Space and Time, a Microsoft-backed blockchain data project, announced Space and Time Enterprise on November 9, 2026, according to Decrypt. The platform is designed to let businesses provide verifiable calculation results to AI applications, auditors and other stakeholders without giving them access to the underlying private records.
For teams evaluating the tool, the key distinction is verifying how data was processed versus verifying whether the data was true. The platform addresses the former; it does not establish the accuracy of the original records.
What the platform is designed to do
Space and Time Enterprise uses the company’s patented Proof of SQL technology to prove that database queries were computed correctly on a given set of records. This lets a recipient check a calculation without accessing the database itself, according to the company.
Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs, Space and Time’s original developer, told Decrypt that businesses want AI agents to execute workflows using private information, but those agents do not need unrestricted access to the records behind every calculation.
Holiday said the company is working with customers in construction, engineering and manufacturing that want AI agents, reporting tools and compliance teams to use the same business records and verify the calculations they rely on.
The announced launch partners are:
- Maple Finance, an onchain asset manager.
- Indomobil, an Indonesian vehicle maker and distributor.
- Trenez, an Oracle software consultancy.
- The Data Foundation, an AI data network.
Deployment requirements and performance claims
According to Space and Time, Proof of SQL already works with Google Cloud’s BigQuery. Businesses can now also run it on their own servers without operating a blockchain, buying specialized hardware or relying on an external proving service.
Holiday said GPU acceleration allows supported queries over millions of rows to run and be proven in under a second. That is a conditional performance claim: actual results depend on the query, hardware and dataset.
Decrypt’s report does not provide installation instructions or a reproducible benchmark, so it is not a deployment walkthrough or an independent performance test.
What a successful proof does—and does not—establish
The documented outcome is evidence that a calculation was performed correctly on the records used. It is not a guarantee that those records were accurate when entered.
“An incorrect entry still needs to be caught through the business’s data controls,” Holiday told Decrypt. He said verification provides evidence of which data was used and whether it was processed correctly.
For an evaluation, that boundary matters: query verification complements a business’s data controls rather than replacing them.
Does an enterprise deployment require SXT?
Space and Time also operates SXT Chain, a decentralized network supplying verifiable data to DeFi, tokenized assets and stablecoins. SXT is the token that powers that blockchain.
Asked whether enterprise customers would generate demand for SXT, Holiday said businesses could deploy the product in their own environments. He said the network would become relevant as their applications “need to connect to onchain markets,” with those workloads paid for through Space and Time.
The announcement therefore does not establish that every enterprise deployment requires blockchain use or creates demand for the token.
Project background
Space and Time raised $20 million in 2022 in a strategic funding round led by M12, Microsoft’s venture fund. Decrypt reported that Grayscale launched a trust offering exposure to SXT in 2025.
Earlier in 2026, Space and Time launched Dreamspace, an AI-powered tool built with Microsoft’s Azure AI services that lets users create and deploy onchain applications without writing code.
Holiday also said Microsoft’s Nova project includes Blitzar, Space and Time’s cryptographic acceleration library, and that the team’s work on the Dory commitment scheme contributed to a16z crypto’s Jolt proof system.
