Space and Time, which is backed by Microsoft's venture capital arm M1, is a data warehouse to support decentralized applications that use artificial intelligence (AI) and smart contracts.

The Space and Time Foundations says the network is built to solve the "one critical need," around which AI and blockchain are converging: verifiable data.

"Verifiable data can help ensure that we can trust the underlying datasets used for AI and smart contract applications,” Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, head of product at Grayscale, said.

The aim of blockchain-based AI is to prevent the data being controlled by a small number of tech behemoths, who would thereby be able to dominate the industry.

Investing in SXT through its new single-asset trust, Grayscale will provide professional traders with a means to gain exposure to this sector of blockchain finance.

Specialized AI detects 92% of real-world DeFi exploits

hackers (Modified by CoinDesk)

New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.

What to know:

  • A purpose-built AI security agent detected vulnerabilities in 92% of 90 exploited DeFi contracts ($96.8 million in exploit value), compared with 34% and $7.5 million for a baseline GPT-5.1-based coding agent running on the same underlying model.
  • The gap came from domain-specific security methodology layered on top of the model, not differences in core AI capability, according to the report.
  • The findings come as prior research from Anthropic and OpenAI shows AI agents can execute end-to-end smart contract exploits at low cost, accelerating concerns that offensive AI capabilities are scaling faster than defensive adoption.
