Space and Time debuts $SXT token as mainnet goes live
Microsoft-backed blockchain platform Space and Time launched its permissionless mainnet on May 8, 2025, introducing zero-knowledge (ZK)-proven data infrastructure to enhance smart contract capabilities.
The decentralised network enables secure access to historical, cross-chain, and off-chain data through cryptographic proofs, addressing a critical gap in blockchain application development.
Developers can now query verified data from networks like Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) using Space and Time’s Proof of SQL, a sub-second ZK coprocessor that generates tamper-proof results for each database request.
“This launch empowers builders to create sophisticated onchain applications without compromising security or introducing tampering risks,” stated Scott Dykstra, co-founder of Space and Time.
The platform’s decentralised validator network, which included over 30 global participants during its testnet phase, ensures data integrity across regions.
Key partnerships with Microsoft Azure, Google BigQuery, and blockchain projects like Chainlink (CRYPTO:LINK), Sui (CRYPTO:SUI), and ZKsync (CRYPTO:ZK) highlight the platform’s adoption by major industry players.
The native utility token, SXT, debuted on Binance as its 69th Launchpool project, potentially increasing liquidity and ecosystem participation.
The mainnet launch follows a 2022 strategic investment round led by Microsoft and a 2024 Series A funding.
Space and Time’s technology aims to bridge the gap between enterprise cloud databases and blockchain networks, enabling trustless data retrieval for applications ranging from decentralised finance to AI-driven agents.
“By integrating ZK-proof infrastructure, we’re providing developers with tools to build efficiently while maintaining resistance to manipulation,” Dykstra added.
The platform’s permissionless structure allows community members to participate as validators or delegated stakers, fostering decentralised governance.
As the project transitions to mainnet, its success could reshape how smart contracts interact with external data, offering a scalable solution for Web3’s evolving needs.
The SXT token’s utility within the ecosystem, including transaction fees and staking rewards, is expected to drive further engagement.

Hurricane Approaches the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Shutting Down a Quarter of Oil Production and Pushing Oil Prices Higher
About 512,000 barrels per day of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico have already shut down, accounting for 25% of the region’s total output, and 16% of natural gas production has been suspended. Companies such as Shell and Chevron have evacuated non-essential personnel. It is estimated that roughly 2.7 million barrels per day, or 14% of the US refining capacity, are located within or near the projected hurricane path. Currently, crude oil and refined product prices are elevated, and US refineries are operating at full capacity to fill the gap. Mizuho Securities warns that if US refining capacity is forced offline, the consequences "will be catastrophic."

Trump “Debunks Rumors”? Says He Won’t Attack Iran Before Election; Iranian Foreign Minister Says Negotiations Held Through Mediators
On the US side, Trump stated that productive talks are ongoing with Iran, and that there will be no attack on Iran before the US midterm elections on November 3. The news pushed US Treasury yields lower, while crude oil gave back part of its gains, and gold quickly turned higher. The US has imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran, targeting 17 vessels transporting Iranian crude oil and petrochemical products. On the Iranian side, the Iranian Foreign Minister said that Iran has listened to the US response regarding the "seven-day plan" and will reply within a few days. The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran stated that they are ready at any time to deliver a devastating response to the enemy, and that the Strait of Hormuz is Iran's strategic red line.
