Space and Time Launches Private Data Platform for Enterprise AI
Space and Time Enterprise lets businesses verify database calculations without exposing source records, with Maple Finance among its launch partners.
Key Notes
- Space and Time Enterprise lets organisations prove database calculations without sharing the underlying records.
- Maple Finance, Indomobil, Trenez and The Data Foundation are named launch participants.
- Deployment requires no blockchain or specialised GPU hardware, while verification relies on trusted data commitments.
Space and Time has introduced an enterprise data platform that lets businesses prove database calculations are correct while keeping the underlying records inside their own infrastructure. The Microsoft-backed project is targeting AI applications, financial reporting and audits, where sharing a result can expose sensitive information or require trusting whoever produced it.
The launch page names Maple Finance, Indomobil, Trenez and The Data Foundation as flagship customers and launch partners. The announcement does not disclose contract values, deployment sizes or pricing.
Proof Travels With the Result
Space and Time Enterprise uses Proof of SQL, the project’s technology for attaching cryptographic evidence to database-query results. SQL is the language businesses commonly use to retrieve and calculate information stored in tables.
An application or auditor receives the result and its proof, while the source records remain in the organisation’s environment. The recipient can then check that the calculation matches the submitted query and a trusted reference to the dataset.
That reference, called a commitment, acts as a cryptographic fingerprint of the records. According to the public repository, verification depends on obtaining those commitments from a trusted source. The proof establishes what was calculated over the committed data. Establishing whether the original entries accurately reflect real-world events remains a separate task.
The distinction is relevant as AI agents receive greater authority to act on business information. A verified calculation can support a workflow without requiring every application, auditor or counterparty to read the private database.
Deployment on a Company’s Own Servers
The enterprise product can run on an ordinary server or laptop without operating a blockchain, buying specialised GPU hardware or using an outside proving service. Companies still need to manage access to their deployment and establish the trusted references used to verify results.
The launch materials describe uses including asset valuations, collateral checks, private credit, compliance reports and supply-chain information. These are proposed application areas, with no published performance or cost figures for the named launch participants.
“Privacy is a prerequisite for enterprise adoption,” said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs, Space and Time’s original developer, in the launch announcement supplied to CoinScreamer. Holiday said businesses want to protect proprietary information while verifying data and auditing their AI agents.
Extending Proof of SQL Beyond Onchain Finance
Proof of SQL already has a BigQuery integration, described by Google Cloud in 2023. The new enterprise package brings local deployment and independent verification into private business environments alongside Space and Time’s SXT Chain work in onchain finance.
Microsoft’s involvement comes through its venture fund M12, which previously led a funding round for Space and Time.
CoinScreamer’s Raycash coverage examined another application of cryptography to financial privacy, using Zama’s encryption to conceal payment amounts. Space and Time’s enterprise launch focuses on proving database outputs for businesses retaining control of their records.
