Microsoft-Backed Space and Time Launches AI App Builder on Base

In brief

The Microsoft-backed blockchain network Space and Time on Thursday launched Dreamspace, an AI-powered app builder designed to let users create and deploy on-chain applications and smart contracts without writing code.

The platform has been in beta since August 2025, according to Space and Time co-founder Scott Dykstra, and the company said more than 34,000 apps were created before Thursday’s public release.

“It’s about making it really easy to deploy an app that has a smart contract, where that smart contract is audited and you, as the creator, actually own it, sign it, and deploy it to an [Ethereum-based] chain,” Dykstra told Decrypt.

Dykstra compared Dreamspace to Lovable, an AI coding platform that lets users create apps from plain-language prompts, but said Dreamspace is specifically designed to generate, audit, and deploy smart contracts alongside the front-end applications that interact with them.

“Anybody can use a tool like Lovable to build a website or a little app that has a back end, but we’re talking about actually generating smart contracts, auditing them, and deploying them with a front end that understands the smart contract,” Dykstra said.

According to Space and Time, Dreamspace was built using Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI, with front ends hosted on Azure and smart contracts deployable to any Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchain.

Founded in 2022, Space and Time provides blockchain-based data infrastructure for on-chain finance and has increasingly pushed into AI, including through last year’s partnership with Bless Network to support AI agents.

Dreamspace has already onboarded about 140,000 students, Dykstra said, while the company said schools in Indonesia have created AI labs and curriculum centered around the platform.

The platform defaults to Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network, because Base supported the product during beta testing and user growth, Dykstra said. Space and Time also said Base enables transactions costing less than one cent and speeds of under one second.

"We're building Base as an open stack for the global economy, and that means making it possible for anyone to participate as a builder, not just a user, and especially using cutting-edge tools like AI,” Head of AI Developer Relations at Base, Eric Brown, said in a statement. "This exciting new project makes starting an onchain business as simple as having an idea worth building."
