Zero1 Labs, a well-known organization for nurturing top-notch technical teams in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), has recently announced a strategic collaboration with Oasis, a leading blockchain platform specializing in scalability and confidential computing. The objective of this partnership is to fortify the foundations of Web3, privacy, and AI by merging Zero1’s advanced Decentralized AI (DeAI) solutions with Oasis’s revolutionary privacy technologies.
Zero1 Labs is a community-centric DeAI ecosystem that supports projects enrolled in the Zero Construct Program (ZCP), ensuring a successful market launch. The primary mission of Zero1 Labs is to empower developers and innovators by equipping them with the necessary tools, resources, and support to thrive in the AI talent landscape. The DeAI ecosystem, which boasts its core ZCP product, is further strengthened by the Keymaker multi-modal tooling marketplace and the Cypher chain.
On the other hand, Oasis is a groundbreaking Layer 1 blockchain designed to facilitate scalability and confidential computing. It is home to Sapphire, the first-ever confidential EVM that empowers Web3 and AI developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) with inherent privacy. Oasis also offers the Oasis Privacy Layer (OPL), which allows any dApp from any EVM chain to integrate privacy features without leaving its native chain. To foster innovation, Oasis provides a grants program that offers up to $50,000 to assist developers in incorporating confidentiality and accelerating the growth of their dApps.
This new partnership between Zero1 Labs and Oasis aims to enhance the security of AI solutions developed under Zero1 Labs by building a privacy-centric DeAI ecosystem. By collaborating with Oasis as an incubation partner, Zero1 Labs will magnify the impact of their combined privacy technology and AI ecosystem for projects launched through their platform. There are numerous advantages for projects that choose to launch with Zero1 Labs and Oasis.
Oasis’s confidential EVM, Sapphire, enables unparalleled on-chain confidentiality. This technology allows platforms like Ocean’s Predictoor to provide AI model predictions on price movements directly on-chain while safeguarding data privacy. This confidentiality feature facilitates the computation of aggregate predictions, granting access to on-chain predictions only to subscribed traders, thus opening up new business models.
The ROFL framework enables verifiable off-chain computation, allowing for complex, non-deterministic computations that can interact with remote network resources. This greatly expands the potential applications of smart contracts. With ROFL, off-chain processes are trustworthy and seamlessly integrated into the blockchain.
Both Zero1 Labs and Oasis firmly believe that while not all AI needs to be on-chain, the integrity and verification of its computations should be ensured. Their technologies guarantee that any computation, whether on-chain with Sapphire or off-chain with ROFL, can be verified across their decentralized network. This capability is crucial for a wide range of applications, from autonomous AI agents to decentralized AI training, all powered by a robust network of validator nodes equipped with specialized hardware for TEE attestations.
Overall, the partnership between Zero1 Labs and Oasis marks a significant milestone in the creation of a secure, privacy-centric ecosystem for AI and Web3 developers. By leveraging their respective strengths, they are setting new standards for privacy and security in decentralized AI applications, paving the way for innovative solutions and fostering a more secure digital future.
