- Sui offers uniquely low fees, fast transactions and high scalability
- Space and Time delivers ZK-proven SQL to smart contracts
Sui, the recently launched Layer 1 blockchain and smart contract platform created by the core research team behind Facebook’s Libra and Diem projects, has partnered with Space and Time (SxT). Space and Time is a verifiable compute layer that will provide builders on Sui seamless access to off-chain data.
As part of this announcement, shared exclusively with Bankless Times, SxT is being named the preferred data warehouse for the Sui ecosystem, providing a full stack of zero-knowledge-proof-based (ZK) tools to developers building on Sui.
Low fees and high-speed transactions
Sui, which offers uniquely low fees, fast transactions and high scalability, allows developers to build decentralized applications and games that enable true ownership of in-game assets. The new partnership with Space and Time ensures that Sui developers have the ZK tools that they need to build robust, data-driven dApps and games that join verifiable on- and off-chain data.
Evan Cheng, Co-Founder and CEO of Sui creator Mysten Labs, said:
Partnering with Space and Time to enable the development of ZK-powered games on Sui is a significant step in our mission to bring the benefits of Web3 to address a broader range of mainstream use cases. In particular, SxT provides the verifiable compute layer that the Sui ecosystem needs to onboard the next generation of Web3 game developers.
Space and Time delivers ZK-proven SQL to smart contracts and enables developers to build robust, verifiable, data-driven Web3 games. Proof of SQL, SxT’s novel ZK-proof, guarantees that queries are accurate and tamperproof, providing a compute layer for smart contracts that allows them to run scalable computations in a trustless and verifiable way.
Powering some of the biggest games in Web3
Sui and Space and Time power some of the biggest games in Web3, including the highly anticipated ARPG game Abyss World along with other leading studios. Their combined gaming ecosystem, which represents millions of dollars in onchain value, is positioned to redefine the landscape of Web3 gaming, setting new standards for next-gen gameplay and sophisticated onchain rewards powered by verifiable compute.
Chainlink’s preferred data warehouse
SxT recently rolled out Pay per Compute pricing that allows developers to pay only for the queries that they run. SxT is the preferred data warehouse for the Sui ecosystem and was also recently announced as the preferred data warehouse for the Chainlink ecosystem.
With Space and Time, developers can run analytics to generate deeper insights around what their community is doing in-game and on-chain, to understand what in-game events led to an on-chain purchase. Gaming smart contracts can also query Space and Time directly to mint rewards for players based on in-game events.
Tamperproof SQL query results
Proof of SQL, Space and Time’s novel ZK-proof, cryptographically guarantees that indexed data, offchain data and SQL query results are verifiable and tamperproof, allowing developers to connect their gaming smart contracts to offchain ZK-proven gaming data and SQL compute.
