Oasis Foundation

The Oasis Foundation is known for Oasis Sapphire, the first and only confidential Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) that empowers Web3 and AI with Smart Privacy. Oasis Sapphire provides end-to-end encryption and encrypted storage for executing contracts that include secret data. It supports Web2 authentication methods like TouchID and Passkeys and enables developers to build EVM-based dApps using smart contracts with Smart Privacy. The Oasis Privacy Layer (OPL) adds instant privacy to existing dApps running on any EVM network. The Oasis network’s architecture consists of a consensus layer, which is a scalable, high-throughput, secure, proof-of-stake consensus run by a decentralized set of validator nodes, and the ParaTime layer, which hosts many parallel runtimes (ParaTimes) representing replicated compute environments with shared state. Oasis Sapphire achieves 6-second block times and instant finality, supports precompiled contracts for various cryptographic operations, and integrates off-chain components via the ROFL framework. It also supports decentralized AI training with privacy and verifiability, and the evaluation of fairness in AI models. Additionally, Oasis Sapphire supports a wide range of applications, including DeFi, gaming, NFTs, DAOs, and decentralized AI, through the use of confidential smart contracts. The Oasis ecosystem includes tools like Oasis Nexus, the official indexer tool, ROSE Wallet for digital asset management, Oasis Explorer for on-chain activity analysis, and Oasis Playground for exploring demo dApps and resources. The network’s modular architecture provides scalability, customizability, and flexibility, making it a robust platform for secure and private decentralized applications.
