Jon Radoff (Beamable) sits down with Space and Time Co-Founder and CTO Scott Dykstra to explore the next evolution in decentralized data.
What if every blockchain could be queried like a unified SQL database—and smart contracts could act on real-time, ZK-proven answers without relying on centralized infrastructure?
Scott brings deep expertise in cloud analytics and database architecture to the Web3 stack—leading the development of Space and Time's tamperproof, verifiable compute layer for blockchain, AI, and enterprise use cases.
In this episode:
How ZK-proven SQL powers smart contracts with trustless data
Why Space and Time is a coprocessor for blockchain intelligence, not just an indexer
How staking SXT secures and scales decentralized data infrastructure
Where encryption, AI, and zero-knowledge proofs converge
Forget dashboards. Think data that proves itself.
Decentralized Tech Livestream: Music
Jon Radoff: Welcome back everybody. We are once again watching the decentralized tech live stream. This is the show where we talk about really how decentralized technology is changing the world, whether that's deep in decentralized physical infrastructure networks, whether it is defy, whether it's market making, we cover all of those topics here. And today I've got an absolutely awesome guest. I'm so excited that Scott you've been willing to join us today. Scott is with a startup called space and time. They have been building killer technology over the last few years. I'm going to let Scott explain it himself because I don't want to fuck up anything on how awesome the platform it is. Basically done a TGE so we can talk about both of those aspects like what it does, what the utility is, what people are getting out of it, and then what the token brings to the table. So the scope of this conversation is probably going to run wide. We can go with technology. I'm also just sort of curious to give a little bit of behind the scenes inside to our audience here. I'm like, what does a TGE look like? A lot of people know what it's like to just go to an exchange by a token, but building a TGE, it's a fuck ton of work. I've been working on this for months now because we're doing our own in a few months. And it's kind of crazy what you have to do to do that. But anyway, Scott, let's start with you. Can we start a little bit with your own background? What is the topic? Who are you? What brought you to this? And then we'll dive into space and time.
