The team has been absolutely cooking this summer @spaceandtime. Keep your eyes peeled for order of magnitude performance improvements, improved app responsiveness and stability, and huge new features

[Henry Daly @_henrydaly]

Developing a protocol for cryptographically guaranteeing database tables and query execution is hard. Turning that protocol into a real usable product is harder. Making it blazing fast is unheard of.

Congrats to the team (led by @theZKjay) for putting in the hard work!

Explore popular dashboards and keep tabs on your favorites! We’re empowering the community to find, save, and promote the best content in the Space and Time Studio 🦾

[Space and Time @spaceandtime]

You can now star and save your favorite dashboards on the Space and Time Studio 🎉

You’ve probably noticed the SxT community creating some fire dashboards for @zksync, @AbyssWorldHQ, and other chains and protocols on the Studio. 🔥

Building a dashboard with Space and Time is as easy as writing some natural language queries, pinning the automatically generated visualizations to a new dashboard, and uploading a header image to automatically brand it. You can save your dashboard as private to you, private to your org, or public to the community.

Now, you can star your favorite community dashboards and come back to them later, as well as explore trending dashboards that others are liking. You can also star and save public queries!

We’re thrilled to announce that Blitzar, the GPU acceleration framework powering Proof of SQL, is now available to ZK projects and devs in open source ⚡️

Check out the exclusive from @Cointelegraph: https://t.co/Du1zybrW2L

Let’s break it down…

⚡️ What is an acceleration framework and why is it needed?

ZK proofs are, at the most basic level, math running on data. That math is complex and computationally-intensive, and if you want it to run really fast, software only gets you so far. Eventually, you have to accelerate it at the hardware level. A hardware acceleration framework is a software tool that offloads computationally-intensive tasks to specialized hardware, such as GPUs. It speeds up performance and optimizes the way that a ZK protocol runs.

⚡️ Why GPUs?

GPUs are a type of hardware particularly well suited for the kind of math involved in ZK proof generation. Unlike CPUs, GPUs execute tasks in parallel, and most ZK protocol runtime is parallel by nature. They also scale more easily and deliver higher performance at a lower cost. Many of the most popular ZK proofs, including Proof of SQL, leverage GPUs.

⚡️ Why Blitzar?

A GPU acceleration framework acts essentially as a firmware layer between the software and hardware that maps the ZK proof software to a GPU and ensures that the math runs really fast. As we began developing the Proof of SQL protocol and looking for an open-source GPU acceleration framework to use, we realized that Proof of SQL needed something better than what was available on the market… So we built Blitzar from the ground up.

Now, Proof of SQL runs sub-second, and it’s only getting faster. 🤯⚡️

⚡️ Why open-source?

Space and Time is dedicated to open-source. We also see ZK as the future of computation, and GPU acceleration is a critical piece of running ZK efficiently. We open-sourced Blitzar to provide the Web3 community with a faster and more robust framework for building GPU-accelerated ZK proofs, and to invite the community to contribute to improving the framework.

⚡️ Who can use it?

Blitzar is available to any ZK protocol looking for rapid GPU acceleration! Two of the most expensive portions of producing a ZK proof are multi-scalar multiplication and inner-product arguments, which are what we’ve focused on accelerating with Blitzar. Today, the framework can be used by any project that wants to accelerate MSM or IPA, and we’re excited to build with the community to expand the supported functions and satisfy a wider range of ZK use cases.

Big things coming from SxT! S/o @cat_uccino @nateholiday @chiefbuidl on the whitepaper release

[Space and Time @spaceandtime]

The Space and Time whitepaper is here.

We’re proud to release v1.0 of our whitepaper, which outlines the design, implementation, and utility of the Space and Time Verifiable Compute Layer. In it, you’ll find a detailed overview of…

🚀 The Problem: Untapped Potential of Web3
🚀 The Solution: Decentralized Data Warehouse with Proof of SQL
🚀 Design of the Proof of SQL Protocol
🚀 Use Cases for the Next-Generation of Web3
🚀 Decentralized Network Value Accrual

The mass adoption of Web3 is hindered by three main problems: a poor user/developer experience, the fragmentation of blockchain ecosystems (and associated ZK toolkits), and the inherent limitations of smart contract data processing.

Space and Time has pioneered a breakthrough ZK circuit that speeds up time-to-value for dapp developers, improves end-user experience, acts as a single source of truth for the state of popular blockchains, and serves as a coprocessor to supplement the limited storage and computational power of smart contracts using verifiable SQL queries.

This protocol, Proof of SQL, can be embedded in any SQL-compatible database. Space and Time has also delivered it to the market in the form of a decentralized data warehouse loaded with already-verified blockchain data indexed from popular chains.

Our goal is to enable dapp developers with sophisticated, data-driven, cross-chain smart contracts to fulfill the vision of Web3: a world where business logic and value exchange are underpinned not by trust, but by verifiability.

Space and Time is the Verifiable Compute Layer for Web3.
