Combined with its high throughput and secure architecture, the Oasis Network will power private, scalable DeFi, revolutionizing Open Finance and expanding it beyond traders and early adopters to a mass market. Its unique privacy features will not only redefine DeFi and Web 3 but also create a new type of digital asset called Tokenized Data. This will enable users to take control of the data they generate and earn rewards for staking it with applications, creating the first-ever responsible data economy. - -![Oasis Timeline](../images/oasis-network/timeline.png) - -### Why the Oasis Network? - -**Privacy-Enabled Blockchain:** The Oasis Network is the world’s leading scalable, privacy-enabled blockchain. ParaTimes on the Oasis Network can leverage privacy-preserving technology enabling users to share their data to earn income while keeping it totally confidential, unlocking new Web 3 use cases like digital identity and private metaverse applications for blockchain. - -**Scalable, Private DeFi:** The DeFi market is still in its infancy, with trillions of dollars in existing financial markets ready to enter the space. The expansion of DeFi is limited by a lack of privacy, security as well as high fees. The result is an overloaded and expensive system that’s impossible to scale. Oasis Network is a Layer 1 blockchain that can expand DeFi beyond early adopters into mass-market adoption. - -**Enables Data Tokenization:** The Oasis Network can Tokenize Data. This will unlock game-changing use cases for blockchain, and an entirely new ecosystem of apps and projects on the network, powering the next generation of privacy-first applications that reward users for the value they create. - -**Rapidly Growing Community:** The Oasis Network has a thriving community of node operators, developers, enterprise partners, ambassadors, and community members engaged in global social channels. - -**Top-Tier Team:** The Oasis Team is made up of top talent, from around the world, with backgrounds from Apple, Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, Harvard, and more. All the core engineering team are PHD level educated and all committed to growing and expanding the impact of the Oasis Network. - -### Technology Highlights - -* **Separates consensus and execution into two layers**, the consensus layer and - the ParaTime layer, for better scalability and increased versatility. -* Separation of consensus and execution allows **multiple ParaTimes to process - transactions in parallel**, meaning complex workloads processed on one - ParaTime won’t slow down transactions on another. -* **The ParaTime layer is entirely decentralized, allowing anyone to register, - develop and deploy their own ParaTime.** Each ParaTime can be developed in - isolation to meet the needs of a specific application, such as confidential - compute, open or closed committees, and more. -* ParaTimes can be used as a **truly scalable and fundamentally cheaper L2 - technology** since the transaction gas fee and congestion doesn't affect the - underlying consensus layer block and the other way around. -* The network’s sophisticated discrepancy detection makes **Oasis more efficient - than sharding and parachains**, requiring a smaller replication factor for the - same level of security. -* There are **3 ParaTimes** built by the Oasis core team and currently deployed - on the network for general availability: - * **Sapphire ParaTime, the EVM-Compatible confidential smart contract ParaTime** - enables confidential computation of the smart contracts written in Solidity - or other EVM-compatible language. DApp developers can integrate Sapphire for - privacy-preserving data storage, governance, and computation into their - applications with little or no additional work to existing smart contracts - code. - * **Cipher ParaTime, the confidential smart contract ParaTime**, was the first - ParaTime deployed by the Oasis team that supports privacy-preserving smart - contracts. As with other compute ParaTimes, it boasts high throughput, - instant finality, and low fees with added privacy-preserving features. - Cipher enables DEX’s to stop front-running transactions, NFT users to - protect their assets privately, and can potentially unlock trillions in - credit and lending markets from traditional finance. Cipher executes smart - contracts compiled in **Oasis Wasm**. Currently, we offer tooling for the - [Rust programming language] which is very rigorous about memory management - and thus suitable for security-first dApps. - * **Emerald ParaTime, the EVM-Compatible ParaTime**, was built to solve the - problems faced by Solidity developers. High fees and low throughput. Emerald - solves both of these problems by increasing the throughput of transactions - to 1,000 per second and reducing fees by 99%+ compared to Ethereum. This - means more users will be able to use and build on the network. Emerald does - not support confidential computation. - -[Rust programming language]: https://www.rust-lang.org/ - -## New Application Domains - -### Scalable, Private DeFi - -![Scalable, Private DeFi](../images/oasis-network/features.png) - -The DeFi market is still in its infancy, with trillions of dollars in existing financial markets ready to enter the space. The expansion of DeFi is limited by a lack of privacy, security, and high fees. The result is an overloaded and expensive system that’s impossible to scale. - -The Oasis Network is ideal for DeFi applications due to its scalability, instant finality, 99% lower gas fees versus Ethereum, and high throughput. - -The Oasis Network is designed to support confidential smart contracts that keep data private while being processed. By providing end-to-end data confidentiality on Blockchain, the Oasis Network unlocks new and exciting use cases in DeFi. From under-collateralized lending to preventing front/back running, the Oasis Network can help expand DeFi beyond traders and early adopters to a mainstream market. - -![Oasis Network in lending market](../images/oasis-network/lending_market.png) - -The network’s cutting-edge scalability features can help unblock DeFi as it works today, fixing the high-transaction fees and slow throughput currently plaguing other Layer 1 networks. Combined, Oasis’ unique ability to provide scalable, private DeFi is expected to make it the leading platform for unlocking the next generation of DeFi markets and use cases. - -![Comparison of networks](../images/oasis-network/compare_networks.png) - -### Data Tokenization & A Responsible Data Economy - -The Oasis Network’s combination of confidential computing and blockchain enables a new paradigm called Tokenized Data. Blockchain allows for logging and enforcement of usage policies with high integrity and ‘auditability’. Confidential computing ensures that data remains private during computation and cannot be reused without permission. This capsule of data + policies creates a new kind of digital asset that can be consumed, along with specific guidelines for a fee or exchange of value. - -With Tokenized Data, the Oasis Network can power the next generation of privacy-first applications and unlock a new responsible data society. Data providers on the Oasis Network can put their Tokenized Data to use. They can earn rewards by staking their data with apps that want to analyze it or control how their most sensitive information is consumed by the services they use. - -![Data tokenization on the Oasis](../images/oasis-network/data_tokenization.png) - -Many projects have already begun building apps that leverage data tokenization on the Oasis. Here are just a few examples: - -:::tip Case Study: Binance CryptoSafe Alliance - -Crypto theft and attacks are on the rise, and exchanges need a platform to identify and ban bad actors. The CryptoSafe Platform was developed by Oasis Labs and Binance to allow exchanges to share threat intelligence data. Because of the Oasis Network’s support for confidential compute, exchange data is kept confidential even while it's being compared. - -::: - -:::tip Case Study: Fortune 500 Healthcare Provider - -A Fortune 500 healthcare provider wanted to share data with external parties while retaining control of the data and protecting the confidentiality of patient data. Using an Oasis Labs-built API this leading healthcare company is able to track, trace, and control data usage even when shared with 3rd parties. - -::: - -:::tip Case Study: Nebula Genomics - -Nebula Genomics wants to differentiate their product from other competitors by giving their users control of their genetic data. Using Oasis’ framework, customers can retain ownership of their genomic data and Nebula Genomics can run analysis on the data without seeing the customer’s raw information. - -::: - -![Projects and Partners](../images/oasis-network/partners.png) - -## Technology Overview - -The Oasis Network is a Layer 1, proof-of-stake, decentralized network. It has two main components, the consensus layer and the ParaTime layer. - -1. The **consensus layer** is a scalable, high-throughput, secure, proof-of-stake consensus run by a decentralized set of validator nodes. -2. The **ParaTime layer** hosts many parallel runtimes (ParaTimes), each representing a replicated compute environment with shared state. - -### Scalability - -The Oasis Network’s impressive scalability is achieved through a cutting-edge set of features that provide faster transaction speeds and higher throughput than other networks. The top-tier performance of the network is largely due to its separation of compute and consensus operations into the consensus layer and ParaTime layer. This separation allows multiple ParaTimes to process transactions in parallel, meaning complex workloads processed on one ParaTime won’t slow down faster, simpler transactions on another. Plus, the network’s sophisticated discrepancy detection makes Oasis more efficient than sharding and parachains, requiring a smaller replication factor for the same level of security. - -![Scalability](../images/architecture/technology_scalability.svg) - -### Privacy-First - -The Oasis Network designed Cipher, the first-ever confidential ParaTime with support for confidential smart contracts. In a confidential ParaTime, nodes are required to use a type of secure computing technology called a TEE (trusted execution environment.) TEEs act as a hypothetical black box for smart contract execution in a confidential ParaTime. Encrypted data goes into the black box along with the smart contract, where the data is decrypted, processed by the smart contract, and then encrypted before it is sent out of the TEE. This process ensures that data remains confidential and is never leaked to the node operator or application developer The Oasis Eth/WASI Runtime is an open-source example of a confidential ParaTime that uses Intel SGX. Other secure compute technology can also be used, such as ZKP, HE, or other secure enclaves. In the future, we hope to support additional computation techniques such as secure multi-party compute, federated learning, and more. - -Confidentiality unlocks a range of new use cases on blockchain. Personal or sensitive data, such as identity documents, social security numbers, bank statements, financial and credit records, health information, internet usage data, IoT data like fitness records and location data could all be used by apps on the Oasis Network, all the while protecting the user’s privacy. Connecting all these data sources is something even today you wouldn’t even dream of doing, especially not on an existing public Layer 1 blockchain. With Oasis, confidentiality and data tokenization together will give people the ability to securely, privately share their data, turning the data they create every day into income-generating assets. - -![Secure enclave](../images/oasis-network/secure_enclave.png) - -### Versatility - -Designed to support the next generation of blockchain applications, the Oasis Network is incredibly versatile, agile, and customizable. Namely, each ParaTime can be developed in isolation to meet the needs of a specific application. ParaTime committees can be made large or small, open or closed, allowing for faster or more secure execution depending on the requirements of a particular use case. Nodes can be required to have specific hardware, such as Secure Enclaves on a confidential ParaTime. Each ParaTime can similarly run different Runtime VMs (ParaTime Engines), such as EVM backwards compatible engine, Rust-based smart contract language, or a Data tokenization engine. Finally, to support enterprise and developer use cases, ParaTimes can be made Permissioned or Permissionless, allowing consortiums to have their own closed ParaTime, or communities to have full decentralized open ParaTimes. - -The versatility of the ParaTime layer allows the Oasis Network to expand and grow to address a broad set of new and exciting use cases while still maintaining the same core ledger and consensus layer. - -## Traction and Adoption - -### The Oasis Ecosystem - -The Oasis Network has a thriving and rapidly growing ecosystem consisting of industry-leading app developers, blockchain infrastructure teams, node operators, universities, and more. We are proud to highlight some of our key partners and community members in the chart below: - -![The Oasis Ecosystem](../images/oasis-network/ecosystem.jpg) - -### The DeFi Ecosystem - -Emerald, The EVM Compatible Paratime is now live on mainnet, and developers are releasing new projects all the time.
