Microsoft-Backed Space and Time Is Now Live – And It Could Change Web3 Forever
A bold step forward in blockchain infrastructure has arrived with the launch of Space and Time's public mainnet, opening the doors to smarter, more complex crypto applications powered by verifiable data.
The project—developed by MakeInfinite Labs and supported by tech giant Microsoft—is redefining how smart contracts interact with data.
Historically, blockchain apps have struggled to access reliable offchain and cross-chain data without compromising security or decentralization. Space and Time tackles this limitation by offering a decentralized data layer secured through zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography. Its core innovation, dubbed Proof of SQL, enables smart contracts to run trustless database queries across blockchain histories and external sources—something previously out of reach.
The protocol indexes and stores blockchain data, including from Ethereum, across a network of validators. This allows developers to query historical data with cryptographic proof, feeding insights directly into smart contracts without relying on centralized oracles or middleware.
“Most smart contracts today operate in a data vacuum,” explained one of the project’s co-founders. “Our network turns that vacuum into a verifiable database engine, unlocking applications we’ve only theorized about until now.”

Space and Time’s architecture has the potential to support everything from dynamic DeFi instruments to real-world asset tokenization and onchain AI agents. Developers can now build data-driven logic into contracts without fearing manipulation or data tampering.
MakeInfinite Labs, the team behind the protocol, has also contributed tools like Blitzar—a ZK chain scaling system—and collaborated with major institutions on infrastructure development. With financial backing from Microsoft’s venture arm and other top-tier investors, the firm is aiming to establish the groundwork for the next evolution of Web3 applications.
The Space and Time mainnet is open to all, with opportunities for developers, data providers, and node operators to participate. As the crypto industry shifts toward more utility-driven use cases, this launch represents a timely and ambitious move toward a more data-native blockchain future.
