Space and Time, a leader in blockchain, AI, data, and zero-knowledge (ZK), announced on Thursday that its ZK prover for SQL queries ‘Proof of SQL’ has reached sub-second proving speeds for analytic queries against 1 million rows of data.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, Space and Time said the prover is powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and is the fastest on the market for proving SQL queries in ZK.
Proof of SQL is a novel ZK circuit designed to verify the accuracy and integrity of SQL database queries. 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, AI protocols, financial institutions, and enterprises.
Space and Time added that Proof of SQL leverages NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and its custom GPU acceleration framework to process large data volumes faster than any other solution on the market. In the latest benchmarks published on GitHub, the protocol can execute analytic queries over one million-row tables in less than a second on NVIDIA GPUs.
While commenting on this milestone, Jay White, PhD, Co-Founder and Head of Research at MakeInfinite Labs, and the inventor of the Proof of SQL protocol, said,
“Space and Time is at the forefront of building fast, practical ZK for real-world workloads and applications. Our collaboration with NVIDIA and use of their technology is critical in realizing this vision. We’re thrilled by the progress of Proof of SQL and look forward to continuing to build with the NVIDIA team to usher in the next generation of AI and blockchain applications, powered by ZK.”
Proof of SQL is available on GitHub for developers and enterprises that want to integrate ZK into their database and develop next-generation applications with verifiable data.
Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data, which enables smart contracts to trustlessly access and compute over data from any chain or source. Powered by Proof of SQL, a sub-second ZK coprocessor, Space and Time empowers developers to build more intelligent, data-rich applications with verifiable data.
Meanwhile, MakeInfinite Labs is a frontier protocol research lab contributing to some of the most prominent protocols and ecosystems across crypto, including creating Space and Time. MakeInfinite Labs raised $50 million from Microsoft’s M12 Ventures and other leading investors to build the infrastructure that enables developers and creators to build data-driven applications, tokenize and monetize, and win in the AI economy.
