#sxt $SXT Space and Time’s CMO once said: “Someone tampered with the data before it entered the system, and Proof of SQL can’t detect it.”
I read that sentence twice.
Proof of SQL proves that a query ran correctly and that the result matches the committed data, with proof generated in under a second. What it verifies is the computation. It can’t tell where the input came from or whether it was altered.
AI agents use it to make decisions, and banks anchor reserve data on-chain for tokenization. The real risk lies precisely in what happens before the data enters the system.
So I look at it in two layers. The computation layer has mathematical proofs—that’s solid. The input layer relies on validators signing commitments to the data. Trust shifts from the database to the validator set; it doesn’t disappear.
As for the token, the total supply is fixed at 5 billion. In February, the official estimated staking yield was about 9.7%, but explicitly said it fluctuates with query load. Fee data on DefiLlama is still very small at the moment.
I’m watching two things: whether the data sources at the input layer are publicly audited, and whether query fees are making up a growing share of staking rewards.
Should AI agents trust that “the computation was correct” or that “the data wasn’t tampered with”?
This is not investment advice. Trading involves risk.
DYOR.
