• Bless Network has integrated with Space and Time to enable AI agents that can verify their decisions using zero-knowledge proofs.
  • These agents will run directly on user devices across 5 million nodes, removing reliance on centralised cloud infrastructure.

Bless Network, a decentralised edge compute platform boasting over 5 million live nodes, has announced a strategic integration with Space and Time (SXT), a zero-knowledge-proven SQL database.

The partnership aims to enable AI agents that can independently verify their data sources and decision-making logic, without relying on centralised infrastructure.

Autonomous agents running on Bless’s network will now be able to pull verifiable data feeds, including market prices, weather data, and cross-chain activity, secured by cryptographic guarantees from Space and Time.

This zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) framework ensures that decisions are made on untampered, transparent data.

Decentralised Agents for Critical Use Cases

The collaboration opens doors for AI-powered infrastructure applications where accuracy and accountability are non-negotiable.

Potential use cases include optimising EV charging rates using grid-verified data, adjusting public transit in real-time based on proven traffic patterns, and executing DeFi transactions using trustworthy market information.

"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.

These agents operate directly on consumer devices via Bless’s browser extension, bypassing centralised servers while delivering sub-second performance.

Beyond performance, the integration addresses emerging concerns around data rights and monetisation.

AI agents could now engage in on-chain negotiations to access data, potentially enabling fair compensation models for content creators while ensuring verified access.

Space and Time’s infrastructure includes validators that sign data before it’s logged on-chain, and Prover nodes that generate ZK proofs, verifiable on Ethereum with just 150,000 gas.

Combined with Bless’s globally distributed edge network, developers can start building AI applications today using existing tooling, such as ZKpay query relayers and Bless’s platform.

The partnership marks a powerful convergence of decentralised infrastructure and verifiable compute.
