Proof of SQL is orders of magnitude faster than
state-of-the-art zkVMs and coprocessors.
Space and Time (SxT), the Verifiable Compute Layer for AI x
Blockchain, today released Proof of SQL, a high
performance zero-knowledge prover for processing data, on
GitHub.
Proof of SQL is a novel ZK proof developed by SxT, which
cryptographically guarantees that SQL database queries were
computed accurately against untampered data. Using Proof of SQL,
developers can compute over both onchain and offchain datasets in a
trustless manner, proving the result back to their smart contract
just-in-time during a transaction to power more sophisticated DeFi
protocols with data-driven smart contracts.
“Space and Time is thrilled to lead Web3 into a new era of
data-driven smart contracts and the next generation of DeFi,” said
Jay White, PhD, Co-Founder and Head of Research at SxT, and the
inventor of the Proof of SQL protocol. “Our team pioneered
sub-second ZK proofs so that smart contracts and AI agents can ask
questions about a chain’s activity, as well as offchain data, and
receive back trustless SQL query results onchain during a
transaction without having to wait for 30 minute proof times.”
Proof of SQL was released
in alpha to a select group of SxT customers in August. With
today’s release on GitHub, the protocol is now available to the
public. Community members can run trustless queries on SxT on the
Space and Time Studio, and developers can
download the repository directly from
GitHub.
Proof of SQL is the first ZK prover that runs sub-second. In the
latest benchmarks run by the SxT cryptography team, the protocol
can execute analytic queries over 100k-row tables in less than a
second on a single GPU, and can aggregate over millions of rows of
indexed data within Ethereum block time on a single NVIDIA T4.
Proof of SQL offers a significantly more performant architecture
for processing large volumes of data than generalized zkVMs and
co-processors. While generalized zkVMs offer an extensible solution
for arbitrary computations, data processing is slow to prove.
Proof of SQL can be integrated with these zkVMs to provide
verifiable source data that arbitrary code can be executed over.
Space and Time encourages and invites contributions from the
community, as well as other ZKP engineering teams to collaborate in
the repo. The prover can be integrated into any SQL database
(such as Google
BigQuery), centralized or decentralized, and is already
securing some of the most prominent Web3 apps, financial
institutions, and enterprises.
About Space and Time
Space and Time is the verifiable compute layer for AI x
blockchain that joins tamperproof onchain and offchain data to
deliver enterprise use cases to smart contracts and LLMs. 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.
