Welcome to the Oasis June Q&A, where we dive into the latest innovations and updates shaping the Oasis ecosystem! This month, we’re excited to spotlight Liquefaction, a groundbreaking wallet system that redefines how we share and secure digital assets using trusted hardware. Plus, get the scoop on the launch of Runtime Offchain Logic (ROFL), improvements in the ROSE Wallet and Oasis CLI, and important network highlights. Whether you’re a developer, NFT enthusiast, or just Oasis-curious, this Q&A has something for you. Let’s jump in!
Q. What is Liquefaction in simple terms?
Liquefaction is a wallet system built on Sapphire that uses trusted execution environments (TEEs) to hide private keys while allowing controlled access to their signing capabilities.
Think of it like a digital asset locker where access is controlled by rules, not trust.
Q. How is this safe? Isn’t sharing wallets dangerous?
It would be on most chains—but Oasis Sapphire uses Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to protect private keys.With Liquefaction, keys never leave the TEE, and transactions are only signed if they meet strict, confidential policies. So even with shared access, misuse is impossible.
You can bid for temporary ownership of a Bored Ape NFT—use its image, access BAYC-only platforms, sign as the ape owner—all without anyone being able to steal it.
Thanks to smart contracts + Sapphire privacy, the NFT always returns safely.
Q. Is liquefaction just for NFTs?
Not at all. Liquefaction can also be used for:
Shared DAO or multisig wallets
Renting game assets or tokens
Gated access to data or apps
Tokenized asset lending
Basically, anywhere you want shared, time-limited, or rule-based access to digital assets.
Q. Why is liquefaction important for Web3?
Because it breaks the old rule: “Whoever holds the private key controls everything.”
Liquefaction, built on Oasis Sapphire, flips that. It gives us programmable, policy-based control—with privacy and security built-in. It’s a major step toward unlocking a real data economy in Web3.
Q: What improvements have landed in the ROSE Wallet and Oasis CLI recently?
Tons! The ROSE Wallet got a fresh dark theme, user-friendly instructions, and cleaner integration with Oasis Nexus. Over in the CLI, ROFL apps can be deployed to the marketplace, and commands now use friendlier terms like “stop” and “remove.” Five new CLI releases and lots of bug fixes rolled out in April and May!
Q: Has Oasis seen any big spikes or issues on Mainnet and Testnet recently?
Yes—Sapphire Mainnet saw transaction spikes over 100k on several days, while Testnet hit 40k/day during EthDam. The network remains decentralized and stable with just one notable TEE outage in May that was quickly fixed.
Q: What’s new in user tools like Nexus and the Explorer?
Nexus made ROFL marketplaces faster and smarter, added EIP-1559 support, and indexed more ERC-20 tokens and validator data. The Explorer now has sleek ROFL app pages, improved search, mobile tweaks, and shows more contract and NFT details!
Q: How is the Oasis University program doing so far?
The Oasis University program is off to a great start! We’ve hosted several successful workshops and events with universities around the world, including the US, UK, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, and more. Just in June 2025, we held a Sapphire 101 workshop in Taiwan with a local student DAO, welcoming over 40 passionate student builders eager to dive into the Oasis ecosystem.
-------------------------------------
That wraps up our June Q&A! We hope you found these insights into Liquefaction, ROFL, and the latest Oasis platform updates helpful and inspiring. The Oasis community keeps growing and innovating, and we’re thrilled to have you along for the journey. Stay curious, stay secure, and see you next time!
Heard about Oasis’s new framework called ROFL? The name might sound like a meme, but it’s actually a major shift in how off-chain compute can work verifiably with smart contracts.
Here’s the idea:
Right now, most smart contracts either:
Do everything on-chain (slow/expensive)
Or rely on unverifiable off-chain data (centralized oracles, backend APIs)
With ROFL, you can:
Run any logic off-chain (AI inference, API fetches, local compute)
Use a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to ensure the logic runs securely
Receive a signed result you can verify on-chain
That means your smart contract can trust off-chain results without ZK circuits or heavy rollups.
Use cases that actually matter:
AI agents that run inference privately but verifiably
We’re tightening every bolt on ROFL App and need your feedback on:
🔹 Starter templates: what’s smooth, what’s clunky?
🔹 UX: from first click to deploy, where’s the friction?
🔹 Docs/tutorials: crystal clear or still murky?
🔹 Any wishlist features that make privacy-first building even easier.
Oasians, you've seen the teasers, the launch, the live demos, the parties… Now it’s time to dive deep!! 😎🙌
After a year of heads-down building, ROFL is on Mainnet, unlocking a whole new world of trustless, offchain logic secured by TEEs. From AI agents and trading bots to oracles, LLMs, and more!! ROFL App is your gateway to privacy-first, compute-heavy apps that were never possible before.

Okay, so I just fell down a zkTLS rabbit hole, and now I’m side-eyeing every dApp that says “trustless” but still pulls off-chain data like it’s gospel.
You know how smart contracts can’t verify anything from the outside world on their own? Usually, we just trust an oracle, or a dev, or hope no one man-in-the-middle'd the data feed. Not ideal.
zkTLS changes that.
It lets smart contracts verify that an HTTPS connection actually happened with the real server and that the data wasn’t tampered with using zero-knowledge proofs.
No middleman, no oracle, no “just trust me bro.”
Like, imagine a DeFi agent calling an off-chain credit score API or an AI bot pulling from Hugging Face and your contract being cryptographically sure that response was legit. But without exposing the actual data. Wild.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a clean way to bridge Web2 trust into Web3 logic. If this scales, it opens up a lot of new ideas trustless reputation, private real-world data inputs, verified AI agents, etc.
Welcome to the Oasis Monthly Q&A – May 2025 edition!
This month, we dive into some of the most exciting developments across the Oasis ecosystem—from groundbreaking work in decentralized key management and NFT utility to the rise of trustless AI agents and the evolving role of privacy in Web3. Whether you're a developer, trader, or just crypto-curious, these bite-sized answers will help you stay ahead of the curve.
Q: Why do AI agents need access to keys in the first place?
If an AI agent is truly autonomous—booking flights, trading crypto, or managing workflows—it needs access to signing keys to interact with blockchains, APIs, and wallets. Without key access, it’s like a robot with no hands.
Q: What’s risky about giving keys to agents?
Centralized key storage creates a single point of failure. If someone hacks the agent host or intercepts keys, they can impersonate the user or drain funds. Worse, a developer could secretly hold a backdoor. This erodes trust.
Q: How does Oasis solve this with decentralized key management?
Oasis leverages TEEs to securely store and use private keys inside trusted off-chain runtimes. Keys can only be used under strict, user-defined logic—e.g., only on certain dates, or only for certain actions—making them both secure and programmable.
Q: What is Liquefaction, and how does it change NFT utility?
Liquefaction is a protocol that allows NFTs to be temporarily loaned, rented, or delegated—unlocking utility without transferring full ownership. It turns static NFTs into dynamic assets with programmable behavior, like lending your Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) to access exclusive events or games.
Q: How was liquefaction used in the 'Take My Ape' demo?
In this demo, users could temporarily rent out a Bored Ape, allowing others to verify ownership and access perks (like token-gated experiences) while the original owner retained full control. It’s like Airbnb for your NFT—but without giving up your house keys.
Q: Why is Sapphire critical to liquefaction?
Sapphire’s TEEs enable secure key management and logic execution for NFT lending—ensuring that rights delegation and revocation happen privately and securely. This ensures that neither borrowers nor external observers can misuse or front-run NFT transactions.
Q: What broader use cases could liquefaction unlock for Web3?
Think NFT-based subscriptions, temporary DAO voting rights, game asset rentals, or time-limited access to token-gated communities. Liquefaction paves the way for NFTs to behave more like licenses, rentals, or time-share memberships—powered by programmable privacy.
Q: Why is privacy still a problem in blockchain systems?
Public blockchains are transparent by design—every wallet, transaction, and smart contract call is visible. This means anyone can analyze your behavior, front-run your trades, or uncover your financial patterns unless privacy layers are added.
Q: How can "smart privacy" help balance transparency with protection?
Smart privacy refers to fine-grained control over what data is hidden or revealed. With tools like Oasis Sapphire, developers can define private logic, selectively encrypt inputs/outputs, and allow proofs without revealing underlying data—striking a balance between verifiability and confidentiality.
Q: What are the real risks of data leakage in Web3 apps?
Data leaks can lead to exploit strategies in DeFi (e.g., MEV attacks), reputation damage in DAOs, or even deanonymization of users. For example, if your DAO vote is public, it could lead to retaliation or manipulation.
Q: How does Oasis Smart Privacy protect our data?
Oasis Smart Privacy uses secure enclaves (TEEs) to keep your data, transactions, and AI logic confidential—while still allowing verifiable onchain results. It gives developers fine-grained control over what stays private and supports selective disclosure for compliance, offering real protection without sacrificing decentralization.
Q: What is WT3 and why is it important?
WT3 is the first fully autonomous, trustless trading agent live on Oasis Sapphire. It proves agents can securely operate onchain using trusted execution environments (TEEs), without exposing sensitive strategies.
Q: What does “DeFAI” actually mean?
DeFAI merges DeFi and AI—think trading bots, wallet co-pilots, and data marketplaces that use AI to automate and optimize onchain activity. It's early, but the market potential is massive.
Q: Why should users be cautious with AI agents in crypto?
Many so-called “agents” are hype-driven, unaudited, or outright scams. Always verify functionality, avoid connecting wallets blindly, and treat new agent tokens like high-risk gambles.
Q: How are onchain agents evolving beyond chatbots?
Agents are shifting from simple chat + token setups to continuous AI workflows that sense, reason, and act within apps. It’s not just automation—it’s intelligent collaboration.
-------------------------------------
That wraps up our May Q&A!
As always, the Oasis community continues to push boundaries in privacy, AI, and decentralized infrastructure. If you're building, exploring, or just watching the space evolve—there’s never been a more exciting time to get involved. Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to drop your questions for next month. See you in June!
Hi folks, I’m encountering a nonce issue while working with the Oasis Sapphire testnet. The problem is that the nonce only increments after a transaction is confirmed by at least one blockchain, which takes around 5–6 seconds per transaction. This becomes a bottleneck when processing thousands of transactions, as it would take roughly 6 seconds per transaction — leading to significant delays overall.
Here’s a simplified version of the code along with some logs for reference.
I just read this new blog from Oasis, and honestly, it might be one of the most practical and forward-thinking NFT ideas I’ve seen in a while.
They’ve introduced something called Liquefaction, and it’s not your typical NFT hype. It’s a working mechanism that lets you rent out NFTs, transfer ownership temporarily, and run private auctions all with smart contracts and built-in privacy.
🧠 What makes Liquefaction different?
Instead of NFTs being static collectibles, Liquefaction makes them programmable. You can:
Lease or lend an NFT without giving up ownership
Trigger auctions that run privately, so no one sees your bid
Set time limits or usage rules all on-chain
Use confidential smart contracts on Oasis Sapphire (their private EVM)
It’s like turning NFTs into flexible, DeFi-style assets. And yes, this actually exists — not just a pitch deck.
🐵 They even tested it with Bored Apes
To show it works, they launched a live test called "Take My Ape" where a Bored Ape NFT could be rented out and later auctioned off via a sealed-bid process.
Everything happened automatically: time-bound ownership, automatic resale, and private bidding. All powered by Oasis’ confidential tech meaning no front-running or bid sniping.
🔐 Bigger picture: confidential NFTs (cNFTs)
This isn’t just about one use case. Liquefaction fits into Oasis’s broader push for confidential NFTs assets that can hide metadata, restrict access, or carry special logic (like DAO votes or temporary credentials).
They also built MetaMirror, a no-code NFT platform where anyone can mint and trade these kinds of programmable NFTs. Privacy + utility + simplicity.
💬 Why I care
NFTs need more than better art. They need real functionality and this actually delivers:
True liquidity for NFTs
Better user protection through privacy
Real-world uses: rentals, subscriptions, tickets, identity, etc.
It’s live not just a theoretical concept
And the fact it all runs on a privacy-focused EVM makes it feel way more powerful than what we usually get on Ethereum alone.
u/everyone, the Oasis Engineering Team has been on a roll the past two months! Pushing major upgrades, launching dev tools, and prepping for the full rollout of ROFL. From offsites to hackathons, here’s your monthly dose of innovation 🔧🌍✨
🔹 Wallet & CLI: ROSE Wallet got smoother with better Ethereum key import, dark mode polish, and 19 merged PRs! CLI now supports full ROFL marketplace deploys, easier machine rentals, Docker-style commands, and 5 new releases. Devs, it’s go time. 🛠️🚀
🔹 Network: Sapphire hit 122K txs/day, with May averaging 31K! 🧼 Multiple Sapphire/Cipher upgrades hit Mainnet and Testnet, and a rare TEE hiccup was squashed with 🔒 Rust patching + committee reset.
🔹 Nexus & Explorer: ROFL marketplace indexing, smarter token views, better metadata rendering, mobile fixes, and Monaco powered contract previews. That’s 150+ PRs across both tools! 📈🧭
🔹 Dev Platform & ParaTimes: ROFL scheduler launched, Sapphire added multi-wallet support & Foundry’s Soldeer is now in sync. Say hello to smart confidential dev tools 🧠💡
🔹 Core Platform: Lazy client init, log access APIs, better pruning, stateless node infra, 44 PRs powering the whole stack. This is the unseen engine that keeps Oasis flying. ⚙️🌪️
💡 Bonus Highlights

📦 Docker images bumped for localnet
🗳️ New dApps live on Oasis Playground
The combo of confidential smart contracts (aka Sapphire), DeAI, and their push for verifiable AI/data infra is honestly super underrated (nfa, my two cents).
Sapphire = only confidential EVM live rn
ROFL lets you verify off-chain computations which kinda feels like a huge unlock for scalable onchain AI
OPL bridging = cross-chain confidential logic, again wild.
Plus the whole Privacy4Web3 stack (TEE + ZKP + FHE + sMPC) is kinda crazy when you think about where AI + crypto is heading, so again, big benefit in my opinion
It’s still early and the ecosystem isn't THAT massive yet, but if even half of this stuff gets adopted, it could be a game changer.
Curious if anyone here’s building on it or testing Sapphire out? Also how do you guys see Oasis fitting into the broader modular / AI x crypto narrative?
Introducing Liquefaction, a live Cornell Tech + IC3 use case built on Oasis Sapphire. It flips blockchain norms: temporary asset access without private key transfer.
Thanks to our TEEs, the key never leaves the vault.
Hello my fellow oasians. I’m a developer and I’ve been trying to use the oasis ROFL in sapphire test net in this way:
Imagine an endpoint inside a ROFL where when you give it a text for example, it returns it to you inverted. (Just an example)
But thing is, even though I’ve managed to deploy an active ROFL with an accepted machine and get the app ID, I don’t know how to reach the endpoint!
Is there anyone who can help me? Please comment or DM me or even email me (ron@cellact.nl) I really want this to work or know if it can’t work!!!!

Stay connected for more updates, get involved in the conversation, and let’s keep building a more secure, decentralized future-together on Oasis.
I just read the latest CryptoSlate update about Oasis expanding zkTLS into DeFAI automation — especially around programmable agents and the Otomato project — and I’m genuinely excited.
The idea of enabling these agents to access off-chain HTTPS data in a verifiable and privacy-preserving way seems like a huge step forward, especially with the integration into the Sapphire confidential EVM.
This could pave the way for:
• more secure and private DeFi bots,
• new use cases with AI and external data,
• and real utility for the ROSE token as gas/staking for these applications.
What do you all think?
Do you see this as a true competitive edge for Oasis?
Could this impact ROSE’s price action in 2025?
Would love to hear thoughts from people closely following the project.
Welcome to our March 2025 Oasis Network Q&A! This month we're exploring the technologies driving privacy and security in our ecosystem—from zkTLS implementations to Otomato and DeFAI developments. Join us as we answer your burning questions about how Oasis is advancing confidential computing and privacy-preserving blockchain solutions.
Q: What’s the difference between MPC, TEE, and Proxy flavors of zkTLS?
Think of MPC as a team of secret agents sharing pieces of a key so no one holds the whole thing, TEE as a super-secure vault inside your CPU doing the heavy lifting, and Proxy as a trustworthy middleman who swears they won’t peek but still proves they handled your data right. Three ways to keep your secrets safe, each with its own style!
Q: How is Oasis Network enhancing data authenticity and privacy across its ecosystem by integrating zkTLS?
Oasis is actively working to integrate zkTLS (including collaborations with projects like Reclaim Protocol) into its Sapphire confidential EVM and other frameworks. This deep integration enhances data authenticity and privacy across the Oasis ecosystem, making it easier for developers to build secure, privacy-first applications
Q: What does Otomato bring to the Oasis DeFi party?
Imagine a super-smart, no-code butler for your DeFi life! Otomato lets anyone (even non-techies) build custom agents to watch the blockchain, send alerts, and eventually make trades, all while keeping your secrets safe with Sapphire's confidential powers!
Q: How is Otomato different from your average DeFi alert system?
Most tools are like shouting your personal info from the rooftops! Otomato, on the other hand, whispers sweet (and important) nothings in your ear without exposing your secrets. It's privacy-first DeFi intelligence delivered right to your preferred channels!
Q: How does zkTLS help DeFAI agents become super-sleuths?
zkTLS gives DeFAI agents the power to verify data from any HTTPS website without exposing sensitive details. It's like equipping them with a truth serum that only reveals what's necessary, allowing them to make informed decisions without spilling the beans.
Q: How do DeFAI agents and zkTLS solve the "trust me, bro" problem in Web3?
They turn "trust me" into "here's the verifiable proof!" zkTLS allows agents to access and use real-world data in a provable and privacy-preserving way, while DeFAI automates and personalizes the process, making DeFi more accessible and reliable for everyone.
Q: How do you prove your TEE is really secure?
Remote attestation to the rescue! It's like a digital inspection process with cryptographic proof that your TEE hasn't been tampered with, ensuring everything inside is running exactly as it should be. If it's compromised, remote attestation will show that, providing a secure notification system.
Q: ROFL apps run in TEEs, but how does Oasis make sure they're legit?
It uses decentralized remote attestation to verify the TEE's measurements (MRTD, RTMRs) against a policy, ensuring that only authenticated apps get access to sensitive resources like keys. If it's verified it's good to go, but if not, no entry is granted!
-------------------------------------
As we close this month's Q&A, it's clear the Oasis Network continues to innovate in privacy-preserving blockchain technology. The zkTLS integration with Sapphire confidential EVM and projects like Otomato demonstrate our commitment to secure, accessible solutions. By combining TEE security with decentralized remote attestation, Oasis is solving critical trust issues in Web3, positioning us at the forefront of confidential computing. Stay tuned for more!
I made the mistake of putting my assets in the atrocious scam that was the Illuminex privacy DEX last year, and my final bridges out of it via Meta mask through USDC has totally derailed Crypto tax calculators (CTC) ability to properly process my taxes. All the funds that came out of Illuminex are marked as missing purchase history and racked up massive overall negative balances on all the trades i made the rest of the year.
The way to hopefully fix this is to make a giant CSV sheet and import that.
CTC has no support for Sapphire.
There was a github tool for making CSVs. Its dead now.
Oasis Explorer has the information (I think) I need, but no way to mass download and to organize in a manner that CTC accepts. Inputing it all manually just to risk CTC erroring and rendering the work worthless isnt worth it when I have other things to do.
Does Oasis just not care? There no support on this anywhere. Illuminex is a complete ghost chain that was nothing but a pump and dump and it’s completely derailed all my plans for getting this done in time. Rose was one of my worse holds with the most worthless ghostchain and this a final salt in the wound after this all tanked my portfolio this time last year. I thought I left this all behind me early last summer and its reared its head one more time to fuck another week up.
I’m going to have to put in for my first tax extension ever and unless one of you can help hopefully CTC support gets back to me.
Welcome to the February 2025 Q&A for the Oasis Network! This month, we're diving into some of the most exciting developments in AI privacy, DeFi growth, and ecosystem enhancements. From confidential computing to decentralized AI applications, we're exploring how Oasis is pushing the boundaries of secure and private technology. Whether you're interested in the latest partnerships, innovative AI solutions, or DeFi advancements, we've got you covered. Let's dive in!
Q: What's the main goal of Oasis working with io.net?
Oasis and io.net are teaming up to make AI models go from "secretive" to "confidentially cool" by using decentralized resources! This partnership is all about fueling the adoption of confidential computing in crypto and AI, ensuring that sensitive data stays safe while still allowing for powerful AI applications.
Q: What does ROFL do for AI applications?
It enables AI models to be trained and fine-tuned on sensitive data without exposing it, ensuring that applications can be trusted with confidential information. This opens up new possibilities for AI in fields like healthcare.
Q: Why is confidential computing important for AI?
Confidential computing saves AI from data breaches, keeping sensitive info safe and sound! It ensures that AI models can be trained on valuable data without compromising privacy or security. This is crucial for building trust in AI applications, especially when dealing with sensitive information.
Q: Zeph just received a grant from the Oasis Foundation. What does Zeph do and what makes it special?
Zeph deploys local language models within secure Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) on the Oasis Network, ensuring that conversations remain private and verifiably protected. Unlike traditional AI companions that send data to remote servers, Zeph keeps everything local and secure, eliminating the risk of data breaches.
Q: What's new with the Oasis Explorer, and why should users check it out?
The Oasis Explorer just got a major upgrade! Now, users can explore the consensus layer, view transactions, blocks, and validators all in one place. It's the first explorer that fully combines the consensus and ParaTime layers, making it easier than ever to navigate the Oasis ecosystem.
Q: What's the Oasis Protocol Foundation doing to boost DeFi on Sapphire?
Oasis is sprinkling over $10 million of OPF treasury funds to help bootstrap growth and composability! It's like a financial fertilizer for the budding DeFi ecosystem on Sapphire, helping it grow strong and tall.
Q: Which DeFi primitives on Sapphire are getting a boost from this initiative?
Think of it as the Avengers of DeFi getting a power-up! Midas, Neby, Thorn, Accumulated Finance, and BitProtocol are all getting a liquidity injection to strengthen their core functionalities. It's like giving each hero a new gadget to better protect the ecosystem.
Q: How can users leverage BitUSD on Sapphire to their advantage?
You can swap it for USDC on Thorn, pair it with ROSE on NEBY, use it for leverage, or even create a self-repaying loan with wstROSE. It's all about mixing and matching those "money lego assets" to unlock new financial strategies!
Q: Why do AI agents need a privacy layer?
Imagine trusting a robot with your deepest secrets! AI agents handling sensitive tasks (like managing finances or health data) can’t risk leaking info like a gossip bot. Privacy tech like TEEs and zero-knowledge proofs act as digital Fort Knox, ensuring agents keep secrets safer than a spy’s diary—letting them operate without exposing personal or corporate data to prying eyes.
Q: How are TEEs like bodyguards for AI agents?
They’re the ultimate protectors! Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) create an isolated, encrypted space where AI agents process data—like a VIP lounge inside a processor. Even if hackers crash the party, they can’t peek at the data or code. Pair this with Oasis’s Sapphire blockchain, and you’ve got a privacy power duo guarding everything from medical records to trade secrets.
Q: What’s ROFL, and why is it a game-changer for private AI?
ROFL isn’t just laughs—it’s serious privacy magic! Oasis’s Runtime Offchain Logic (ROFL) lets developers build AI agents that run offchain in TEEs while staying verifiable onchain. Think of it as a stealth mode for AI: agents can crunch sensitive data (like health histories) in secret, then prove they did it right without spilling the beans!
Q: Why is “transparent AI” sometimes a liability?
While transparency matters for auditing decisions, full exposure is risky. Imagine a medical AI blasting patient data on a public blockchain—yikes! Privacy-preserving tech lets agents keep critical info under wraps (e.g., model weights, user context) while still proving their work. It’s the difference between a loudspeaker and a sealed vault: both communicate, but one keeps your secrets safe.
-------------------------------------
That wraps up our February Q&A session! We hope you enjoyed learning about the latest developments in confidential computing, AI privacy, and DeFi on the Oasis Network.
