Oasis Shines As A First Among Equals In The Blockchain Pantheon

Oasis Shines As A First Among Equals In The Blockchain Pantheon

The blockchain story has seen its share of firsts. We all know them. Bitcoin was the first official blockchain that started the journey solidifying the concept of cryptocurrency as a viable digital alternative to fiat currency and traditional finance. Ethereum was the first to craft smart contracts and develop the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) laying down the way of decentralized applications (dApps) and the decentralized web (web3). Cosmos was the first internet of blockchains experimenting with interoperability with sovereign chains. Polkadot was the first truly popular modular blockchain architecture where the composable ecosystem shared security and eased interoperability. Among this pantheon, Oasis has neatly carved its place as a first among its peers in many ways. 🌐Architecture: Modular before modular was cool For a long time, EVM compatibility was the popular choice to go for a blockchain protocol and the concept of modularity still felt quite early. But Oasis made the choice to adopt the modular architecture, moving away from the more commonly prevalent monolithic design. So, here we have a separate consensus layer and a distinct scalable execution layer composed of parallel runtimes or paratimes. The beauty of the design is instantly apparent. The paratimes promise near endless possibilities — can be EVM (Emerald, Sapphire) or WASM Cipher), permissioned or permissionless, privacy-focused or general purpose, Oasis’s own (Sapphire, Emerald, Cipher) or built and managed with enterprise focus (Gaia-X-powered Pontus-X by DeltaDAO). 🔒Technology: Privacy-first with RONL & ROFL TEEs Already flourishing as an L1 blockchain protocol with its EVM-based Emerald paratime, Oasis became the first to realize its privacy-first vision by introducing the Sapphire paratime — first and only production-ready confidential EVM that makes customizable privacy possible through its smart contracts designed to provide end-to-end encryption with flexibility of the confidential spectrum — 100% public to 100% private and anywhere in between). Believing in trustless execution environments (TEEs) as the go-to privacy-preserving technique, Sapphire uses Intel SGX. Privacy for web3 can only take you so far when decentralized AI (DeAI) joins the mix. On-chain computation suddenly becomes too heavy to handle with humongous datasets needing to be processed in continuity. The framework Oasis developed to handle all this was the first of its kind — runtime off-chain logic (ROFL) to complement Sapphire’s runtime on-chain logic (RONL). As a result, we transcend theory and get a practical glimpse into the future where DeAI and DeCC (decentralized confidential computing) work hand in hand. The TEEs here use both Intel SGX and TDX as embodied by the ROFL app, recently launched on mainnet. 🧠AI involvement: Before buzzword became trendy Oasis was also the first to recognize privacy for web3 with responsible data economy and uncompromising data sovereignty is a good start but probably would not be enough. AI would play a crucial role in shaping and transforming blockchain technology and applicability. As a result, it laid the foundation for the responsible AI framework, long before AI became a buzzword in crypto utility as well as among general users with zero crypto experience. However, Oasis, being a lot of firsts does not mean it is the only protocol in business. How Oasis works in close collaboration with other stalwarts underlines its leadership quality as well as its acknowledgement that solving the blockchain privacy paradox is not a single protocol’s achievement but has a lot of moving parts where many have contributed part of the solution making it all work. 🤝Events: TEEs take the party to world stage TEEs have long been pushed to the background of privacy technique discussions but it has strongly emerged as a leading solution for cryptographic security. Oasis has organized, co-hosting with other protocols, Afternoon TEE parties side by side with global blockchain events and conferences.

Its standing as a founding member of the Universal Privacy Alliance (UPA) is testament to the fact that the unifying principles bonding the various members is true at all times — privacy as a fundamental, privacy tools as normal, and privacy by design as essential. As DeAI joins the ever-evolving blockchain technology’s purview, this also can benefit from a band working together with a common cause. As a result, we have Oasis, working in close conjunction of other pioneers in the field, helping to form HumanAIx — an open protocol alliance. So, we see what Oasis offers and how much more it has to offer in its position as a first mover and thought leader. As we look to the future of our blockchain interactions and experiences, Oasis shines as a reassuring presence — with the promise that its mission of smart privacy for web3 and AI will translate from vision to reality, with rules and application.

Sapphire 101: A Technical Workshop For Blockchain Devs Part 3

Sapphire 101: A Technical Workshop For Blockchain Devs Part 3

Continuing with Sapphire tutorial, we learnt in part 1 about Oasis architecture and confidential transaction, and in part 2 about signed view calls, frontend, and precompiles. #5: What to do next? This section will touch upon encryption & decryption, signing & verification, autonomous contracts, Oasis Privacy Layer (OPL), running nodes, etc. Encryption & Decryption We know now that end-to-end encryption is possible between user and smart contract where storage is on the public ledger in encrypted form. But, it is also possible to use X25519 key pairs inside a smart contract and derive shared secret on-chain. ECDH states that two people with their own key pairs, when they have each others public keys they can both derive the point, and nobody else can, unless one of the secrets gets leaked. Use cases Encrypted emitted events, stateless view calls Encrypted coupons, proxies, authentication, compliance Encryption (TypeScript) import * as sapphire from '@oasisprotocol/sapphire-paratime'const e2ePubKey = await e2e.getPublicKey();const box = sapphire.cipher.X25519DeoxysII.ephemeral(e2ePubKey);let {nonce, cipherText} = await box.encrypt(plaintextBytes);const nonceBytes32Hex = ethers.utils.hexlify(nonce) +"0000000000000000000000000000000000"; Decryption (Solidity) import "@oasisprotocol/sapphire-contracts/contracts/Sapphire.sol";contract E2EProxy {Sapphire.Curve25519PublicKey internal immutable publicKey;Sapphire.Curve25519SecretKey internal immutable privateKey;constructor (bytes memory extraEntropy) {(publicKey, privateKey) = Sapphire.generateCurve25519KeyPair(extraEntropy);}function getPublicKey() external view returns (bytes32) {return Sapphire.Curve25519PublicKey.unwrap(publicKey);}} import "@oasisprotocol/sapphire-contracts/contracts/Sapphire.sol";contract E2EProxy {function decrypt(bytes32 peerPublicKey, bytes32 nonce, bytes memory data)external{bytes32 sk = Sapphire.deriveSymmetricKey(Sapphire.Curve25519PublicKey.wrap(peerPublicKey),privateKey);bytes memory plaintext = Sapphire.decrypt(sk, nonce, data, "");}} Signing & Verification Contracts can generate key-pairs (Ed25519, X25519, Bitcoin & NIST) Signing with EcDSA and EdDSA There are various utilities for this. You can generate Ethereum addresses and sign transactions on-chain. You can verify WebAuthN / TouchID, using Ed25519 & EdDSA You can broadcast cross-chain without bridge dependency Signing (Solidity) import "@oasisprotocol/sapphire-contracts/contracts/Sapphire.sol";contract SigningExample {function sign(bytes32 hashed_message)external returns (bytes){Sapphire.SigningAlg alg =Sapphire.SigningAlg.Secp256k1PrehashedKeccak256;bytes memory pk;bytes memory sk;bytes memory digest = abi.encodePacked(hashed_message);Bytes memory entropy = Sapphire.randomBytes(32, "");(pk, sk) = Sapphire.generateSigningKeyPair(alg, entropy);return Sapphire.sign(alg, sk, digest, "");}} Verification (Solidity) import "@oasisprotocol/sapphire-contracts/contracts/Sapphire.sol";contract VerifyExample {function verify(bytes32 hashed_message, bytes memory signature)external returns (bool){Sapphire.SigningAlg alg =Sapphire.SigningAlg.Secp256k1PrehashedKeccak256;bytes memory digest = abi.encodePacked(hashed_message);return Sapphire.verify(alg, pk, digest, "", signature);}} On-chain Single Sign-On Viewing Keys — submitting an access token to view your data. Permits — providing access to specific functions (read/write). Daily Login with EIP-712: a. it is similar to permits but is application-specific b. it lets you sign a transaction once on a daily or weekly basis Explore this more with Oasis docs on Sapphire. Autonomous Contracts Using the key generation precompiles, Sapphire can generate Ethereum compatible accounts to pay their own gas — either on Sapphire or on other EVM compatible chains. Ethereum compatible key-generation & signing is included in the@oasisprotocol/sapphire-contracts package: EthereumUtils.sol — a, s = EthereumUtils.generateKeypair() EIP155Signer.sol — struct EIP155Signer.EthTx- EIP155Signer.sign(address,secret,tx) Ethereum Keypair Generation and Signing (Solidity) import '@oasisprotocol/sapphire-contracts/contracts/EthereumUtils.sol';contract KeypairExample {address pubkey;bytes32 secret;constructor () {(pubkey, secret) = EthereumUtils.generateKeypair();}function sign(bytes memory data)external view returns (SignatureRSV memory rsv){bytes32 digest = keccak256(data);rsv = EthereumUtils.sign(pubkey, secret, digest);}} Transaction Signing (Solidity) function signTx(uint64 nonce, uint256 gasPrice, uint256 value)external view returns (bytes memory txdata){return EIP155Signer.sign(pubkey, secret, EIP155Signer.EthTx({nonce: nonce,gasPrice: gasPrice,gasLimit: 250000,to: msg.sender,value: value,data: "",chainId: block.chainid}));} Explore this more with Oasis docs on Sapphire Oasis Privacy Layer (OPL) This workflow demonstrates connecting Sapphire with Ethereum, BNB chain and other EVM networks to be able to add encrypted transactions and confidential state without moving the whole build away from the home network. Explore this more with Oasis docs on OPL Running a node As a decentralized network, Oasis encourages developers to help with decentralization by becoming a validator and/or running a ParaTime compute node (it can be Sapphire as well as Cipher or Emerald). Alternatively, devs can simply run consensus and/or ParaTime client node along with the web3 gateway to avoid public endpoints or possible malicious interactions.

Base Overtakes Solana in NFT Volume as Zora Drives Minting Frenzy

Base Overtakes Solana in NFT Volume as Zora Drives Minting Frenzy

The post Base Overtakes Solana in NFT Volume as Zora Drives Minting Frenzy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. With millions of mints and $122 million in trading volume, Base has quietly emerged as a go-to platform for Web3 creators. Coinbase’s Layer-2 network, Base, has become one of the most active blockchain ecosystems by NFT trading volume, surpassing Solana and Abstract. DappRadar’s blockchain analyst Sara Gherghelas said in a recent research report that Base has become a popular place for creators, thanks to cheap mints, creator-friendly tools, and “speculation around a potential airdrop.” Top Blockchains by NFT Volume “Base NFTs hit $122M in trading volume and 6.7M sales in 2025, with June marking a breakout moment (+336% MoM volume),” Gherghelas noted. The surge has been fueled by top collections such as DX Terminal, Onchain Gaias, Oracle Patron, Based Punks, and Get Based, blending retro-futuristic art, interactive gameplay, and, in the case of Onchain Gaias, the ability for holders to train AI-enabled agents across Web3 ecosystems. Behind the Numbers The main driver behind Base’s NFT boom is Zora, an open-source NFT protocol that lets creators launch low-cost NFTs and drops on Base for less than one U.S. dollar, while also offering an ERC-20 layer for creator tokens. “Since July alone, Zora on Base has recorded 1.6 million tokens minted, generating $470 million in trading volume and $3.4 million in creator royalties,” Gherghelas wrote. Data from DefiLlama shows that starting in July, Zora’s revenue jumped to $4.7 million, marking a more than 312,000% increase compared to Q4 2024. On the marketplace front, OpenSea has emerged as the leader on Base, with Gherghelas attributing this to the fact that the marketplace was an early Base supporter. NFT Volume by Marketplace Amid the recent uptick in NFT activity, OpenSea has overtaken Blur over the past 90 days, with trading volume of $389 million, compared to Blur’s $312 million, according to Token Terminal.

Why BlockDAG Could Replace Cardano & Dogecoin in the Top 10

Why BlockDAG Could Replace Cardano & Dogecoin in the Top 10

The post Why BlockDAG Could Replace Cardano & Dogecoin in the Top 10 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlockDAG’s presale performance in 2025 has quickly turned it into one of the most talked-about projects in the industry. With $386M already raised, 25.8B coins sold, and a user base surpassing 3M X1 mobile miners, BlockDAG has established itself as the Best Crypto Presale to buy right now. Projections suggest the price could climb from its current $0.03 in Batch 30 to $1 in the long term, marking a potential 3,233% ROI for new investors. This growth trajectory has fueled speculation that BlockDAG could displace legacy players like Cardano and Dogecoin from the crypto top 10. With adoption metrics, whale confidence, and a global visibility push tied to Token 2049 Singapore, BDAG is no longer just a presale — it’s a contender for dominance. Cardano Price Muted Below $1 Cardano (ADA) has struggled to regain momentum throughout 2025. After a major sell-off in February, its price has remained stuck under the $1 mark despite brief rallies in March and August. This ongoing weakness has amplified bearish sentiment, raising questions about Cardano’s ability to maintain its place in the top 10. Some analysts highlight potential catalysts that could revive ADA — such as growth in dApps on its network, an expansion into cross-border payments, and the possibility of a future Cardano ETF. Yet the slow pace of adoption and lack of market conviction means that by the time these positive developments materialize, ADA may already have slipped down the rankings. BlockDAG, by contrast, is capturing momentum at scale during its presale. Its rapid fundraising and millions of active users present the type of adoption curve Cardano once promised but has struggled to deliver in recent years. Dogecoin Faces Meme Coin Fatigue Dogecoin remains the largest meme coin by market cap, but its dominance is being tested. With TRUMP coin, BONK, and…

Hyperliquid Roars Back, XRP Stalls, BlockDAG Explodes with 3M Users and $386M Raised.

Hyperliquid Roars Back, XRP Stalls, BlockDAG Explodes with 3M Users and $386M Raised.

The post Hyperliquid Roars Back, XRP Stalls, BlockDAG Explodes with 3M Users and $386M Raised. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto markets are striking a balance between adoption-driven reality and recovery expectations. While XRP is still a strong challenger, its trajectory is influenced by market and regulatory reasons, Hyperliquid (HYPE) is moving closer to recovering strength around $50. Although both still get attention, adoption and obvious traction frequently reveal more. BlockDAG has become the most obvious evidence of adoption. With more than 3 million users of its X1 Miner App and $386 million raised via a presale, the project shows quantifiable growth that other rivals have not yet attained. BlockDAG’s momentum makes it the most attractive investment option available now, even in contrast to HYPE’s recovery and XRP’s projections. HYPE Set for Explosive Rebound Following a strong recovery from support at $42–43, Hyperliquid (HYPE) is now trading at about $47.45. Its more than $340 million 24-hour trading volume is indicative of consistent investor engagement and liquidity. According to technical analysis, HYPE may retest its all-time high of $49.88 if current support is maintained. Short-term objectives are predicted to be between $50 and $55, if resistance breaks. With Hyperliquid’s expanding position in decentralized trading and liquidity provision, futures activity demonstrates consistent trader trust. While resiliency during recent market pullbacks demonstrates its potential as one of the market’s better recovery options, expanding developer involvement and ecosystem connections provide even more strength. Sentiment has been strengthened by institutional attention, with prominent individuals such as Arthur Hayes emphasizing Hyperliquid’s possible benefits. To prevent a regression toward the mid-$30s, momentum still depends on price stability above the $42 mark. XRP Outlook: Can the Token Rebound? With the help of institutional partnerships and consistent acceptance in remittance corridors, XRP is still consolidating around the $3.00 level. The market is now in a good mood, and experts are pointing to resistance levels between $3.40 and $3.50 as…

BlockDAG Presale Nears $600M, shrinking window for early profits

BlockDAG Presale Nears $600M, shrinking window for early profits

The post BlockDAG Presale Nears $600M, shrinking window for early profits appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Discover why BlockDAG is gaining recognition as a top performing crypto, with presale growth approaching $600M and shrinking chances at $0.03, fueling urgency. BlockDAG is rapidly becoming one of the top performing crypto presales of 2025, racing toward its $600M funding target while traders scramble to secure coins at just $0.03. So far, BlockDAG (BDAG) has raised $386 million in presale, a figure that continues to climb at a relentless speed. Every new stage pushes the entry price higher, and with analysts already projecting $1 BDAG, hesitation could prove costly. BlockDAG isn’t just another presale project. Its unique ability to combine powerful technology, a competitive buying model, and viral community growth keeps the pressure on day after day. The supply at this price is shrinking fast, and buyers know the next move will cost more. Whale & Retail Activity Drives Presale Momentum One reason BlockDAG is quickly becoming a top performing crypto is its unique blend of whale activity and retail adoption. Large buyers are confident, and their purchases set the tone for the rest of the market. When whales move in, retail follows fast, creating a cycle of relentless demand that fuels the presale. This massive whale and retail buying activity surged the price from $0.001 to $0.03, resulting in a 2,900% ROI for early-stage holders. Unlike projects that rely heavily on a single class of buyers, BlockDAG has managed to capture both at once; big buys drive headlines while smaller contributions maintain daily activity. This balanced participation is why each presale batch is selling out quickly and why traders fear being left behind. With both whales and retail buyers driving nonstop momentum, BlockDAG has raised $386 M, turning its presale into a race against time. Every minute that passes increases the chance of a higher buy-in,…
