Oasis Protocol Foundation Launches ROFL Mainnet: Paving the Way for a Secure AI Future on Blockchain
Oasis Protocol Foundation, the organization behind the privacy-focused Layer 1 blockchain network and AI applications, has officially launched the mainnet of ROFL (Runtime Offchain Logic), a groundbreaking computing framework that handles complex off-chain tasks while ensuring verification, security, and integration with the blockchain. Dubbed “trustless AWS,” ROFL promises to become the key infrastructure for the next wave of decentralized AI applications.
Solving the Web3 dilemma: Powerful yet secure computation
Blockchain offers transparency and decentralization, but is limited in its ability to handle intensive tasks such as AI inference, big data analytics, and complex transactions. ROFL was born as an intermediate solution: allowing off-chain computations to be performed in a secure environment (Trusted Execution Environments TEE), then the results are cryptographically verified and returned to the blockchain for integration with smart contracts.
This model maintains trust and decentralization, while opening up high processing power for complex applications, especially in areas such as AI, decentralized finance (DeFi), health data, and user security.
From theory to practice: The first AI applications on ROFL
From its launch, ROFL has proven its feasibility with two pioneering projects:
Zeph, a privacy-first AI assistant, uses ROFL to ensure that user data is processed in a secure TEE, without being disclosed or misused. Amid growing concerns about privacy-invasive AI applications, Zeph demonstrates the potential of secure AI in healthcare, psychological counseling, personal care, and more.
WT3, an autonomous AI specializing in decentralized transactions, uses ROFL to manage private keys and execute transactions without revealing information, aiming for a trustless “smart asset management” model. WT3 has received $100,000 in seed funding from the Oasis Foundation, demonstrating its belief in the decentralized and private AI transaction model.
TEE + Blockchain: A Power Couple That Opens a New Era
At the core of ROFL lies the integration with Oasis TEE Cloud, an infrastructure platform that provides TEE-as-a-Service, allowing developers to deploy secure computation without setting up their own hardware. This architecture provides an AWS-like experience, but instead of relying on centralized trust, it operates on cryptographic trust and automated verification, which is essential in the Web3 world.
Combining a hardware security layer (TEE) with cryptographic verification from the blockchain has created a powerful ecosystem that addresses the core problems in real-world blockchain applications: scalability, user data security, and trust when integrating AI.
ROFL is more than just a framework, it is the foundation for a new ecosystem
ROFL not only supports personal AI applications, but is also designed for widespread deployment in areas such as gaming, AI oracles, chatbots, decentralized personal computing (MCP) servers, and market analytics. With the ability to “interact” smoothly between the off-chain environment and smart contracts, ROFL can become the default computing platform for complex dApps in the future.
Developers can start integrating ROFL into their products with the documentation and development tools available at oasis.net/rofl-deck.
Oasis Protocol: Positioned at the intersection of AI, privacy, and Web3
The Oasis Protocol Foundation is the governing body of the Oasis Network, a Layer 1 blockchain that stands out for its high scalability, built-in privacy, and developer friendliness. With the launch of the first Sapphire EVM supporting secure smart contracts, Oasis has attracted many DeFi projects and dApps interested in protecting user data.
Now, with the ROFL Mainnet, Oasis is expanding its ecosystem to serve a new wave of decentralized AI that is verifiable, private, and trustless. As Web3 and AI increasingly converge, Oasis occupies a rare strategic position on the global blockchain map.
Conclusion
ROFL is not just a technical step forward, it is a leap forward in thinking, allowing blockchain to step beyond the confines of pure smart contracts to reach powerful, private, and verifiable AI applications. In a world where data is increasingly valuable and trust is increasingly fragile, ROFL represents the future: an ecosystem where AI operates securely, transparently, and for the benefit of users, all built on a decentralized platform.
