Space and Time (SxT), a pioneering decentralized database protocol, has secured strategic investment from OKX Ventures. This collaboration highlights the growing convergence of Web3 infrastructure and verifiable computing technologies.
What Makes Space and Time Unique?
Proof of SQL: A Cryptographic Breakthrough
The SxT team developed Proof of SQL, a novel cryptographic technology that:
- Validates query computations cryptographically
- Ensures data accuracy and immutability
- Supports both on-chain and off-chain applications
Impressive Adoption Metrics
Since its March 2023 beta launch:
- Users average 500,000+ monthly queries
- Database requests exceed 5 billion
- Supports Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon, Sui, Aptos and other major chains

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Proof of SQL?
Proof of SQL is a cryptographic method that mathematically proves database queries execute correctly without tampering, creating trustless verification.
How does SxT differ from traditional oracles?
Unlike oracles that simply feed data, SxT provides cryptographic proof that the data processing itself was executed correctly end-to-end.
When will Space and Time launch its testnet?
While no official date is confirmed, OKX Ventures anticipates the testnet launch will occur following successful protocol audits.
Can enterprises use SxT for non-blockchain data?
Yes, the protocol supports both on-chain and conventional off-chain enterprise data with equal cryptographic guarantees.
