Microsoft Shatters Blockchain Bottlenecks With Real-Time Data Breakthrough

Big Tech just rewrote the rules of decentralized finance—again. Microsoft’s new blockchain processing engine crushes latency, delivering sub-second finality where legacy systems crawl.

The killer feature? A distributed ledger that actually scales. TradFi banks take note: your ’high-frequency’ settlement systems now look like dial-up.

Early tests show the platform handles 100K TPS without breaking a sweat—enough to make even Ethereum maximalists raise an eyebrow. Though let’s be honest, Wall Street will still find a way to charge three business days for ’processing.’

In brief

• Microsoft integrates verifiable real-time blockchain data into Fabric thanks to Space and Time.
• This collaboration facilitates secure access to on-chain data for companies and developers.

A major breakthrough for blockchain data access on Microsoft Fabric

The integration of Space and Time now allows Microsoft Fabric users to access. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Sui are among the blockchains indexed by SXT via zero-knowledge proofs (ZK). This guarantees the reliability and security of the information!

This solution is based on a decentralized network of validators, ensuring data transparency and integrity. Nate Holiday, CEO of Space and Time, emphasizes that this collaboration democratizes access to blockchain data. It is especially advantageous for large institutions (notably banks) that can now exploit these on-chain data directly within their applications, via their integration in Microsoft Fabric, thanks to the Azure OneLake platform.

Therelies on a ZK coprocessor: the “SQL proof.” It queries and verifies the data in under a second, enhancing speed and security.

Towards massive adoption of blockchain technology in businesses

Backed by Microsoft’s venture capital arm M12, Space and Time Labs raised $50 million to develop this. Integrating verifiable blockchain data into Microsoft Fabric thus represents a key step towards convergence:

• traditional cloud databases;
• smart contracts (via an efficient blockchain oracle).

Thispaves the way for sophisticated and secure Web3 applications. But not only that! It also facilitates the exploitation of on-chain data by companies.

Concretely, the challenge is to accelerate innovation around blockchain and democratize access to it. This will transform the way cryptographic data is used in the professional world.

This pioneering integration of blockchain into Microsoft Fabric marks an important technological turning point. It promises to strengthen the reliability, speed, and security of blockchain data exploitation for companies. It also opens the door to many innovations in the fields of Web3 and decentralized finance.
