Oasis Network has been developing for the AI era, and now slowly their focus on user privacy is coming to fruition. Oasis Sapphire has seen some adoption this year, while Emerald’s performance can be described as ‘steady’. Learn more about the innovations in the Oasis ecosystem with our latest Chain Update.
Oasis Network, do not confuse it with Oasys, is a privacy-oriented blockchain ecosystem. The Oasis Network is a layer-1 blockchain focused on privacy, scalability, and versatility. It uses a proof-of-stake consensus and separates consensus from computation via ParaTimes. ParaTimes are parallel runtimes for specific applications.
For example, Oasis Emerald is more suitable for DeFi, while Oasis Sapphire has a much bigger focus on privacy. These chains both use the $ROSE token, and they can also interact with each other through so-called inter-ParaTime communication. This then enables seamless data and asset transfers.
In recent weeks, we’re seeing an interesting development on Oasis Sapphire. While the number of transactions keeps dropping, volume has been going up. Instead of $10,000 per day, the daily transaction volumes flowing into dapps is now close to $100,000. That’s roughly 10x in a period of 3 months.
Let’s take a deep dive into the Oasis ecosystem, and see which developments are pushing the network towards broader adoption.
Oasis Network updates
This calendar year, the Oasis team has done quite a few updates. The most important development update happened in February, when the Oasis Network unveiled its roadmap for 2025. Let’s take a look at that roadmap, and see what other news has been dropped in the past 6 months.
Introducing ROFL
One of the biggest upgrades to the network has been the introduction of Runtime Offchain Logic. This framework, also known as ROFL, allows dapps to run in a verifiable, decentralized and private way. This basically becomes a backbone for decentralized AI, among other concepts. Read more here. In addition, Oasis Network also partnered with IO.net to create a marketplace for decentralized computational power. This connects directly with ROFL.
RWA and tokenization
Oasis Network announced a partnership with PinLink, which now allows users to tokenize their Oasis nodes. The first tokenized node went live in March 2025, which now allows for fractionalized ownership over a node. Generally, nodes can expect an APR of around 20%, paid in $ROSE, of course.
Coming to Oasis in 2025
- DeFi x AI – Oasis expects advancement in DeFAI, driven by their technological edge with TEE and ROFL.
- Attract more dapps – The introduction of development tools to make deployment of dapps much easier.
- Connecting – The team is building a native ROSE bridge to connect with Ethereum.
Why Oasis puts focus on privacy
Blockchain transparency can expose users. Every transaction creates a public record. Therefore anyone can track your wallet’s moves, but also copy your trading strategies. This gets even worse in the AI era, where AI agents reveal their logic with each onchain action. Furthermore, MEV bots front-run trades, scammers target big holders, and frankly the voting patterns in DAOs are too predictable. Privacy isn’t about hiding, but about staying secure and competitive.
Oasis builds smart privacy solutions. Their technology protects AI logic and sensitive data. Developers can then choose how much privacy their app needs. This keeps blockchain trust intact without exposing everything. Oasis also supports selective disclosure for compliance, balancing security and regulation. With tools like confidential smart contracts, Oasis makes privacy practical and ready for modern dapps.
Oasis Network and dapp data
Oasis Emerald has a slow month of May, with the daily transaction count stable between 3,000 and 4,000 transactions. However, growth on Oasis Sapphire has been much clearer. Transactions peaked well above 100,000, while putting the daily average around 30,000.
One of the fastest growing dapps on Oasis Sapphire is Ocean Predictoor. This AI-powered trading bot helps users to trade crypto by making market predictions. In the past month, the incoming volume went up 307% to $2.75 million. This underlines the confidence of the community in the capabilities of this prediction bot.
On Oasis Emerald activity has been much slower, while YuzuSwap remains the top DeFi platform with roughly $309,000 in available liquidity. It should therefore not be a surprise to learn that Oasis is pushing for broader DeFi adoption by connecting directly with Ethereum and focusing on the merger between DeFi and AI, a.k.a. DeFAI.
Closing words
Oasis Network is carving a bold path in the blockchain realm, blending privacy with DeFi and AI innovation. With ROFL, tokenized nodes, and a bridge to Ethereum on the horizon, the ecosystem is primed for growth. As Oasis pioneers DeFAI and smart privacy, it’s ready to reshape how we interact with decentralized tech.
