What keeps bothering me on Space and Time isn't the Proof of SQL result.
It's the WHERE clause sitting underneath.
One missing contract address.
That's it. That's enough to make a perfectly verified revenue number look stupid later.
And SXT won't necessarily catch that.
Which... fine. It wasn't supposed to.
That's irritating bit.
@SpaceandTime Indexer nodes pull Ethereum events into relational tables. Validator quorum commits the table state. Prover runs the SQL against those commitments. Proof of SQL verifies the computation.
Good. Hard machinery.
Still nobody's arguing with the missing address.
Say an AI agent pulls 30 days of lending protocol fees through SXT Chain. Revenue looks thinner than expected. Query returns. ZK proof verifies. Clean figure lands in a risk note.
Somebody starts talking exposure limits.
Then?
Turns out one fee-generating contract never made it into the SQL filter.
Lovely.
Not a forged table. Not a dishonest SXT Prover. The query just didn't ask for those events.
I keep getting stuck there.
Because the validator-signed table commitment can be correct. Proof of SQL can be correct. Even the historical Ethereum rows sitting in Space and Time can be perfectly fine.
The agent's WHERE clause?
Still missing revenue.
And now the risk note has a number with a valid proof attached. Nobody bothers reopening the contract list. One team sees verified fees. Another starts treating the decline as real. Somebody forwards the figure before reopening the contract list.
Bad afternoon hiding in one SQL line.
I've seen this kind of comfort around clean calculations before. Nobody wants to argue with the math once the proof lands.
Fine.
But Space and Time proved query it received. Not the query an AI agent should've written.
That's a nasty distinction.
That excluded contract is still on Ethereum. Just not in the SQL result.
So who catches that address before a proven SXT result starts moving a real exposure limit?
The Prover?
Or the person who finally opens the WHERE clause?
