2) @OasisProtocol will be imminently releasing the Oasis Privacy Layer (OPL) to all major #EVM chains, allowing any #dApp to integrate customisable, compliant confidentiality to any existing dApp
With OPL and their #privacy paratime Sapphire, a new era is coming to #Web3
Undercollateralized or variable rate lending in #DeFi
Borrower reputation can be established via private data such as credit history
Those with a good reputation can get loans using less collateral &/or lower interest rates
4) MEV-resistant DEXs
Important aspects of orders, such as slippage parameters can be kept private from even the nodes themselves, preventing them from manipulating orders & frontrunning
This allows users to keep more of the value of their trades
Also called anonymous credentials. This could allow people to satisfy KYC/AML laws without revealing their entire identity to everyone
This can also allow #dApps to screen users based on e.g age or country. Ensuring compliance
6) Confidential NFTs
The owner of an #NFT gains access to private data such as an image. This could be used to enhance the value of owning an NFT since not every aspect of the token is available publicly
This could be especially useful for a #DAO, or even government voting
It allows for votes to be held in which voters are not influenced by the votes that were submitted before them, whilst also protecting the voter's #privacy
#GameFi will be an integral part of #web3 adoption, but several tasks have to be completed off-chain due to needing to keep aspects of state away from other players
Puzzles, strategy, card games & many more would benefit from @OasisProtocol
11) Games that rely on random number generation
Through the use of Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), @OasisProtocol can generate random numbers without an oracle
An example would be casinos that require undisputable fairness, RPGs for loot etc
A privacy-preserving user verification system can be implemented that proves a user is human based on uploaded ID documents or attestations from trusted institutions/companies
This could be useful on any #dApp that wants to exclude bots
A decentralized insurance platform can be built using TEEs to maintain the #privacy of policyholders personal information & history, while still allowing insurers to assess risk & premiums
Biometric data from wearing a smartwatch, demographic data, genomic data, blood work data could be uploaded and protected so that only owners of the data can control who accesses it
18) This list of use cases for @OasisProtocol will hopefully highlight the benefit of confidentiality and customisable #privacy that Oasis Privacy Layer will bring to #Web3
This is the chain that reduces the barriers to large scale #blockchain adoption
22) If you're looking to build a platform utilizing this unique #privacy from @OasisProtocol, they have a mostly unspent $235M ecosystem fund from some of the biggest VCs in the space
There is also a #hackathon due to be starting soon
2) In order to understand OPL, we first need to start with the Oasis Sapphire paratime.
Sapphire is the first and only confidential #EVM network for #web3.
What does it mean to be a confidential EVM though?
3) Essentially what this means is that Sapphire has the ability to create confidential smart contracts. Smart contracts with the ability to hide aspects of state.
Hiding aspects of state vastly expands what can be done with smart contracts enabling more sophisticated use cases
