Space and Time

What is this network?

Space and Time is the first decentralized data warehouse that combines tamperproof on-chain and off-chain data. It is designed to power a new generation of smart contract use cases. The platform is AI-powered and provides fast OLTP/OLAP at scale, blockchain data, and zk-proofs. It is designed to be the database for Web3, allowing users to publish queries as REST APIs with a click and ingest new streams with a few keystrokes. It also provides SQL for smart contracts, with zk-proofs, and APIs to join on-chain and off-chain data.

How can I mine tokens?

The specific details on how to mine tokens on the Space and Time network are not provided in the search results. However, similar networks use a process called "Proof of Space Time" where miners stake storage they own for the eligibility to participate in the network and validate transactions. In this process, a miner needs to initialize a minimum amount of storage with a special data structure. This data structure is then used to generate proofs that storage exists and is in fact being stored.

How can I use the network?

Space and Time allows users to join realtime, relational blockchain data indexed from major chains with off-chain data loaded from any source. Users can publish query results directly to smart contracts with Proof of SQL™ cryptographic guarantees. The network is designed to be used by developers to build on top of it, providing a platform where they can run SQL queries instead of dealing with complex smart contracts.

Who governs this network?

The governance of the Space and Time network is not explicitly mentioned in the search results. However, the executive team of Space and Time, including Co-founder & CEO Nate Holiday and Co-Founder and Head of Research Jay White, likely play a significant role in the governance and strategic direction of the network.

Funding

Space and Time was incubated as part of a program by ChainLink Labs. Samsung Next participated in a $10 million Seed funding round led by Framework. The company is building fundamental components to enable big data applications for web3 use cases, including Proof-of-SQL for tamper-proof data commits and queries, normalizing on-chain data for indexing across chains, and storage optimization between in-memory cache and disk storage on decentralized nodes.
