Space and Time, the flagship platform for blockchain, AI, data and zero knowledge (ZK), announced today that the ZK prover SQL Proof SQL has reached the sub-second proof rate for analytical queries on 1 million columns of data.
Space and Time’s Prover with nvidia achieves second sub-speed
According to the team’s official statement, Space and Time was the first blockchain to deal with ZK encryption of external data, achieving sub-second proof speeds for SQL Prover. Milestones are achieved through integration of NVIDIA computing power.

As of May 2025, Prover is the fastest on the market to prove SQL queries using Zero Knowledge (ZK) equipment.
SQL Proof is a new ZK circuit designed to verify the accuracy and consistency of SQL database queries. Prover is integrated into SQL databases, centralized or decentralized, and already protects some of the most prominent Web3 apps, AI protocols, financial institutions and businesses.
Jay White, PhD, co-founder and research director of MakeInfinite Labs, and inventors of Proof of SQL Protocols, highlight the importance of releasing the entire data logistics solution for Web3.
Space and time are at the forefront of building fast, practical ZKs for real-world workloads and applications. Collaboration with Nvidia and the use of its technology is important to realize this vision. We are excited about the progress of SQL proofing and look forward to continuing with the NVIDIA team to guide you through the next generation of AI and blockchain applications powered by ZK.
SQL Proof uses NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and its proprietary custom GPU acceleration framework to process large amounts of data volumes faster than any other solution on the market.
Sport-of-SQL tools available to GitHub developers
SQL proofs are available on GitHub for developers and businesses who want to integrate ZK into their databases and develop next-generation applications using verifiable data.
In the latest benchmarks published on GitHub, the protocol can run analytical queries over 1 million column tables in less than a second on NVIDIA GPUs.
As previously covered by U.Today, Space and Time finally released its mainnet on May 8, 2025. SXTERC-20 token staking has also been activated.
Previously, the protocol’s founding entity had secured $50 million in funding from Microsoft’s VC ARM.
