Deep Dive
1. ROFL AI Expansion (2025–2026)
Overview: Oasis aims to enhance its Runtime Offchain Logic (ROFL), a framework for verifiable AI computations, by integrating GPU TEEs for complex AI/ML workloads. Plans include creating a “ROFL Functions” app for simplified development and a marketplace for deploying AI agents (Oasis 2025 Roadmap).
What this means: This could position Oasis as a “trustless AWS” for AI, attracting developers needing privacy-preserving compute. However, adoption depends on balancing decentralization with performance.
Overview: Oasis will roll out TDX container support and multi-language SDKs (TypeScript, Rust, Go) to lower entry barriers for ROFL app development. A single-line code integration for Sapphire smart contracts is also planned.
What this means: Easier tooling may accelerate ecosystem growth, but competition from platforms like Akash or Render could dilute impact.
3. UX Overhaul (2026)
Overview: A redesigned Oasis Wallet (web/mobile) and native ROSE bridges to Ethereum aim to simplify cross-chain liquidity. The new UI emphasizes intuitive staking and asset management (Coin Edition).
What this means: Improved UX could boost retail participation, though success hinges on seamless interoperability with Ethereum’s ecosystem.
4. Institutional RWA Pilots (2026)
Overview: Building on its Franklin Templeton/Zodia Custody pilot for tokenized funds, Oasis plans to expand SemiLiquid’s confidential credit infrastructure for institutional RWAs (Oasis 2025 Roadmap).
What this means: Institutional adoption of Oasis’ privacy stack may drive demand for ROSE, but regulatory scrutiny remains a risk.
Conclusion
Oasis is pivoting from a privacy-centric blockchain to an AI/privacy infrastructure layer, targeting both developers and institutions. Key milestones like ROFL’s GPU integration and RWA partnerships could catalyze utility-driven demand for ROSE. Will Oasis’ “confidential compute” narrative resonate as AI regulation tightens globally?
