The partnership will improve the way Space and Time developers interact with and build with Sui blockchain-on-chain data.
Layer 1 blockchain Sui Network has expanded its strategic partnership with Space and Time (SxT), an AI-based blockchain warehouse for data, to integrate the second iteration of Sui’s RPC. The partnership will enable SxT developers and users to acquire and build with Sui data in an easier, faster, more secure and cheaper way.
The latest collaboration follows the recent collaboration between Sui and SxT, where the latter provided Sui’s developers with a full stack of zero-knowledge proof-based tools to aid their build process on the Sui network. Following the partnership, SxT will integrate Sui’s RPC 2.0, which was released in January as a GrapgQL RPC service, aiming to make it easier for developers to access on-chain Sui data.
Evan Cheng, co-founder and CEO of Mysten Labs, the originator of the Sui Network, expressed excitement about the latest collaboration with SxT, stating:
“This expanded partnership highlights our commitment to pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology and delivering real-world applications that meet the needs of our users.”
Introducing Sui’s GrapghQL RPC nodes to SxT
Sui Network’s latest advancement (RPC 2.0) will provide developers with a faster, more efficient, and more secure interface for users and applications to interact with the on-chain blockchain data. Sui’s RPC 2.0 replaces the original Sui RPC with a GrapghQL-based service, which aims to streamline and secure interactions within the Sui ecosystem.
“GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language designed to simplify building expressive APIs and services that require complex data queries.” – Sui’s main website.
As one of the first blockchains to integrate Sui’s RPC 2.0, SxT’s developers can now connect to a more secure and efficient method for users to retrieve and interact with Sui’s data. In addition to faster services and security, the new RPC 2.0 also solves several challenges faced by current versions of RPCs.
First, the new RPC offers developers a more efficient search pattern, giving them a broader field of dynamism and creativity in multiple areas. Additionally, Sui’s RPC 2.0 services and data storage will be decoupled from entire nodes. The RPC service reads data from its own data store, making the process of data retrieval easier and faster, which is crucial for developers in terms of space and time.
“Space and Time makes it easy for developers to build analytics, DApps, games and dashboards with ZK proven Sui data,” Cheng added. “We are excited to work with the Space and Time team to integrate Sui’s latest GraphQL-based RPC into SxT and enable users to seamlessly interact with Sui’s data.”
An extensive collaboration with Sui Network
The latest partnership expands the relationship between Space and Time and Sui Network. The former’s blockchain indexing service currently indexes on-chain data from Sui Network in a real-time, zk-compatible manner. SxT retrieves the data and stores a full copy of the Sui chain in relational tables in its data warehouse, allowing developers to execute/query on-chain data, merge it with off-chain data, ZK proofs and results can send back to their smart contracts on Sui.
Scott Dykstra, CTO and co-founder of Space and Time, said of the latest partnership with Sui Network:
“We’re excited to now also support the Sui community with next-generation RPC nodes, making it easier for developers to access on-chain transactions.”
