Space and Time Unveils Sub-Second ZK Prover for SQL Queries Using NVIDIA GPUs

• Proof of SQL makes advantage of NVIDIA’s accelerated computing as well as its own specialized GPU acceleration architecture.
• Proof of SQL is an innovative ZK circuit that was developed with the purpose of ensuring that SQL database queries are accurate and authentic.

Today, Space and Time, a company that is a pioneer in blockchain, artificial intelligence, data, and zero-knowledge (ZK), made an announcement that their ZK prover for SQL queries, which is called “Proof of SQL,” has achieved sub-second proving speeds for analytic queries against one million rows of data. Proving SQL queries in ZK is made possible by the prover, which is the quickest on the market thanks to the enhanced processing capabilities of NVIDIA.

Proof of SQL is an innovative ZK circuit that was developed with the purpose of ensuring that SQL database queries are accurate and authentic. A number of the most popular Web3 applications, artificial intelligence protocols, financial institutions, and businesses are now being secured by the prover, which can be centralized or decentralized, integrated into any SQL database (including Google BigQuery), and is already in use.

For the purpose of processing enormous amounts of data more quickly than any other solution now available on the market, Proof of SQL makes advantage of NVIDIA’s accelerated computing as well as its own specialized GPU acceleration architecture. The most recent benchmarks that were released on GitHub demonstrate that the protocol is capable of executing analytic queries over tables with one million rows in a fraction of a second on NVIDIA GPUs.

Jay White, PhD, Co-Founder and Head of Research at MakeInfinite Labs, and the inventor of the Proof of SQL protocol stated:

“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.”

In order to facilitate the integration of ZK into their database and the development of next-generation apps that include verifiable data, Proof of SQL is made accessible on GitHub for developers and businesses.

Smart contracts may safely access and compute over data from any chain or source thanks to Space and Time, the blockchain for ZK-proven data. Space and Time gives developers the ability to create applications that are more intelligent, data-rich, and have verifiable data. This is made possible by Proof of SQL, a ZK coprocessor that operates in less than a second.

MakeInfinite Labs is a pioneering protocol research lab that has contributed to the development of some of the most recognized protocols and ecosystems in the cryptocurrency industry. One of these contributions is the establishment of Space and Time. Microsoft’s M12 Ventures and other major investors contributed $50 million to MakeInfinite Labs so that the company could build the infrastructure that would allow developers and creators to build data-driven apps, tokenize and monetize their work, and succeed in the artificial intelligence economy.
