Verdict · Freedom over returns

The technology works and is finally shipping product. ROFL mainnet, institutional pilots, liquid staking. But TVL peaked at $7.5M (May 2025) then fell back sharply. Promising direction, unproven traction.

Strengths
  • + Sapphire is among the most established production confidential EVMs in crypto
  • + Among the lowest FDV/MCap ratios in DeAI, under 1.3x; ~80% circulating with most vesting near completion
  • + Dawn Song as founder: MacArthur Fellow, UC Berkeley, most-cited scholar in computer security
Risks
  • − TVL peaked at $7.5M (May 2025) then fell back sharply; network attracts capital but does not retain it
  • − Intel SGX hardware dependency with known side-channel vulnerabilities and vendor concentration
  • − 99% from ATH; ICO investors underwater after seven years

Freedom Score
C63/100?

Oasis Network has genuine production-ready confidential computing that puts data sovereignty at its core. The architecture is well-designed with strong open-source development. However, Intel SGX dependency creates hardware vendor risk, development direction is foundation-controlled, and the lack of published core protocol audits is a gap.

Freedom Score 63/100 (C) reflects strong privacy architecture with practical limitations.

Infrastructure decentralisation13/20 Established

120 validator slots with 114 active validators. Multiple ParaTimes running in parallel. CometBFT PoS consensus. However, Intel SGX dependency creates hardware vendor centralisation. Sapphire has only 34 compute nodes. ParaTime separation provides architectural resilience but real-world decentralisation is limited by SGX requirement.

Our independent check
We measured

The active validator set is stake-weighted and concentrated: seven entities hold a third of active escrow. 264 registered entities, of which 75 are in the active set. Active escrow concentration: top 1 at 11.1%, top 5 at 30.1%, top 10 at 42.7%, top 20 at 64.6%. Seven entities reach a third of active escrow and fourteen reach half. Named entities lead the set (Colossus, BinanceStaking, Mars Staking), so the largest holders are identifiable rather than anonymous. Pulled all 264 registered validators, filtered to the active set, summed active_balance escrow and computed top-N shares plus the entity counts crossing one third and one half. First-party indexer, hence api grade. Verdict human-set.

Our call

Established The largest holders are named entities. A third of stake is the Byzantine threshold, which is why the seven-entity figure matters on a confidentiality chain.

Governance decentralisation9/20 Out of date· 2 checks

Protocol changes go through an on-chain consensus governance module where validators vote weighted by staked and delegated ROSE. It has passed five proposals since August 2021, each unanimously (69 entity votes on consensus240), and two of them (proposals 4 and 5) were submitted by validator entities rather than the Foundation, per Oasis Nexus. The rail works but has yet to settle a disagreement. Voting power is concentrated, with seven entities holding a third of active escrow, and Oasis Foundation and Oasis Labs control development direction. Scored 9 (was 8, 2026-09-25): a working on-chain module that validators outside the Foundation have used to propose upgrades is the bottom of the 9-12 'functional governance' band, and concentrated voting power with no contested vote keeps it there.

“changes to the network being voted on by node operators, with voting power based proportionally on staked and delegated tokens” source →

We found

Confirmed, and the mechanism has been used. The consensus governance module has processed five proposals since 2021, all passed; the most recent (handler consensus240) recorded 69 entity votes, all yes. Voting power is escrow-weighted across an active set of 75 validators drawn from 264 registered entities. That escrow is concentrated: the largest single entity (Colossus) holds 11.1% of active escrow, BinanceStaking 8.2%, the top five 30.1% and the top ten 42.7%; seven entities together reach a third of active escrow and fourteen reach half. Pulled the full proposal list, the vote roll for the most recent proposal, and the active validator set with active_balance escrow, then computed the concentration shares and the entity counts crossing the one-third and one-half marks. Graded api rather than onchain-reconciled deliberately: Nexus is Oasis's own indexer, so it is first-party rather than an independent rebuild. The check that would raise this to onchain-reconciled is a direct consensus-layer gRPC read against grpc.oasis.io, which needs the Oasis SDK and is not on the rpc-pool rail. Verdict human-set.

Token distribution fairness7/15 Established

43% insider allocation (Backers 23% + Core Contributors 20%) is high. However, 75% is now circulating after 5+ years — most insider vesting is near or past completion. 18.5% Community/Ecosystem allocation supplemented by $235M ecosystem fund. No public sale beyond the private round. FDV/mcap ratio of 1.33x is among the best in DeAI — minimal remaining dilution.

Our independent check
We measured

One unlabelled account holds a quarter of all ROSE, and its transaction pattern marks it as a custodial reserve whose owner is unnamed. Ten accounts hold 57.6% of the 10B supply, 54.53% after excluding the Common Pool (5.07%). One unlabelled account holds 25.52% of all ROSE (2,552,104,444 ROSE, entirely liquid, zero escrow and zero delegations), the second 6.71% and the third 5.21%, both mostly delegated. Nine of the ten carry no label anywhere Oasis publishes, so the insider share of 0% records absence of attribution rather than a measurement. The largest account has made 303 transactions since April 2021, and 81 of them face a single counterparty, oasis1qzwfdgpt3p6dd2mk6207qhf9qrxuvfn9eunurdgu, across 2,536,644,426 ROSE. That counterparty has made 270,818 transactions at nonce 173,465 while retaining only 39,236,632 ROSE, and its live feed is continuous two-way transfers with many distinct counterparties in unrounded amounts. An account that has sent over 170,000 transactions to many parties while holding almost nothing is withdrawal infrastructure, so the 25.52% holder is a reserve funding a hot wallet that serves many beneficiaries. Which custodian is not established: neither address carries a name on the Foundation's own explorer or in its Nexus indexer. Rich list from the Foundation-run indexer against its own total supply; protocol accounts from oasis-core's reserved-address list. Function is then established from transaction structure rather than from a resembling balance: counterparties are counted, and the distinguishing evidence is the dominant counterparty's own nonce and transaction count, which measure how many parties it pays. That is a measurement of many beneficiaries, not an inference from a shape, and the distinction matters because attributing a large holding on a pattern that merely looked like custody is the error the Flux row records. Naming the custodian would need a label source and none exists. Ingestion only, verdict human-set.

Our call

Established Counted in the rated figure on purpose. Excluding the custodial reserve would put the infra-excluded top ten near 29%, and that reclassification rests on behaviour rather than on a name, so it is a review decision. Unlabelled is unattributed in both directions, so the exchange is not named.

Censorship resistance11/15 Established

Confidential smart contracts via TEEs mean data is encrypted even from node operators — strong censorship resistance by design. Sapphire is the only production confidential EVM ParaTime. However, Intel SGX has known side-channel vulnerabilities. 120 validator cap limits censorship resistance versus uncapped validator sets. TEE hardware attestation creates a trust dependency.

Our independent check
We measured

Eight validators together hold more than a third of stake, enough to halt the chain. Re-read 2026-10-05 from the chain's own endpoint: 74 active validators, halt coefficient 8 (the fewest whose combined stake exceeds a third), top-10 share 40.99%. It was 6 on 2026-09-18. Consensus set read from each chain's own endpoint by scripts/refresh-validator-sets.ts: active validators, stake shares and the NAKAMOTO HALT COEFFICIENT, which is the fewest validators whose combined stake exceeds one third. That is the BFT liveness threshold on these chains and it is NOT the 51% control figure the two get confused for, which is why the output carries nakamoto_basis. Censorship needs the halt number rather than the set size: a chain with a hundred validators and a coefficient of five is five colluding parties away from stopping.

Our call

Established The halt threshold and the stake held by the largest handful bind censorship resistance here, more than the size of the set. TEE and side-channel questions are a separate layer and are not measured by this row.

Data sovereignty12/15 Verified

Confidential computing is the core value proposition. Data enters Sapphire encrypted, is processed inside SGX enclaves, and exits encrypted. End-to-end encryption, confidential state, confidential randomness. ROFL enables off-chain compute with on-chain attestation. This is one of the strongest production data sovereignty implementations in crypto. Score limited by SGX vulnerability surface and 5+ years of minimal adoption.

Same RPC method, same chain family, opposite results, so the zero return on Sapphire is the confidentiality layer.

Ingestion only, verdict human-set.

Our call

Verified Two limits bound what this proves. It shows the node RPC will not serve raw storage; encryption at rest inside the enclave and SGX side-channel resistance are hardware-trust questions no RPC read can answer. Confidentiality is contract-mediated: a contract's own public getters still return values to any caller, which is why totalSupply() answered.

Sapphire + ROFL workloads, SGX execution, ROSE staking secures the L1

Users submit workloads to Sapphire (confidential EVM) or ROFL (off-chain compute, "Trustless AWS") and pay ROSE fees. Execution happens inside Intel SGX TEEs across the ParaTime layer (Sapphire, Cipher, Emerald) with on-chain attestation. Validators stake ROSE under CometBFT PoS — 120 slots, 100 ROSE minimum — and earn rewards from the staking allocation.

What it does

Oasis Network is a Layer 1L1Layer 1. A base blockchain that runs its own consensus mechanism, executes transactions, and settles its own state. Bitcoin, Ethereum, NEAR, and Solana are all L1s. Anything built on top of an L1 is technically a Layer 2 or higher.Like the foundation of a building. Nothing else can exist on top until the foundation is solid. Different L1s make different tradeoffs for what kind of building they can support.L1 in the glossary → blockchain designed from the ground up for confidential computingConfidential ComputeHardware-enforced computation where data and code are encrypted in memory and only the authorised application can access them. The machine's operator cannot read what the application is doing even though they own the machine.Like renting space in a bank vault. The bank owns the building and runs the security, but what you put in the vault is invisible even to the bank staff. Only you have the key.Confidential Compute in the glossary →. Smart contracts on Oasis can process data that stays encrypted even from the nodes running them. Not “privacy optional” or “privacy coming soon”; confidential execution is the core architecture.

The network uses a two-layer design. The Consensus Layer runs CometBFT (formerly Tendermint) proof-of-stake with 120 validatorValidatorA computer that runs the full blockchain protocol, verifies transactions, and proposes new blocks. Validators are the workers that keep a Proof of Stake network running, and they earn rewards for doing the work correctly.Like a notary public who witnesses and stamps legal documents. Validators witness transactions, check they follow the rules, and stamp them into the permanent record. A notary who commits fraud loses their license. Validators work the same way, except the license is staked tokens that get slashed on misbehaviour.Validator in the glossary → slots. The ParaTime Layer runs multiple parallel execution environments concurrently, each with its own compute characteristics:

  • Sapphire – Oasis’s flagship confidential EVM-compatible ParaTime. Runs Solidity contracts inside Intel SGXSGXIntel Software Guard Extensions. The first widely-deployed TEE technology, introduced in 2015. SGX creates encrypted memory regions (enclaves) where code and data are protected from the operating system and the machine's owner.Like a safe deposit box at a bank. The bank owns the safe room and can see who comes in and out, but they can't see what's inside the boxes. SGX gives applications a private box on a shared computer.SGX in the glossary → trusted execution environments. Data enters encrypted, is decrypted only inside the hardware enclaveEnclaveAn isolated region of CPU or GPU memory protected by hardware. Code and data inside the enclave are inaccessible to the operating system, the hypervisor, or even the machine's physical owner.Like a secure room inside a much larger office building. The building's caretakers have keys to every other room but not this one. What happens inside is invisible to them by design.Enclave in the glossary →, processed, and re-encrypted before output. 6-second finality. 99%+ lower fees than Ethereum. Among the most established production confidential EVMs in crypto.
  • Cipher – Wasm-based confidential ParaTime (also using SGX). Supports Rust smart contracts with full confidentiality.
  • Emerald – Standard non-confidential EVM ParaTime for applications that don’t need privacy.

The separation of consensus from execution is the architectural differentiator. Each ParaTime operates independently: Sapphire can be confidential while Emerald runs standard EVM, all sharing the same consensus layer. This is more modular than most L1 designs.

ROFL (Runtime Off-chain Logic) launched on mainnet on 2 July 2025, enabling off-chain computation inside TEEs with on-chain attestationAttestationA cryptographic proof that a piece of code is running on a specific hardware enclave in an unmodified state. Attestation lets remote users verify that a service is genuinely running what it claims to be running.Like a tamper-evident seal on a medicine bottle. The seal itself doesn't make the medicine safe, but it gives you a way to verify that nobody opened the bottle and swapped the contents before you bought it.Attestation in the glossary →. Positioned as a “Trustless AWS,” ROFL supports AI inferenceInferenceRunning a trained AI model to produce an answer. Inference is what happens when you type a prompt into ChatGPT and get a response. The model takes your input, computes a best guess, and returns it.Like asking an expert for their opinion. The training was the decades they spent becoming an expert. The inference is the 30 seconds it takes them to answer your specific question.Inference in the glossary →, oracle feeds, game hosting, and autonomous agents. Early projects include Zeph (privacy-first AI companion) and WT3 (autonomous trading agent, $100K seed from the Foundation). This moves Oasis beyond smart contracts into general-purpose confidential compute.

Founded in 2018 by Dawn Song (CEO), who is the Forrest G. Hamrick Professor of Engineering at UC Berkeley, a MacArthur Fellow (2010), a Guggenheim Fellow, and the most-cited scholar in computer security per AMiner. She co-invented Flash OFDM, the technology underlying 4G mobile networks. By any measure, the most credentialled founder in all of crypto.

Other co-founders include Bobby Jaros (COO), Noah Johnson (CPO), and Raymond Cheng (CTO). The entity is Oasis Labs Inc., based in Berkeley, California, with a separate Oasis Foundation governing the network.

Value proposition

Confidential EVM in production

Sapphire is among the most established production confidential EVMs in crypto, running Solidity inside Intel SGX enclaves since 2020.

ROFL 'Trustless AWS'

Off-chain compute inside TEEs with on-chain attestation. AI inference, oracles and autonomous agents since July 2025.

Institutional pilot

SemiLiquid pilot with Franklin Templeton BENJI as collateral on Sapphire via Liquefaction, built by Cornell Tech.

What works in production

Confidential computing that actually works in production. Oasis has been running confidential smart contracts since 2020. Not as a testnet, not as a roadmap item, but as a functioning network. The Foundation’s Nexus indexer showed Sapphire at roughly 6,000 to 7,000 transactions a day through mid-September 2026. If you need EVM-compatible privacy today, Sapphire is one of the few production options. Since July 2025, ROFL extends this to off-chain compute: AI inference, oracles, and autonomous agents running inside TEEs with on-chain attestation.

The technical approach uses Intel SGX trusted execution environments. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, decrypted only inside the hardware enclave. Even the node operators can’t see what they’re processing. Sapphire adds confidential state (the contract’s storage is encrypted), full encryption from the user’s browser to the enclave, and confidential randomness.

The TVL counter-narrative

The counter-narrative used to write itself: “$288K TVLTVLTotal Value Locked. The sum of all assets currently deposited in a protocol's smart contracts. TVL is the standard measure of how much capital a DeFi or DeAI protocol is custodying.Like the assets under management of a hedge fund. AUM tells you how much money the fund has been trusted with, which is a rough proxy for how much business it's doing. TVL plays the same role for crypto protocols.TVL in the glossary → after five years.” That number has moved. Sapphire TVL peaked at $7.5M in May 2025 (per DeFiLlama), driven largely by Accumulated Finance’s liquid stakingStakingLocking up a cryptocurrency to help secure a blockchain network, usually in exchange for rewards. The locked tokens act as a security deposit that can be taken away if the staker misbehaves.Like putting down a large rental deposit for an apartment. You get the money back if you behave, you earn interest while it's locked, and the landlord takes it if you trash the place.Staking in the glossary → protocol (stROSE), which locked 12M+ ROSE. But the peak did not hold. By September 2026, combined TVL across the two EVM ParaTimes sat around $520K per DeFiLlama (Emerald ~$336K, Sapphire ~$185K), well down from that peak. The trajectory shows the network can attract capital, but not retain it. Still less TVL than a mid-tier Uniswap pool. Active addresses told a slightly better story for a while: Sapphire surpassed 15,000 daily active addresses in March 2026, up from 9,500 in September 2025, though Nexus showed daily active accounts in the low hundreds on most days of September 2026.

The ICOICOInitial Coin Offering. A token sale where a project sells tokens directly to the public, usually before any product exists. ICOs dominated 2017-2018 funding and are now mostly replaced by airdrops, IDOs, or fair launches.Like a company selling shares to the public before going public, except with no SEC oversight, no audited financials, and often no product at all. The 2017 ICO boom showed why those guardrails exist in traditional finance.ICO in the glossary → was in July 2018 at $0.02 per ROSE. The tokenTokenA digital unit of value or access rights tracked on a blockchain. Tokens can represent ownership in a project, a right to use a service, a share of future revenue, or simply a tradable asset with no underlying claim.Like a physical poker chip a casino issues. The chip itself has no value. What makes it worth something is what it lets you do at the casino, what the casino has promised, and how much other people will pay you for it.Token in the glossary → peaked in January 2022 and is now down 99% from its all-time high. ICO investors who held through are deeply underwater after seven years.

Two developments that shift the picture

First, ROFL mainnet (July 2025) moves Oasis from “privacy L1” to “confidential compute platform”. Off-chain AI inference, oracles, and autonomous agents running inside TEEs with on-chain verification. This is the right product for the AI-privacy moment, if they can attract builders.

Second, the SemiLiquid institutional pilot (reported January 2026). SemiLiquid, an Oasis portfolio company, ran a pilot with five institutional partners:

  • Franklin Templeton
  • Zodia Custody
  • M11Credit
  • Avalanche
  • Presto Labs

The setup: BENJI (Franklin Templeton’s tokenised money-market fund) used as collateral on Oasis Sapphire via the Liquefaction protocol, built by Cornell Tech. The credit workflow runs on Oasis’s confidential infrastructure, keeping counterparty data encrypted throughout. Oasis’s strategic investment arm backed SemiLiquid as its first venture.

The privacy compute market may simply not be ready yet. Or Oasis may have failed to capture it despite being first. The ROFL launch and institutional pilot suggest the team has shifted strategy from “build it and they will come” to actively pursuing AI and institutional use cases. The TVL spike-and-crash shows demand exists but retention doesn’t. Whether ROFL and institutional partnerships change this trajectory is the question for 2026.

Third, the April 2026 strategy pivot. On 29 April 2026, Oasis published “New Chapter,” reframing the project from infra-first to consumer-app-first. The first concrete output is Privana Finance, a private DeFi product (trading, yield, automation, self-custody) with the Privana SDK (key encumbrance via TEEs, based on Cornell Tech’s Liquefaction research) opening to integrators “soon.” The 8 April 2026 Ekai launch (an AI context-layer agent with encrypted credentials, running on Sapphire and ROFL mainnet) is an early third-party data point that this stack now hosts real product. None of this has produced verifiable TVL or usage data yet, so we’re holding the score; if Privana Finance attracts meaningful TVL and integrator count by the next monthly review, Revenue Sustainability is on the table for an upgrade.

For the sovereignty thesis, Oasis is architecturally one of the strongest projects reviewed. Confidential smart contracts where node operators cannot see the data they process is exactly what data sovereignty means in practice. Sapphire’s confidential EVM is a real, usable tool for privacy-preserving applications today.

They unlock over four years so you stick around and do the work rather than cashing out and leaving.Vesting in the glossary → extends to ~2030.
  • Core Contributors: 20% – team and early contributors. Vesting extends to ~2030.
  • Community & Ecosystem: 18.5% – grants, ecosystem fund ($235M assembled from additional backers including Dragonfly, Electric Capital, Jump Capital)
  • Foundation Endowment: 10% – Oasis Foundation operations
  • Strategic Partners & Reserve: 4.7%
  • Lockdrops: 0.3% – completed

$46 million was raised in a private sale (July 2018) led by Andreessen Horowitz at $0.02 per token. This was the only fundraising round: no public sale, no ICO, no follow-on raises. All subsequent grant funding was for projects, not equity or tokens.

Circulating supplyCirculating SupplyThe number of tokens currently in circulation and tradeable on the open market. Differs from total supply (which includes locked or unvested tokens) and max supply (the upper limit, if there is one).Like the number of cars on the road today versus the number ever produced. Some are in showrooms, some in junkyards, some still at the factory. Only the ones on the road count toward what people are actually driving.Circulating Supply in the glossary → is approximately 8.0 billion ROSE (~80%). The FDV-to-market-cap ratio sits under 1.3x, among the lowest in DeAIDeAIDecentralised AI. An umbrella term for blockchain-based projects that build AI infrastructure (compute, data, inference, models, agents) without a single central provider controlling the system.Like the difference between streaming a movie from Netflix and sharing it via BitTorrent. Netflix is fast and polished but one company controls what you can watch and what you pay. BitTorrent is messier but no single operator can shut you out.DeAI in the glossary →, meaning minimal remaining dilution. Most insider vesting is near or past completion. This is one of the most mature supply profiles we have reviewed.

Listed on Binance, Coinbase, KuCoin, Bybit, MEXC, and Gate.io.

Staking is available with a minimum of 100 ROSE. APY approximately 5% (declining over time). 14-day unbonding period. Slashing only for double-signing with a minimum 100 ROSE penalty, one of the most lenient slashing regimes in PoSProof of StakeA consensus mechanism where validators earn the right to create new blocks by staking tokens as collateral. If they misbehave, the network slashes their stake. Proof of Stake replaced energy-intensive mining on most modern chains.Like being a licensed auctioneer. You post a bond to get the license, you earn fees for every auction you run, and you lose the bond if you rig an auction. The bigger the bond, the more auctions you get to run.Proof of Stake in the glossary →.

How to participate

Advanced
Deploy a ROFL app

Stake ROSE. Delegate to validators. Minimum 100 ROSE. ~5% APY. 14-day unbonding. Slashing only for double-signing. Must sign 75%+ of blocks per epochEpochA fixed-length period in a Proof of Stake blockchain during which the validator set is stable and rewards are calculated. Epochs are the natural unit for staking rewards and network state changes.Like a payroll period at a job. Within the period, your role is fixed and your pay is calculated based on hours worked. At the end, the period closes, paychecks are issued, and a new period begins with potentially different conditions.Epoch in the glossary → to receive rewards. Technical skill: basic.

Liquid stake via Accumulated Finance. Stake ROSE and receive stROSE, which can be used as collateral or in DeFiDeFiDecentralised Finance. Financial services like lending, trading, and yield farming built on smart contracts instead of traditional banks or brokerages. DeFi protocols are usually permissionless and global.Like a vending machine that can give you a loan, swap your currencies, or invest your savings. Nobody is behind the counter, the rules are written into the machine itself, and anyone with money in the right format can use it.DeFi in the glossary → while earning staking yield. Runs on Sapphire with confidentiality guarantees. Technical skill: basic.

Run a validator. Compete for one of 120 validator slots. Intel SGX hardware required for confidential ParaTime compute nodes. Technical skill: advanced. Validator commission plus staking rewards.

Build on Sapphire. Deploy confidential EVM dApps. Full Solidity compatibility with added privacy features (confidential state, encrypted inputs/outputs, confidential randomness). Foundation grants available from $235M fund. Technical skill: intermediate (if you know Solidity, you can build on Sapphire).

Build a ROFL app. Deploy off-chain compute inside TEEs with on-chain verification. Suited to AI inference, oracles, trading agents, and data processing that requires privacy. Foundation seed funding available for promising projects. Technical skill: advanced.

Honest assessment

Freedom Score: 63/100

Oasis has genuine production-ready confidential computing with strong open-source development, but practical limitations exist.

Infrastructure Decentralisation: 13/20. 120 validator slots with 74 active validators. Multiple ParaTimes running in parallel. CometBFT PoS consensus. However, Intel SGX dependency creates hardware vendor centralisation. Sapphire has only 34 compute nodes. ParaTime separation provides architectural resilience but SGX requirement limits who can run compute nodes.

Governance Decentralisation: 9/20. Validators vote on protocol changes through an on-chain governance module, weighted by staked and delegated ROSE, and it has passed five proposals since August 2021. Two came from validators rather than the Foundation, per Oasis Nexus, and all five passed unanimously (69 entity votes on the latest). Voting power is concentrated, with seven entities holding a third of active escrow, and Oasis Labs and the Foundation control development direction. A module that outside validators use earns the bottom of the 9-12 band, and a rail that has yet to settle a disagreement stays there.

Token Distribution Fairness: 7/15. 43% insider allocation (Backers 23% + Core Contributors 20%) was high at launch. However, ~80% is now circulating after 5+ years, and most vesting is near completion. No public sale. FDVFDVFully Diluted Valuation. The market cap a token would have if every token that will ever exist were already in circulation. FDV is what the project would be worth if all locked, vesting, or unminted tokens were trading today.Like valuing a startup based on what every share would be worth if all the unvested employee options had already been exercised. The number is bigger and uglier than the official market cap, but it tells you the true ceiling.FDV in the glossary →/mcap ratio under 1.3x is among the lowest in DeAI.

Censorship Resistance: 11/15. Confidential smart contracts mean data is encrypted even from node operators: strong censorship resistance by design. Sapphire is among the most established production confidential EVMs. However, Intel SGX has known side-channel vulnerabilities, and 7 validators together hold more than a third of stake, enough to halt the chain.

Data Sovereignty: 12/15. Confidential computing is the core product. Full browser-to-enclave encryption, confidential state, confidential randomness. One of the strongest production data sovereignty implementations in crypto. Score limited by SGX vulnerability surface and minimal adoption after 5+ years.

Open Source Transparency: 11/15. 94 non-fork public repos, a third of them without a licence file (GitHub API, 18 September 2026). Core, SDKSDKSoftware Development Kit. A collection of code libraries, documentation, and tools that lets developers integrate a service into their applications without writing everything from scratch. SDKs are how projects become easy to build with.Like a plug-and-play kit for building furniture. You don't have to mill your own wood, forge your own screws, or design the joinery from scratch. The kit gives you pre-cut parts and instructions so you can assemble the thing in an afternoon.SDK in the glossary →, walletWalletSoftware that stores the private keys needed to control tokens on a blockchain. A wallet does not actually hold any tokens. The tokens live on the chain. The wallet holds the keys that prove you own them.Like the key to a safe deposit box. The key doesn't contain your valuables. The valuables sit in the bank's vault. The key is what proves you're allowed to open the box and take them.Wallet in the glossary →, CLI all open source, and oasis-core (Apache-2.0) is still pushed in September 2026. However, there’s no publicly verifiable core protocol audit from top-tier firms.

Returns Score: 46/100

Token Utility: 13/20. ROSE is used for gasGasThe fee paid to a blockchain to process a transaction. Gas is denominated in the chain's native token and varies with network demand. Sending a transaction without enough gas means the transaction fails and the gas is still consumed.Like the petrol that powers a car. You need to put petrol in to make the engine run. The amount of petrol you need depends on how far you're driving and how much you're carrying. If you run out, the car stops.Gas in the glossary → fees across all ParaTimes, PoS staking (minimum 100 ROSE), and governance. ROFL mainnet (July 2025) adds off-chain compute utility. ROFL apps pay gas and attestation fees in ROSE. Accumulated Finance’s liquid staking creates additional utility via stROSE. Utility is broadening but ROFL adoption is early-stage.

Value Accrual: 7/20. Transaction fees accrue to validators but remain low. Staking rewards come from the 23.5% staking allocation, not protocol revenue. No fee distribution to non-staking holders. No burnBurnPermanently removing tokens from circulation by sending them to an address that no one controls. Burns reduce total supply, which (all else equal) makes each remaining token worth more of the network's value.Like a company buying back its own shares and shredding them. The company's total value stays the same, but each remaining share now represents a slightly bigger slice of that value.Burn in the glossary → mechanism. TVL peaked at $7.5M (May 2025) but has since fallen sharply per DeFiLlama; fee generation remains negligible. SemiLiquid/Franklin Templeton pilot (BENJI as collateral via Liquefaction on Sapphire) could drive institutional transaction volume, but is pre-revenue. Marginal improvement.

Supply Dynamics: 14/20. 10B fixed max supply with ~80% circulating, one of the most mature supply profiles in DeAI. FDV/mcap ratio under 1.3x means minimal remaining dilution. Most insider vesting near completion. No burn but also no meaningful inflation beyond declining staking emissionsEmissionsNew tokens created and distributed by a blockchain protocol over time as rewards to validators, stakers, or miners. Emissions fund network security and participation at the cost of diluting existing holders.Like a company that pays employees partly in newly printed shares. Every year the total number of shares goes up, which means existing shareholders own a slightly smaller slice of the same company unless the company grows faster than the printing.Emissions in the glossary →. Strong supply dynamics in a project with limited adoption.

Revenue Sustainability: 5/25. Still near-zero protocol revenue after 5+ years of mainnet operation. TVL peaked at $7.5M (May 2025) via Accumulated Finance liquid staking but has since fallen sharply per DeFiLlama. The SemiLiquid pilot with Franklin Templeton and Zodia Custody demonstrates institutional interest in confidential infrastructure for RWA collateral, a plausible revenue pathway. ROFL positions Oasis for the AI-privacy compute market. Score raised from 3 to reflect genuine strategic progress, but revenue remains aspirational.

LiquidityLiquidityHow easily a token can be bought or sold without moving the price. High liquidity means you can enter or exit large positions quickly at the quoted price. Low liquidity means even small trades can swing the market.Like the difference between selling a house and selling a share of Apple stock. The house might be worth more on paper, but finding a buyer at that price takes weeks. The Apple share converts to cash in one click.Liquidity in the glossary → & Access: 7/15. Listed on Binance, Coinbase, KuCoin, Bybit, MEXC, Gate.io. Good exchange coverage for tier-1 and tier-2 CEXs. Volume has declined from prior levels relative to these listings.

Quadrant: B (High Freedom, Low Returns)

Oasis sits in Quadrant B: a sovereignty play with unproven economics. The confidential computing architecture is one of the strongest in crypto, but the market hasn’t rewarded it.

Key risks

  • TVL spike-and-crash. Sapphire TVL peaked at $7.5M (May 2025) then fell back sharply per DeFiLlama. The network can attract capital but hasn’t demonstrated retention. Still negligible for a funded L1.
  • 99% from ATHATHAll-Time High. The highest price a token has ever reached. ATH is usually quoted as a reference point for how far the current price has fallen (or risen) since the peak.Like the record lap time on a racetrack. It tells you what the car has been capable of at its absolute best, not what it will do today. Whether that record gets broken again depends on conditions that may or may not come back.ATH in the glossary →. Negative ICO ROI after 7+ years. Investor patience is exhausted.
  • Intel SGX dependency. Known side-channel vulnerabilities. Hardware vendor centralisation. SGX deprecation risk. ROFL adds Intel TDX support but same vendor.
  • ROFL adoption is unproven. Mainnet launched July 2025 but only two early projects (Zeph, WT3). The “Trustless AWS” positioning needs builders to materialise.
  • Institutional pilot ≠ institutional adoption. The SemiLiquid/Franklin Templeton pilot is promising but pilots often don’t convert to production deployments. No revenue yet.
  • Possible team downsizing. Third-party estimates suggest the team may have shrunk significantly. Unverified but concerning.
  • No published core protocol audits. Private bug bounty exists but is not a substitute for published audit reports from recognised firms.
  • Privacy L1 competition. Nillion (MPCMPCMulti-Party Computation. A cryptographic technique where multiple parties jointly compute a function over their inputs without any party revealing its input to the others. Useful for shared computation on private data.Like a group of friends calculating the average of their salaries without anyone revealing their actual salary to the others. Each person contributes a piece of the answer, and the pieces combine into the result, but nobody learns anything except the average itself.MPC in the glossary →/HE), Secret Network (SGX like Oasis), Phala (TEETEETrusted Execution Environment. A hardware-secured region of a CPU or GPU where code runs in isolation, so even the machine's operator can't read what's happening inside. TEEs give decentralised AI inference privacy guarantees.Like a bank vault inside a bank. The bank owns the building, staffs the lobby, and runs the security cameras. But what's inside the vault is invisible to everyone, including the bank staff, unless the customer opens it.TEE in the glossary → compute) all compete for the same market.

Governance

On-chain consensus governance module: validators vote weighted by staked and delegated ROSE. Five proposals since August 2021, all passed; proposals 4 and 5 were submitted by validator entities (SerGo, Princess Stake), per Oasis Nexus, read 2026-09-25. Oasis Labs and the Foundation control development direction.

Sentiment

Established project with strong academic credibility but declining market enthusiasm. Token down 98% from ATH after 5+ years. Community is technically engaged but small relative to project pedigree. Privacy narrative aligns with growing AI privacy concerns but adoption has not followed.
