Bless Network Integrates Space and Time for Trustless AI Agents

Bless Network, a pioneering shared computer with over 5 million live nodes, has announced its integration with Space and Time (SXT), a zero-knowledge-proven SQL database platform. This partnership aims to deploy autonomous AI agents that can cryptographically prove their decision-making processes using tamper-proof data, addressing critical trust issues in decentralized AI applications.

The integration tackles a fundamental challenge in AI deployment: verifying that autonomous agents are making decisions based on accurate, unmanipulated data. Traditional AI systems rely on centralized data sources and cloud providers, creating single points of failure and trust dependencies. Through Space and Time’s zero-knowledge proof technology, AI agents running on Bless’s edge network can access verifiable data feeds, including real-time market prices, weather forecasts, and cross-chain activity, with cryptographic guarantees that the information hasn’t been tampered with. This creates provably honest AI agents that operate without requiring trust in centralized intermediaries.

The partnership enables AI agents for infrastructure applications where trust and transparency are essential. Examples include agents that optimize EV charging prices using verified energy grid data, manage public transit routing based on proven traffic patterns, or execute DeFi trades using cryptographically verified market information. Unlike traditional cloud-based AI deployments, these agents run directly on user devices through Bless’s browser extension, eliminating dependence on centralized servers while maintaining sub-second response times.

“AI shouldn’t rely on AWS or opaque oracles. With Space and Time, agents now have a trustless backbone for data and compute — powered by people, not platforms,” said Butian Lee, CEO of Bless Network. The integration addresses broader questions about data ownership and compensation in the AI economy. Current web crawlers extract content without consent or compensation, creating an extractive model that benefits only large technology companies. The Bless-SXT architecture enables AI agents to negotiate data access through on-chain protocols, potentially compensating content creators while maintaining transparency through verifiable proof systems. This approach could establish new economic models where data providers receive fair compensation while preserving open access for verified users.

Space and Time’s validators cryptographically sign data commitments before recording them on-chain, while Prover nodes generate zero-knowledge proofs that ensure results are accurate. This process requires only 150,000 gas to verify on Ethereum, making it economically viable for real-time applications. The integration leverages Bless’s existing infrastructure of 5 million nodes spread across consumer devices, creating geographically distributed compute resources that can access Space and Time’s verified data feeds. Developers can begin building applications immediately using Space and Time’s ZKpay query relayer contracts and Bless’s developer platform. The partnership represents convergence between decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) and zero-knowledge proofs, potentially challenging traditional cloud computing models dominated by centralized providers.

Bless Network is the world’s first shared computer, turning every consumer device into a participant in a massive edge compute network with over 5 million live nodes. Purpose-built for real-time inference and agentic computing, Bless enables companies to deploy applications closer to end users while allowing individuals to earn rewards by contributing computing resources. Space and Time is a pioneering decentralized data platform that empowers developers, enterprises, and smart contracts with ZK-proven on-chain and off-chain data. Launched in 2022, the company replaces traditional centralized data stacks—indexers, APIs, databases, warehouses—with a unified, trust-minimized platform secured by sub-second Proof of SQL, a breakthrough zero-knowledge coprocessor that cryptographically verifies queries in real time.
