Los Angeles, CA – August, 2nd 2023 – Space and Time, a leader in decentralized data, is proud to announce the launch of Proof of SQL: a novel zero-knowledge proof for queries. With the release of Proof of SQL, Space and Time customers can now compose data-driven dapps and business processes with verifiable data and compute.

The novel zk-proof generates a SNARK cryptographic proof of query execution in Space and Time’s decentralized data network, proving that the query result is accurate and hasn’t been manipulated. This opens up a wealth of new use cases for provable, transparent and verifiable on-chain and off-chain data.

“The convergence of tamperproof data, advanced computing capabilities, and data-driven decision-making has the potential to unlock new levels of innovation, efficiency and user satisfaction across financial services, retail, healthcare, gaming and any vertical integrating blockchain technology. We believe that data will enhance the interoperability between the on-chain and off-chain ecosystems, fostering greater collaboration between decentralized and traditional systems,” said Jay White, Co-Founder and Head of Research at Space and Time.

Proof of SQL allows enterprises to guarantee that the data powering their business hasn’t been manipulated and introduces transparency to business processes built on SQL. This is especially useful in industries where monetary value is directly tied to data, such as financial services.

Proof of SQL also provides the framework for verifying that large language models (LLMs) were trained on accurate, tamperproof data. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into business processes, transparency is key to ensuring that it’s applied responsibly. With the alpha release of Proof of SQL, Space and Time is laying the foundation for a verifiable AI-powered future.

By cryptographically verifying that data hasn’t been manipulated, Proof of SQL enables applications to run a query in the Space and Time data warehouse and roll up the result to a smart contract without breaking the zero-trust model of blockchain. Proof of SQL will enable a new generation of data-driven dapps built on sophisticated business logic, including a credit-scoring protocol that utilizes tamperproof data to generate on-chain credit scores.

“We’re excited to be one of the first protocols using Proof of SQL as a gas-efficient way to verify tamperproof credit scores on-chain,” said Joshua Gottlieb, Founder of Lendvest, a protocol that calculates an on-chain credit score based on a user’s on-chain and off-chain financial activity. “Lendvest leverages Proof of SQL to prove that each credit score is verifiable, was calculated correctly, and is tied to the right wallet address.”

About Space and Time
Space and Time is the first AI-powered decentralized data warehouse that joins tamperproof on-chain and off-chain data to deliver enterprise use cases to smart contracts. Space and Time has developed a novel cryptography called Proof of SQL℠ that allows developers to connect analytics directly to smart contracts, opening up a wealth of powerful new use cases and business logic on blockchain technology. Space and Time is built from the ground up as a multichain data platform for developers in financial services, gaming, DeFi, or any project requiring verifiable data across enterprise, blockchain and AI.

About Lendvest
Lendvest is aggregating on-chain lending data to create a verifiable credit score for DeFi protocols. Powered by Chainlink, Lendvest is becoming the most decentralized credit scoring protocol. This credit system would allow decentralized lending platforms to algorithmically gauge the risk profile of an individual user, resulting in higher risk-adjusted returns for the platform and optimal terms for the user.
