Today, Sui announced the start of RPC 2.0, a GraphQL RPC service that will be integrated into the SxT blockchain to make it easier for developers to access on-chain Sui data.

?@SpaceandTimeDB is integrating RPC 2.0 – meaning that developers can now retrieve and build with Sui data in an easier, faster, and more secure way ? https://t.co/Yc0hIHWP6L

In November Sui announced that it had entered into a partnership with Space and Time (SxT), a novel Later 1 blockchain and smart contract platform, designed by the core research team behind Meta’s former initiative on Diem and Libra. The SxT is a verifiable compute layer for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Blockchain, making it the preferred data warehouse for the Sui ecosystem.

What is RPC 2.0?

RPC 2.0 is a GraphQL-based remote procedure call service introduced by Sui to replace its original RPC and enhance streamlined and more secure interactions within its ecosystem. To make it easier for developers to reach out and incorporate on-chain data from Sui, it has integrated RPC 2.0 within its indexing platform. 

“Space and Time makes it easy for developers to build analytics, dapps, games and dashboards with ZK-proven Sui data. We’re excited to partner with the Space and Time team to integrate Sui’s latest GraphQL-based RPC into SxT and enable users to interact seamlessly with Sui’s data.  This expanded collaboration highlights our commitment to pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology and delivering real-world applications that meet the needs of our users.”—Evan Cheng, the Co-Founder, CEO Mysten Labs, and the originator of the Sui network

Benefits of SxT indexing service

Sui’s data is being indexed in real-time to ensure zero-knowledge compatibility. Within SxT’s storage facility, a complete copy of the SUi blockchain is saved into relational database tables. Thai setup allows developers to query and analyze the on-chain data, join it with off-chain datasets, generate zero-knowledge proofs, and transmit the result to their Sui smart contracts, all within block times. 

Space and Time is excited to provide the Sui developer community with a powerful set of tools for retrieving, processing, and integrating Sui data into dapps. We’ve already rolled out a powerful data warehouse with all of Sui’s data synced to the tip. We’re thrilled to now also be supporting the Sui community with the next gen of RPC nodes, which will make it easier for developers to access on-chain transactions."—Scott Dykstra, the CTO and Co-Founder of Space and Time

What you should know about Sui and SxT

Sui is the prominent and first-of-its-kind Layer 1 blockchain. It operates an object-centric model that is based on the Move programming language to enable parallel execution and robust on-chain assets. It is a platform that supports many applications to operate at a very fast speed and low cost. 

SxT, on the other hand, is an ecosystem that combines Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain. It is a platform through which Space and Time connects tamperproof on-chain and off-chain data to smart contracts and LLMs to help deliver enterprise use cases. 

Conclusion

The expanded partnership between Sui and SxT demonstrates a shared commitment to advancing blockchain technology and enabling the creation of real-world applications that meet user requirements. The collaboration aims to tightly couple their service for an integrated experience targeting developers who use the Sui ecosystem.
