, which was previously not feasible.
● Gaming and NFTs:
Blockchain games and NFT platforms often need to handle large amounts of data (player stats, game events, item metadata) which might be stored off-chain for efficiency. Space and Time allows these applications to fetch off-chain game data on-demand with a proof of authenticity. This could enable dynamic NFTs (that update based on external data) or fair gameplay that’s verifiable on-chain.
● Enterprise and Web2 Data Integration:
Space and Time acts as a hybrid bridge between Web2 and Web3 data. Enterprises could use it to connect their traditional databases (even something like a SQL server or IoT data stream) to smart contracts. For example, a supply chain smart contract could query a corporate database for inventory levels, with Space and Time ensuring the query result is provably legitimate.
● AI and Web3 Applications:
The project even talks about verifiable AI integrations, like Verifiable LLMs (Large Language Models). This means AI systems could use Space and Time to fetch training data or prompts and then provide an audit trail on-chain. While still an emerging idea, it shows the scope: everything from DeFi to AI can benefit from verifiable data.
● Indexed Data from Multiple Blockchains:
Right out of the gate, Space and Time’s network indexes data from major chains including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon, zkSync, Sui, Avalanche and more. Developers can query across these different chains in one unified way. This interoperability is a big deal – it’s like a one-stop database for blockchain data, instead of checking each chain’s explorer separately.
How does it achieve all this? Space and Time’s network is run by decentralized validator nodes that do the heavy lifting: they pull in blockchain data, store it, and answer queries from users, all while producing cryptographic proofs. Developers interact with Space and Time through familiar tools – a SQL-based interface and APIs/SDKs – so you don’t have to learn a new programming language. There’s even an AI-powered assistant in their dashboard that can translate natural language to SQL queries, making it user-friendly. All queries executed through Space and Time come with a succinct zk-SNARK proof (the Proof of SQL) that can be verified by anyone. This means a smart contract can trust the data without needing to trust the data provider, because the proof mathematically guarantees the result is correct and based on an immutable data source.
In short, Space and Time is building the data layer for Web3 – a trustless way to handle big data, analytics, and computations that traditional blockchains alone cannot do. By doing so, it contributes to the Web3 industry in a foundational way: enabling a new class of dApps that are data-driven but still decentralized and secure. As Binance’s research analysis put it, Space and Time’s ability to let smart contracts perform sophisticated analytics without central intermediaries positions it as “a foundational pillar for the next wave of Web3 innovation”.
On the partnership front, Space and Time is closely linked with Chainlink, the leading decentralized oracle network. In September 2022, Space and Time joined the Chainlink BUILD program, which is a collaboration initiative to accelerate adoption of projects that complement Chainlink’s ecosystem. This partnership makes sense: Chainlink provides real-world data to blockchains, and Space and Time can enhance that data with complex queries and verification. In fact, Space and Time is the first project to launch a token through Chainlink’s new Community Rewards program, allocating 4% of its token supply to reward Chainlink community members (like LINK stakers) with SXT airdrops – more on that in the tokenomics section.
Space and Time has also formed alliances or integrations with several major players in tech and crypto. It has been working with Microsoft Azure (one of the world’s largest cloud providers) to make its services available to Azure customers. It’s integrated with Google BigQuery (Google’s big data analytics platform) in some capacity, indicating an overlap with traditional cloud data tools. And within crypto, projects like Sui (a Layer-1 blockchain) and zkSync (Layer-2 scaling solution) are either building with Space and Time or have plans to utilize its data services. Not to mention Chainlink itself, as well as other blockchain ecosystems like Ethereum, Polygon, etc., that benefit from Space and Time’s data indexing. This broad network of partnerships suggests that Space and Time is not operating in a vacuum – it’s being looked at as a complementary infrastructure that many others in the industry can leverage.
SXT Tokenomics: What You Should Know
Like most blockchain projects, Space and Time has its own native token, SXT, which lies at the heart of its ecosystem. Here’s a breakdown of SXT’s tokenomics – its supply, distribution, and utility:
● Total Supply: SXT has a fixed total supply of 5,000,000,000 tokens (5 billion). There are no plans to mint more, so this is the maximum amount of SXT that will ever exist.
● Initial Circulating Supply: Upon its launch and Binance listing in May 2025, the initial circulating supply was about 1.4 billion SXT, which is 28% of the total supply. This means a little over a quarter of all SXT tokens are liquid and in the hands of the community from day one, while the rest are held in various allocations (to be released over time).
● Binance Launchpool Allocation: As part of the launch, 2.5% of the total supply (125,000,000 SXT) was allocated as rewards for the Binance Launchpool event. These tokens are being distributed to users who stake BNB, FDUSD, or USDC during the farming period (we’ll detail the Launchpool specifics in the next section).
● Chainlink Community Airdrop: Space and Time is also airdropping SXT to eligible Chainlink users via the Chainlink Rewards program. Specifically, 4% of the supply (200 million SXT) is set aside for Chainlink community rewards. Half of that (100 million) became claimable at the token launch (Season Genesis on May 8, 2025) for LINK stakers, with another 100 million in a future round. This is a significant airdrop aimed at bootstrapping a community of users and supporters around SXT.
● Community and Ecosystem: In total, over half of SXT’s supply is designated for community-centric distribution. According to project sources, 51.7% of the tokens are allocated to the community through various means – this includes things like the Launchpool rewards, airdrops, staking incentives, grants for developers, liquidity mining, etc. For example, out of the 51.7%, about 28% (1.4 billion) is earmarked specifically for rewards and incentives to grow the ecosystem. This large community allocation is a positive sign for those who plan to use or earn SXT, because it means the majority of tokens are intended to be distributed over time to participants, rather than being concentrated with founders or investors.
● Team and Investors: The remaining portion (approximately 48.3% of the supply) covers the team, advisors, and early investors. These tokens are typically locked and vested over multiple years. While exact vesting details can vary, Binance Research noted that team and investor tokens often have an initial 12-month lockup and then vest over 2–3 years. This kind of schedule helps prevent a sudden flood of supply and aligns the team/investors with the long-term success of the project. In other words, the people who built and funded the project can’t immediately dump their tokens; they have incentives to continue building value over time.
● Utility of SXT: What is SXT actually used for? First and foremost, network security and operations. Validators in the Space and Time network likely need to stake SXT to run nodes that index data and execute queries. This staking acts as a bond; if a validator misbehaves, their SXT stake can be slashed, which keeps the network honest. In return for doing work (processing queries, storing data, generating proofs), validators earn SXT rewards – so the token incentivizes people to contribute computing resources. SXT is also used as a payment token within the Space and Time ecosystem. If a developer or a company wants to use the Space and Time data warehouse for a lot of queries or data storage, they would pay fees in SXT (similar to how one pays gas fees in ETH for Ethereum). This creates demand for the token based on usage of the network’s services. Additionally, the project has mentioned potential governance rights – meaning SXT holders might be able to vote on proposals, such as protocol upgrades or parameter changes, in the future. Lastly, SXT is a reward for various contributions: for example, not just validators, but also those who publish useful datasets or build on the platform could be rewarded in SXT, aligning everyone’s incentives to grow the ecosystem.
Binance Launchpool: Space and Time (SXT) Farming Event Details
Now, let’s focus on the Binance Launchpool event for SXT – this is how you can earn SXT tokens for free by staking on Binance. Binance Launchpool events are usually short-lived opportunities around the time a new token is listed, and SXT is no exception. Here are the key details you need to know about the SXT farming event on Launchpool:
● Farming Period (Start and End Dates): The SXT Launchpool runs for a very limited time – 48 hours in total. It started on May 6, 2025 at 00:00 UTC and ends on May 8, 2025 at 00:00 UTC. In other words, from the very beginning of May 6th until the very beginning of May 8th, users can farm SXT. After that, no more SXT can be earned via Launchpool (and trading of SXT on Binance begins). Make sure to note the time zone (UTC) – depending on your local time, this might be different (for example, it was May 6 morning in Europe/Asia and May 5 evening in the Americas when it started).
● Supported Staking Assets: BNB, FDUSD, and USDC are the three assets you can stake in order to farm SXT. Binance provides three separate “pools” for SXT farming: one pool for BNB stakers, one for FDUSD stakers, and one for USDC stakers. You can choose one or even all of these pools to participate in, depending on which of these assets you hold. (FDUSD, for those unfamiliar, is a USD-pegged stablecoin supported on Binance, similar to BUSD or USDT. USDC is a popular USD stablecoin. BNB is Binance’s native coin.)
● Total Rewards Pool: Binance is distributing a total of 125,000,000 SXT through Launchpool for this event. This amount represents 2.5% of the entire SXT supply. These tokens are coming from the project’s allocation (as mentioned in tokenomics) specifically to engage Binance users. Essentially, 125 million SXT is the pie that all participants will be sharing proportional to their stake.
● Pool Allocation Breakdown: The 125 million SXT rewards are split among the three staking pools in a fixed proportion:
○ BNB Pool – 85% of rewards: This pool has 106,250,000 SXT set aside for BNB stakers. BNB is usually the most popular asset in Launchpools (since many Binance users hold BNB), so it gets the lion’s share of the rewards.
○ USDC Pool – 10% of rewards: This pool offers 12,500,000 SXT maximum to those staking USDC.
○ FDUSD Pool – 5% of rewards: The FDUSD stakers share 6,250,000 SXT in total.
● These percentages (85/10/5) mean that if you want the highest potential yield, the BNB pool has more SXT up for grabs – however, it’s also likely to attract more stakers (more competition). The stablecoin pools have smaller allocations, but if fewer people stake there, your share could be larger. It’s up to each user to decide where to stake, and you can even split your assets across pools.
● Earning Calculation & Distribution: How do you actually get the SXT from staking? Binance calculates Launchpool rewards every hour based on the proportion of the pool you contributed. Essentially, at any given hour, if you hold X% of the total BNB staked in the BNB pool, you will get X% of that hour’s SXT distribution for the BNB pool. The rewards accrue continuously. There is also an hourly cap per user to prevent any single user from farming an outsized amount in a short time. For SXT:
○ The maximum a single user can earn in one hour is 221,354 SXT from the BNB pool.
○ For the USDC pool, the cap is 26,040 SXT per hour per user.
○ For the FDUSD pool, the cap is 13,020 SXT per hour per user.
● These are very high caps that only whales might hit (for reference, 221k SXT was roughly a big chunk of the hourly BNB pool distribution). Average users don’t need to worry about hitting the cap; it’s just there to keep things fair. Your actual SXT earnings will depend on how much you stake and for how long, relative to the total pool. If you stake more or stake early (for the full 48 hours), you’ll earn more SXT. If you stake a smaller amount or only later in the period, you’ll earn less. The good thing is Binance shows the real-time APY (annualized percentage yield) for each pool on the Launchpool page, so you can get an idea of the yield at that moment. Do note that APY will fluctuate as more people join or leave the pool – the more people staking, the lower the APY (since the fixed rewards are shared by more folks).
● Claiming Rewards: One of the nice features of Launchpool is that you can claim your earned tokens at any time during the event. As SXT rewards accumulate hour by hour, they are made available for you to claim directly into your spot wallet. There’s no requirement to wait till the end. You could, for example, check after 5 hours and click “Claim” to sweep the SXT you earned so far into your account (and you can do this multiple times). If you prefer not to micro-manage, that’s fine too – any unclaimed SXT will automatically be credited to your account at the end of the farming period. So either way, you won’t lose the rewards. It’s more a matter of preference (instant gratification vs. set-and-forget). Claiming does not unstake your assets; it just moves the reward. Your BNB/USDC/FDUSD stay staked until you choose to unstake.
● Unstaking and Flexibility: Binance Launchpool doesn’t lock you in. You are free to unstake (unlock) your tokens at any time during the event. There’s no penalty orwaiting period – you can instantly withdraw your staked BNB, USDC, or FDUSD back to your spot wallet whenever you want. However, keep in mind that if your assets are not staked, they’re not earning rewards. Some people might unstake early if, say, they want to trade their BNB or use it elsewhere, but otherwise it usually makes sense to keep them staked for the full duration to maximize SXT earnings. Also note, if you use Binance’s other Earn programs (like BNB Vault or Simple Earn flexible products), Binance will automatically count those deposits toward Launchpool farming as well – meaning you might already be earning SXT without doing anything extra, as long as your BNB was in a flexible savings product (this is a nifty feature where Binance doesn’t make you choose between Earn programs).
● Farming Limits: Aside from the hourly per-user cap mentioned above, there aren’t specific individual limits – you can stake as much as you want (subject to what you have). There is a minimum stake of 0.01 of any token (BNB, USDC, or FDUSD) to participate, which is a negligible amount. This means even small holders can join in. Large holders will just be bounded by the fact that if they stake an enormous amount, they might hit that hourly reward cap.
● SXT Listing and Trading: The climax of a Launchpool event is the token’s listing on Binance. In this case, Binance listed SXT on May 8, 2025 at 13:00 UTC on its spot exchange. Once listed, SXT became available to trade in multiple pairs: SXT/USDT, SXT/BNB, SXT/USDC, SXT/FDUSD, and SXT/TRY (Turkish Lira). For Launchpool participants, this meant that just 13 hours after farming ended, they could, if they wished, sell or trade the SXT they had earned – effectively realizing that “free money.” Of course, one could also hold the SXT as a long-term investment if they believe in the project. But it’s good to know that liquidity and trading access were immediate once farming was done. Binance even allowed SXT trading on its innovation zone (Binance Alpha) a bit earlier for experienced users, but for most, the main listing time was when the market opened.
In summary,
the SXT Launchpool event is a quick, two-day opportunity to farm a new token with very little risk. Stake BNB, USDC, or FDUSD, earn your share of 125 million SXT over 48 hours, and then you can either hold those SXT or trade them after May 8 when the token goes live on the exchange. It’s essentially an airdrop via staking. If you already hold BNB or stablecoins on Binance, it’s a no-brainer to put them into the Launchpool during this period because you’re getting free SXT on top of your normal holdings (and you continue to enjoy usual BNB benefits like launchpad eligibility and VIP level, even while staking). Just remember that Launchpool events are short – missing the window means you miss the rewards. In this case, after May 7, the farming closed, and any SXT beyond that you’d have to buy on the market.
