SmartCon Insights | On-chain financial security relies on Chainlink's oracle system and Space&Time's SQL ZK technology for privacy data protection.

On the second day of Chainlink's annual flagship conference, SmartCon, Scott Dykstra, co-founder and CTO of Space&Time, a star project of the Chainlink Build initiative, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Securing On-Chain Finance". He stated, “As a long-term partner of Chainlink, Space&Time has attended SmartCon for four consecutive years. As the only crypto investment project of Microsoft M12 Ventures, we have also received incubation support from Chainlink. In 2023, Space&Time released an indexing product, supporting the acquisition of accurate institutional-grade blockchain data from multiple EVM chains (such as Ethereum and Polygon). In 2024, the project launched its testnet and open-sourced all its zero-knowledge proof research, inventing and patenting the first SQL zero-knowledge proof technology. In 2025, the Space&Time mainnet was launched, and it currently has approximately 150,000 users, including developers and institutions. Specifically, through ZK technology, a decentralized verification network consisting of 20 nodes, and privacy-preserving queries, Space&Time can support institutional-grade data on-chain, DeFi protocol historical data queries, and on-chain data regulatory compliance. In the future, Space&Time V2 will be released soon, at which time institutional clients can create their own data tables on the Space&Time chain and self-host them.”
