Space and Time, a Microsoft-backed blockchain data project, announced on November 9, 2026, that it had launched an enterprise platform intended to let businesses verify calculations used by AI tools without exposing the underlying private records.
According to the company, Space and Time Enterprise allows AI applications, auditors and other stakeholders to check calculation results without accessing the database itself. Launch partners include onchain asset manager Maple Finance, Indonesian vehicle maker and distributor Indomobil, Oracle software consultancy Trenez and AI data network The Data Foundation.
Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs, Space and Time’s original developer, told Decrypt that businesses want AI agents to execute workflows using company information without giving those agents unrestricted access to the records behind each calculation. He said the company was working with customers in construction, engineering and manufacturing that wanted AI agents, reporting tools and compliance teams to use the same business records and verify their calculations.
What the technology verifies—and what it does not
The platform uses Proof of SQL, Space and Time’s patented technology for proving that database queries were computed correctly. The company said it already works with Google Cloud’s BigQuery and can now run on businesses’ own servers without requiring them to operate a blockchain, buy specialized hardware or use an outside proving service.
Holiday said GPU acceleration could allow supported queries over millions of rows to run and be proven in under a second. Actual performance, however, depends on the query, hardware and dataset.
The distinction between correct processing and accurate source data remains important: the technology can prove that a calculation was performed correctly on a given set of records, but it cannot establish whether those records were accurate in the first place.
“An incorrect entry still needs to be caught through the business’s data controls,” Holiday told Decrypt, “but verification gives those controls a much stronger foundation: evidence of which data was used and whether it was processed correctly.”
How the enterprise product relates to SXT
Space and Time also operates SXT Chain, a decentralized network supplying verifiable data to DeFi, tokenized assets and stablecoins. Enterprise deployment does not itself require a business to operate a blockchain.
Asked whether enterprise customers would create demand for the SXT token, Holiday said businesses could deploy the product in their own environments. The network would become relevant as their applications “need to connect to onchain markets,” he said, with those workloads paid for through Space and Time. His comments did not establish a quantified link between enterprise adoption and token demand.
Space and Time raised $20 million in 2022 in a strategic funding round led by M12, Microsoft’s venture fund. In 2025, Grayscale launched a trust offering investors exposure to SXT, the token powering Space and Time’s blockchain. Earlier in 2026, Space and Time launched Dreamspace, a 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.
