Key takeaways

• Space and Time is a decentralized data warehouse that uses Proof of SQL to verify data and queries on blockchain and cloud platforms.
• It has enabled its Proof of SQL to work with BigQuery, Google Cloud’s serverless and cost-effective data warehouse.
• Space and Time is now available to deploy from the Google Cloud marketplace and has access to expanded partner benefits as a Google Cloud Partner.

What is 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 new cryptography called Proof of SQL that allows developers to connect analytics directly to smart contracts, opening up many 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.

How does Space and Time work with BigQuery?

The collaboration between Space and Time and Google Cloud's BigQuery promises to redefine how we view and interact with data, particularly on a blockchain. BigQuery, Google Cloud's serverless and cost-effective data warehouse, is renowned for its capabilities in Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Business Intelligence (BI). With the integration of the Proof of SQL protocol into BigQuery, Space and Time introduces an exciting dimension to the world of data management and query processing.

Proof of SQL represents a paradigm shift in how data integrity and security are upheld. Proof of SQL is based on the concept of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proof and is attached to SQL databases. It cryptographically verifies the execution of queries and the underlying data tables, ensuring that data manipulation is virtually impossible. This technology now extends its reach to any SQL database or data warehouse and is offering ZK-verified query processing over data stored on the Google Cloud platform.

With the expansion of blockchain technology in our everyday lives, the need for verifiable data processes is crucial. Developers and institutions are increasingly seeking ways to connect their cloud data warehousing services to their blockchain-based smart contracts. Space and Time, in partnership with Google Cloud, is paving the way for this "verify-everything" future.

It also enables them to harness the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) by training them on verifiable datasets. This sets the stage for a new breed of data-driven smart contracts and applications.

The Space and Time data warehouse is now available to deploy from the Google Cloud marketplace.

“Our goal is to help Web3 developers build applications at scale by providing them access to a range of tools and services. Now BigQuery customers will be able to access Space and Time’s ZK-proof protocol which can help verify blockchain smart contracts and other business processes that require verifiable compute against data.”
—James Tromans, Head of Web3 at Google Cloud

“We are working with Google Cloud to empower BigQuery clients to run ZK-verified data processes, cryptographically guaranteed by Proof of SQL. Enterprises are already beginning to demand verifiability throughout their stacks, and it’s only going to continue to accelerate. Through our collaboration with Google Cloud, we are laying the groundwork for the verify-everything future.”
—Nate Holiday, CEO and Co-Founder of Space and Time
