Oasis Network

Overview of Oasis Network

OASIS Network is a grass-roots charitable 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to provide basic school necessities for at-risk students in Hillsborough County schools.  Over 60% of the 206,000 students in our public schools qualify for free lunch (live in poverty).

The Oasis Network is an online platform connects like-minded individuals and organizations with the intent to share experiences, knowledge, resources and best practices about Oasis and other NORC-programs

The Oasis Network is a high performant blockchain which aims to keep user data confidential and protected, while providing users with greater control and ownership of their data.

Oasis Network is described as a next generation blockchain that claims to be the first privacy-enabled blockchain platform for open finance and a responsible data economy.

Oasis Network is permissionless, blockchain-based cloud computing platform that aims to improve upon the scalability and privacy of its peers through novel architecture.

Oasis Network has been designed to broaden and deepen DeFi opportunities for players large and small by breaking through the obstacles currently inhibiting the space.

The Oasis network is trying to fix what’s broken by giving users back control of their data using a combination of secure compute and a proof-of-stake blockchain.

Oasis Network Carers receive a bespoke financial package of around £20,000 per year plus training and will be fully supported by a Liaison Worker.

The Oasis Network is a ministry, a growing group of radio stations and FM translators, committed to being a positive and uplifting voice.

The Oasis Network is backed by respected VC firms and investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, Binance and many others.

Blockchain

In doing so, it intends to attract to a permissionless blockchain otherwise incompatible projects in fields such as those involving private medical and financial data.In the Oasis Network, TEEs—essentially, isolated hardware devices providing secure enclaves for computation—may be employed by some Compute Committees to execute smart contracts off-chain, ultimately recording on the blockchain only a finalized transaction state and a cryptographic proof confirming proper contract execution.Oasis further distinguishes itself through its privacy-enhancing Ekiden protocol: a framework for the use of trusted execution environments by members of Compute Committees.Thus, in separating computation from consensus, such a protocol theoretically shields sensitive smart contract data from exposure to the public blockchain and, thus, external observers.

Network

ROSE Farm + ROSE Cultivate – described as being designed to provide an easy way for Oasis Community members to gain access to the ROSE token while incentivizing token holders to help secure the Oasis Network by staking ROSE tokens with Bison Trails.The token distribution took place in two phases on CoinList.

AdMad at your Computer?

Boost and fix your computer with ease, now.

Can my staked ROSE be slashed (seized or destroyed)?

Yes, a portion of your staked ROSE can be destroyed.

Can you run Ethereum smart contracts on the Oasis Network? Or if not directly run smart contracts, could you access a bridge between Ethereum ERC20 assets and Oasis?

In short, yes! The Oasis Network supports EVM-compatible ParaTimes which will support a wide range of applications.

Do I maintain custody of my ROSE tokens? Who or what controls my staked ROSE token?

You will be able to self-custody your Oasis ROSE tokens, ideally using a Ledger hardware wallet.Instructions for using your Ledger wallet with Oasis can be found here.

Do you have ala carte services?

Yes, we offer engineering drawing services for wire diagrams, in-market sales calls, marketing support and website design.We also offer in-person training programs, marketing collateral and call suport.

Does the Oasis Network have a vision for DeFi? Is it different from the mainstream view of DeFi?

The first generation of DeFi dApps has provided the market with a huge number of protocols and primitives that are meant to serve as the foundation for the specific components of a new financial system.Despite the current focus on short-term returns, we at Oasis believe the goal of DeFi applications should be to give rise to a new financial system that removes subjectivity, bias, and inefficiencies by leveraging programmable parameters instead of status, wealth, and geography.Oasis aims to support the next wave of DeFi applications by offering better privacy and scalability features than other Layer 1 networks.

How do I buy Oasis Network?

It is not possible to buy all cryptocurrencies with U.S.dollars.Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin and other popular cryptocurrencies can be purchased with U.S.dollars using Coinbase or BlockFi.Once you have purchased Bitcoin using Coinbase, you can then transfer your Bitcoin to an exchange such as Binance to purchase other cryptocurrencies, including Oasis Network.

How do I mine Oasis Network?

Oasis Network is a proof-of-stake (PoS) currency, which means that blocks on the Oasis Network blockchain are not mined using hashing algorithms like Bitcoin.Rather, coins are earned by “staking” existing coins on the network or by running a master node.

How does privacy help create a new system of Open Finance?

Existing financial systems and data systems are not open at all.They are only accessible to a select few.Privacy has a much broader meaning than just keeping something private.Thanks to privacy-preserving computation, users can retain ownership of their information and grant others access to compute on their data without actually revealing (or transferring) their data.This will enable users to accrue data yields by essentially staking their data on the blockchain, unlocking a wide range of new financial opportunities.

How does storage work on the Oasis Network? Do you use IPFS?

Storage on the Oasis Network is determined by each ParaTime.There is a clear separation of concerns between the consensus layer and the runtime layer.The ParaTimes that make up the runtime layer have a lot of flexibility in how they choose to manage storage.For instance, the ParaTime being developed by Oasis Labs can support IPFS as its storage solution.Other ParaTime developers could opt to implement different storage mechanisms based on their own unique storage needs.

How does the Oasis Network achieve privacy and confidentiality? Is it through homomorphic encryption?

There are many ways to achieve confidentiality.Using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) is one way.This is what we do.In effect, we provide end-to-end confidentiality for transactions where state and payload are encrypted at rest, in motion, and, more importantly, in compute.homomorphic encryption is another technique for confidentiality.At this time, anyone can build a ParaTime on the Oasis Network that uses homomorphic encryption to provide confidentiality.We are not prescriptive about what approach developers should take.

How is a ParaTime different from a Parachain?

Unlike a Parachain, a ParaTime does not need to do consensus itself, making them simpler to develop and more integrated into the network as a whole.ParaTimes take care of compute and discrepancy detection is used to ensure correctness and integrity of execution, making ParaTimes more efficient than Parachains and other chain designs that rely on sharding.

How much is a membership? What do I get?

$ZERO to join as an Oasis Aviation Network member.Product discounts, installation tips and access to installation manuals on products we sell.Basic members get online map icon with contact information.

How will the Oasis Network’s token be used in the network when it launches?

The ROSE token will be used for transaction fees, staking, and delegation at the Consensus Layer.

I just got my A&P license, can I join?

Yes! We strongly suggest you join and start with professional guidance and mentorship with our team.Our membership is designed to train and support the next generation of aircraft mechanics to support the future of general aviation.

I’ve seen Oasis use both the terms “Open Finance” and “DeFi”? What’s the difference?

The terms “Open Finance” and “DeFi” are interchangeable.However, we believe that “Open Finance” better represents the idea that the new financial system should be accessible to everyone who operates within the bounds of specific programmable parameters, regardless of their status, wealth, or geography.

I’m not a part 145 repair station, can I install avionics?

Yes, with the supervision and return to service of an A&P/IA for the 337 documents.You will need a part 145 repair station to complete 91.411/91.413 checks on many product installations.

Is the Oasis Protocol Foundation still taking grant applications for projects that are building new dApps?

Yes! We are still taking grant applications.You can apply any time here.

Is this available for Flight Schools?

YES! We have many flight schools as members as the membership includes unlimited product support, discounts on RMA’s for repairs, monthly product discount coupons and bigger discounts on products and services.

What are the organization’s capabilities for doing this?

OASIS has operated successfully since 2001, with a budget now approximating $150,000 per year.OASIS maintains no physical assets, relying on the generosity of the school district to provide facilities for four warehouse sites.OASIS currently employs 3 part-time individuals: Executive Director, Associate Director, and a Marketing/PR student intern.A small army of dedicated volunteers – our greatest asset – is utilized to keep the operation running smoothly.OASIS also receives support (through fundraising and volunteers) from several local civic clubs.Several partnerships have been critical to the success of OASIS: Partnership with school district provides warehouse facilities, Partnership with school district office of social workers provides a method for identifying students in need and a distribution channel to the students, Partnership with YMCAs, schools, recreation centers, as collection sites for gently used clothing.

What are the organization’s key strategies for making this happen?

OASIS has partnered with the Hillsborough County School District to obtain warehouse/distribution sites for the OASIS goods free of charge.School Social Workers identify students in need and either select the items at a site, or submit an on-line order to be delivered to the school to meet the needs of the students.OASIS applies for funding from various organizations to purchase uniform clothing, socks, underwear, shoes, hygiene items and clocks.OASIS partners with local YMCA branches to serve as collection sites for gently used school clothing.OASIS relies on many dedicated volunteers who help with the important tasks of: delivering donated items to OASIS warehouses, laundering clothing, sorting and folding clothing, organizing clothing drives in neighborhoods, cleaning and organizing the warehouses.These many strategies are used to provide a grass-roots, unique and efficient approach to serving the many at-risk students in our local schools.

What aspects of DeFi require privacy? How can the Oasis Network’s focus on privacy help with DeFi applications?

In the current generation of DeFi, some miners and traders are leveraging the inefficiencies of Ethereum to stack mining fees and interest rates, while preventing many more people from participating in the industry.Privacy can play a strong role in making the network function properly by reducing these inefficiencies.At the application level, privacy is an enabler.For instance, strong privacy guarantees can encourage established institutions to participate in the system because these institutions would be able to protect their interests and relationships.Additionally, privacy features can serve as the foundation for a reputation system, thereby unlocking the full potential of undercollateralized lending.We keep hearing that privacy is the next big thing in DeFi, and we look forward to empowering developers to build the next generation of DeFi applications.

What coins are similar to Oasis Network?

The following coins use the same hashing algorithm (Proof of Stake) as Oasis Network: KnoxFS, Verasity, Sport and Leisure, AXEL, Rakon, Telos, inSure, Rewardiqa, Neutrino Dollar, 1irstcoin, Ondori, Bitball Treasure, BitcoinPoS, Tachyon Protocol and Bitcoin 2.

What consensus mechanism are you running? Is it BFT?

The Oasis Network uses Tendermint as its BFT consensus protocol.Given that the consensus layer uses a BFT protocol, the Oasis Network offers instant finality, meaning that once a block is finalized, it cannot be reverted (at least not for full nodes).A ParaTime commitment goes into a block and as such the ParaTime state is also finalized and cannot be reverted once a block is finalized.

What does the Oasis Network’s architecture look like?

The Oasis Network is a Layer 1, proof-of-stake, decentralized network.It has two main components, the Consensus Layer and the ParaTime Layer.

What hashing algorithm does Oasis Network use?

Oasis Network is a proof of stake (PoS) coin that uses the
Proof of Stake
algorithm.

What have they accomplished so far and what’s next?

OASIS has grown significantly during its 17+ years of existence, increasing dramatically the number of students served.For the past several years, the number of students served has leveled off, to approximately 11,000 per year.The ultimate goal is to ensure that no student in the public schools lacks basic necessities to attend school.To meet the needs of more students through the School Social Workers, OASIS grew from one original site to 4, scattered around the large county.Last year, an on-line order/delivery program was implemented, which utilizes school district vans to deliver items directly to the students at school.OASIS now meets the needs of elementary students very well.A new area of exploration to meet more needs of high school students is to create “pop-up” shopping events for students at high needs high schools.

Where can I see the team behind Oasis Network? and any link for their 2021 roadmap?

The website says oasis labs as their devs, But its not clear.Who does what? What is the role of Dawn Song?.Knowing more about the team and their roles resonate more confidence in $ROSE.2021 so far it's been a wet year for $ROSE.The team should come out and communicate more about $ROSE including Dawn Song.Show their passion.Like what Charles and IOHK does for Cardano.Let the community know more about the importance of privacy focused smartcontracts.and how rose standout.Throw in couple of AMA's as well.Please correct me if i am wrong.May be they have other channels where they communicate with the community frequently.

Who will be running all of these ParaTimes? Can anyone run a ParaTime?

The network is agnostic in this regard.Anyone can run a ParaTime.It is completely left up to the devs and users to see which ones provide the functionality that they need.Examples of ParaTimes in development include the Oasis Labs Data Sovereignty ParaTime and the Second State Virtual Machine, an EVM compatible Runtime.

Why doesn’t the Oasis Network do sharding? Does that mean it’s slow?

The Oasis Network does not use sharding.Instead, Oasis leverages a discrepancy detection model leading up to roothash updates, giving the network the same scalability benefits that sharding offers but with added benefits that come from a design that is much simpler to implement in practice.Sharding is a nice idea in theory but comes with a lot of complexity and costs that make it harder to implement in practice.From a security perspective, the complexity of sharding also makes it harder to audit and inherently more vulnerable to security breaches The Oasis Network’s discrepancy detection-based approach provides the same benefits as sharding through a cleaner, simpler, more efficient implementation.Ultimately, the Oasis Network’s unique scalability mechanism ensures that the network is not only fast (like sharding networks purport to be) but also versatile and secure enough to support a wide range of real-world workloads.

Why Oasis?

Designed for the next generation of blockchain, the Oasis Network is the first privacy-enabled blockchain platform for open finance and a responsible data economy.Combined with its high throughput and secure architecture, the Oasis Network is able to power private, scalable DeFi, revolutionizing Open Finance and expanding it beyond traders and early adopters to a mass market.Its unique privacy features can not only redefine DeFi, but also create a new type of digital asset called Tokenized Data that can enable users to take control of the data they generate and earn rewards for staking it with applications — creating the first ever responsible data economy.

Why would anyone choose to build a DeFi project on Oasis over Ethereum?

The network’s cutting-edge scalable features can help unblock DeFi as it works today, fixing the high-transaction fees and slow throughput currently plaguing other Layer 1 networks.Combined, Oasis’ unique ability to provide scalable, private DeFi is expected to make it the leading platform for unlocking the next generation of DeFi markets and use cases.
