Grayscale®, the globe’s leading crypto-native asset manager, just dropped its latest investment vehicle: the Grayscale® Space and Time Trust. This new Trust gives accredited investors a front-row seat to SXT, the native token powering Space and Time—a blockchain designed to handle real-time, verifiable data processing for everything from smart contracts to AI training and decentralized apps.
Why Space and Time Matters
If you’ve ever wondered why blockchains can feel sluggish when crunching numbers, here’s the scoop: traditional chains are built for security and decentralization—but not for heavy-duty queries. At the same time, traditional databases are lightning-fast when it comes to data crunching—but they rely on centralized systems. They can be risky if something goes wrong. Space and Time steps in to offer the best of both worlds. It offers the trust and transparency of blockchain, combined with the performance and speed you’d expect from enterprise-grade data platforms.
“As we enter the next age of computing, transparency is paramount. Verifiable data can help ensure that we can trust the underlying datasets used for AI and smart contract applications,” said Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Head of Product & Research at Grayscale. “Grayscale Space and Time Trust provides investors with access to a project that combines blockchain technology with enterprise-grade data architecture, enabling a wide range of use cases across Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.”
The Space and Time Foundation echoes that mission: “AI and blockchain are converging around one critical need: verifiable data. Space and Time is built to solve this problem, bringing verifiability, transparency, and auditability to the data and compute that will drive the next generation of intelligent and decentralized applications.”
How SXT Keeps the Network Honest
SXT isn’t just a ticker symbol. Holders can stake their tokens to validate activity, helping guard the system against bad actors. They also pay SXT as “gas” for data processing. As DeFi projects demand ever-more reliable data and AI models require provable inputs, Space and Time’s high-speed data layer could become a go-to piece of Web 3.0 infrastructure.
The Trust mirrors Grayscale’s single-asset formula: it invests 100% in SXT, opens daily subscription windows for eligible accredited investors, and tracks the token’s market value (minus fees). But all private placements carry risks. SXT is young and hasn’t faced every market storm yet. Digital assets can swing wildly—and Trust shares may trade at a premium or discount on secondary markets, if they even get listed at all. Be prepared: there’s a chance you could lose your entire stake.
Since 2013, Grayscale has built its reputation on crypto investing—offering everything from Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts to thematic funds in DeFi and NFTs. With the launch of the Space and Time Trust, it’s doubling down on cutting-edge blockchain tech. For investors hungry to explore the next wave of decentralized innovation, this new Trust may just be the ticket.
