Space and Time Introduces Stable ZK Coprocessing Payments Using USDC

Space and Time, known for its zero-knowledge (ZK) coprocessing technology, has revealed that it now supports

payments to expand access to its verifiable onchain compute services. Starting September 18, this upgrade is intended to simplify the payment structure for coprocessing by letting users pay for computational tasks using USDC stablecoin. The company stated this step is consistent with its goal of making secure, privacy-focused computation more widely available throughout the blockchain sector.

Space and Time’s ZK coprocessing enables developers to move demanding calculations off-chain while keeping the outcomes provable. By introducing support for USDC, a stablecoin tied to the US dollar, the company addresses a major adoption challenge: the unpredictability and complexity of conventional token-based payments. This change brings a more consistent and scalable payment method, especially valuable to enterprise users who require reliable financial systems for their smart contract processes.

The announcement explains that the integration utilizes the Ethereum network’s USDC and fits directly into Space and Time’s existing suite of tools. The transition does not disrupt current user workflows, as payment is handled automatically within the compute layer. As a result, developers can remain focused on building decentralized applications without needing to manage the complications of crypto price fluctuations.

This update is part of a larger movement in blockchain, where stablecoins are increasingly used for transactional purposes. As ZK-based technologies become more prominent in business settings, the demand for stable and dependable payment options has grown. With USDC integration,

aims to attract a broader range of customers, including those in finance, logistics, and data analytics, where stable finances are essential.

Experts in the industry suggest that this addition could also promote wider use of ZK technologies. Making coprocessing more affordable may lower entry barriers for smaller developers and new businesses, potentially leading to a more varied and inventive ecosystem of ZK applications and further boosting adoption of secure and verifiable computing on public blockchains.
