The Oasis Network is a privacy-focused blockchain platform designed for high-performance and secure decentralized applications. Its unique architecture is built on two layers: the consensus layer, which manages proof-of-stake validation to ensure network security and scalability, and the ParaTime layer, which supports multiple parallel runtimes for data processing. This separation enables the network to handle complex and diverse workloads efficiently, maintaining low transaction fees and high throughput, making it ideal for applications needing privacy and scalability.
Key features include theOasis SapphireandOasis EmeraldParaTimes. Sapphire provides a confidential EVM-compatible environment, allowing developers to build privacy-preserving applications while maintaining compatibility with Ethereum tools. Emerald, on the other hand, offers straightforward EVM compatibility without confidentiality, allowing for versatile asset management and enhancing the network's interoperability. Additionally, the Oasis Privacy Layer (OPL) enables any EVM-based app to integrate privacy features seamlessly, broadening privacy solutions across chains.
Oasis has attracted significant partnerships with organizations like BMW for secure data applications and Chainlink for reliable off-chain data integration. It also recently partnered with Celer Network to improve cross-chain functionality and scalability. The Oasis ecosystem continues to expand with support from a $200 million fund, fostering DeFi, privacy-centric apps, and other innovative blockchain use case.
