everyone I see the space is totally, but surely filling up so we'll just know it for the other speakers and then we'll start.
Thanks folks.
I'm a douche.
All right, guys.
and I can hope you there.
Yet another rip.
Alright, I see who will join as well. So we have everybody here. And I think we can sort everyone and welcome to our races at Consensus Twitter space. Today we have with us Peter Mateo and Will and we're going to talk a bit about
what we're going to be doing at consensus, where you can meet us in person if you're going to be an author next week. And then let's see where the conversation takes us. But first maybe some quick introductions from everybody here. Peter, let's talk with you. Cool, thanks, Mate.
Yes, I'm Peter. I leave the engineering team at Oasis Labs. I've been a long time contributor to the Oasis Network. I think about five years now, but actually this
will be my first year attending consensus. So I'm really excited, really excited to be going to Austin to have the opportunity to interact with a lot of our community and hopefully see a bunch of you guys there.
Awesome, awesome. Peter's one of the OGs here. Matthias, what are you going to give us a quick intro? Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's the first time for me as well. So I think everyone at the consensus will have something to talk about with us.
So, Peter, perhaps we'll talk about the dev breakfast a bit later, but we'll be focusing basically on all areas of the Oasis. We'll talk about the theory and more about the architecture, about our Oasis platform. We'll talk about how to quickly
start building confidential depths on our Oasis Sapphire paradigm and also we'll talk about the latest leading-gauge technologies like the Oasis privacy layer for connecting with other blockchains and so on. So yeah, everyone, it'll be great.
Awesome, thanks for this. You know that hey hey hey got me that those big connect vibes. Will maybe I'll short intro from you as well, but I think the majority of you know already. Yeah, yeah, for those of you who don't believe I will, you can still grow a spedger at.
the Oasis Foundation, Oasis Protocol. Protocol for the Nation. So we've got a second time at consensus and I'm really excited to go with network and to participate in all these events that we have planned.
Awesome thanks, and I'm a paid manager here at Wases. I think I've been to a few spaces, so no need for a deep introduction. So let's just dive in a little bit more into why we're going to consensus, you know, or always always to spread the word about how on-chain privacy
is the key to unlock the full potential web tree and to showcase how our tooling enables anybody to easily add privacy to their dab on any hivianq file will change. We do a lot of it online but conferences where you know like many people can be
person or always a better place to spread the message and showcase the technology. That's why we decided to host the developer breakfast for everybody that's interested to know more about our privacy layer, see a few demos about how it can be utilized.
It's going to be on the 25th at 8 30 AM Central Time in at the Central District Buring. Seats are limited so make sure you register online to get your tickets. We're also going to be livestreaming it so anybody that can't, you know, join
in person will be able to watch it on probably on YouTube. And we also have Blue Ted Contensor, consensus. It's going to be number 9 to 3. Make sure you stop by one of those as we're having a special way to swag wheel lucky draw.
where you can get some waste escapes back to your shirts or even fans to call off the excitement about the excitement about price it gets too high. You can check out more at oasisproject.org/consensus.
2023, one more information, but yeah, maybe enough from from my side. And maybe you know, Will, can you speak a bit more about what attendees can expect? We got from our presence there, you know, a part from swag and what takes away so you hope they take from our demos.
Yeah, absolutely. You know, I think where we'll be at
We are educating attendees about Sapphire, the first ever confidential EVM from Web3, as well as the OASis privacy layer, which is so you might be familiar with
So, you know, sort of architecture which allows any EMMT to leverage the OSS Sapphire network to add privacy to their applications. And so we're really excited to be able
the showcase, these sort of features for WAP3 to the entire community. Yeah. Yeah, what about you Peter from the developer side, you know, what's your expectation here, but they can
and take away from the demos. >> Yeah, I think just really excited to get hands-on with developers and show them how they can use the kind of
the confidentiality features provided by Sapphire, both by building a depth that runs natively on Sapphire as well as using the OASIS privacy layer to utilize those
those privacy features in their app that's running on any EVM chain. I think some of the recent developments that we've had since the last time that I was
You know, in a in a in person event with developers was San Francisco blockchain week. End of last year at that point we were we were looking forward to launching Sapphire on main net. It hadn't quite happened yet.
And so in the interim since then we've we've launched Sapphire on mainnet so like we'll send the first and only confidential EVM that's running on our mainnet now so you know really everything's in place for you know developers to go
out there and start launching applications that utilize confidential EVM. And so yeah, just really looking forward to meeting developers and helping facilitate folks getting their applications launched on Sapphire.
Yeah, getting their hands dirty. I'm Matyosh. Yeah. Matyosh, I know you will be doing a presentation during the developer practice. And you can you share a bit more about what you're going to be presenting.
Hey, yeah, so we'll be talking about how to get your hands dirty as clean as possible when you start developing on Sephir. So we made two exclusive depths, especially for
for the consensus 2023. So the first one is called the Oasis Riddle, where folks will have to answer a secret question and if they answer it correctly, they will earn some reward. The second depth is the Oasis Swap.
swag folks will try their luck by spinning the wheel and they can earn some racist swag. I'm not really in what those are yet but yeah and it's interesting because those two
apps basically expose unique features of our Oasis confidentiality. Namely, the Oasis riddle, the one used for the questions and answers for the quiz relies on confidential contract state.
Because both answers and questions are stored all on-chain. There are no third party services involved here. So you can basically do that without having a confidential platform. And the OASIS swag that relies on the random number, the random
the number generator. So we also support generating random numbers and even generating new confidential key pairs all on-chain. So these are the features I'm really excited about and we'll talk about those at the dev breakfast.
Awesome awesome. So yeah, with the way the few simple simple doubts, no showcasing what can be done on a larger scale. But maybe we can talk a bit more here about, you know, as more
developers are building with privacy in mind. A lot of things will change your web 3 and Peter I don't know maybe you can answer us what you see as most fascinating, you know, things that privacy can enable.
Yeah sure, thanks, Munte. Yeah, so I think we're speaking to our community here. I think most everyone in our community is really excited about what privacy can bring to Web 3. I think
To me, the thing that I kind of comes to my first is the potential for privacy to really help kind of expand the reach of Web 3 expand to, you know, into different
kinds of applications that haven't been possible up to this point and to usher in more mainstream use cases. And so one thing that we sometimes talk about is this analogy to the change on the web that happened when we went
from HTTP to TLS and HTTPS. That unlocked so many more types of businesses and applications that needed this transport security. I think we see a
Similar thing in Web 3 with going from the current world where we have all on-chain state is fully public, which has a lot of benefits for transparency and is really great. But at the same time can be limiting for
for a lot of services and applications that actually do need to handle both private and public state. And so, I think we're kind of excited about this.
real shift in Web 3 where now you can have, you know, on-chain state that's both public and private and you can have applications that can leverage that to address a lot of use cases that
that currently are not really possible to be done on chain. I think for Web 3 to really continue to grow and go mainstream, I think we see privacy as just a really important necessary building
block. And so, you know, that's, that's, that's the thing that I'm most excited about is just really, really pushing Web 3 forward, expanding the reach and, and, you know, opening up the potential for lots of new types of applications.
definitely, definitely as well to be or crypto mature privacy will definitely be needed. And we can see that already happening with all the conversations that are going around in the ecosystem. Oh, maybe to all the listeners, if you have some questions for us,
you can post them in the replies of the feederspace tweet then we'll try to answer them at the end. But maybe we can touch more on the complete use cases, you know, maybe we'll do you have any use cases that you see that would be an
awesome fit for an OPL that might give some ideas to the hackathon participants as well. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I think this sort of echo Peter, you know, what I'm really excited about are these use cases which I guess like
to expand what privacy means for M3 beyond anonymous transactions into applications which leverage confidential computation as well as like it did in smart contract state to enable more sophisticated applications as well as applications
which can provide better user experiences. So some examples of these would be like, we talked a lot about confidential down voting. So I think in terms of governance, as a world, as a population,
We've seen like that anonymous governance or anonymous sort of voting. You know, I can eliminate biases in a lot of different use cases, but this is not currently possible in Web 3. So the ability for any EVM application
every any even down to leverage opal always privacy layer as well as sapphire in order to you know get this new functionality I think it's like a massive use case for for for all what three the like the ability to essentially use
Oasis for the posting of confidential ballots or inquiry ballots, which things to be aggregated and sent back to their home chain. Another use case that I find extremely exciting is a gaming. So, you know, I think that almost any game
requires some aspects of confidential logic or in current state. So a card game requires you to not know what's in the other player's hands or requires you to not know the current state of the deck. A strategy game often has this fog of war mechanic where
you can't see certain coordinates of the map where you can't see where certain resources are. And even like RPG role-playing games have like puzzles, riddles, quests where like there's some sort of question posed to you which there's an unknown
And in one three right now, like there's no there's no way to do that entirely on chain Where you you can't see the solution for friend these things you can't see the coordinates for the the strategy game you can't see the deck for the card game you can't see the answer to the solution to a query
a riddle or quest in a role-playing game. So I'm very excited by the fact that for the first time ever, the OASis Privacy Player and Sapphire offers sort of a solution which games that want to build, like 3 new games that want to build no longer have to
make this trade off of taking things off chain and losing their trustlessness and their high integrity that comes to the blockchain and instead can build something that's both decentralized high integrity and trustless on chain while also being private. So these are the applications that I find the most interesting. Yeah awesome thank you all for
I mean, I definitely agree that gaming in order to be fully Web 3 needs to get those rid of the Web 2 component where they usually keep the trust full part, what they need to keep private and yeah, also that trust to the blockchain.
something like, what was it's OPL, what was it's apparent and use that to really be trusted. Yeah. Do you have any inputs on the use cases for OPL? Yeah, so I'm I might add, I mean, I liked the comparison Peter gave regarding the
HTTP and HTTPS in the web tool world. I think here actually what we've just did is we jumped two steps ahead. One is having the secure communication protocol between the client and the nodes and the other step we made is basically the
trusted execution environment because any code that is executing and processing your data can be audited and assured even if it's a smart contract for example it can be verified so that the data you're processing is really being processed as they should be you know so
If you compare this to the web tool, even if you have this HTTPS connection, you have no idea what the server is doing on the other side. And here basically, you know exactly where data are going and who is processing it and how. And right, yeah, so regarding the OPL, yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
to this. So there are some depths which are definitely difficult to migrate because of the complexity and testing procedures and so on directly to our platform. So our, yeah, our rational here is that let's just pour this single small fraction
of the app to our platform, to our confidential software, and then use the bridges to integrate this small fraction of the complete app to a short confidentiality back to the codebase of the original app.
Yeah, great insights, my dear, good insights. I think today we're not going to keep or listen just too long because it is Friday. So as we mentioned at the beginning already, we have the work for breakfast on the 25th, which will be live stream. So if you can join in person, we'll be happy to see you on
line and then from 26 to the 28 you can find a set with 9 to 3 at consensus. Also, if anybody has any insights group for some evening side events to let us know in the DMs, we will be happy to join and attend any last thoughts from you guys, Peter Mateusz Will.
If anyone is attending, I'd be extremely pleased to meet you at consensus and I hope to see a large showing from our community there.
Yeah, I'll echo Will on that. I'm looking forward to meeting as many members of our communities we can. And then especially any developers out there who are interested, curious about about
adding privacy to their applications. Yeah, please, please come talk to myself and Mateusz and we, yeah, we're here to provide support and help you figure out how to how to bring your application to Oasis.
Right, and also if you're a researcher or an investor or just a developer developer in smart contracts or just you know, keen in confidentiality.
don't hesitate to to step up and visit us at our booth or join the Discord channel if you haven't already done so we're checking that regularly so yeah, welcome
Yeah, thank you guys. Thank you guys and thank everyone for coming to the Twitter space. Make sure to follow us on Twitter and as materials already said, join our discord and telegram to get the latest info about Oasis. And I guess we'll see you at the next one. Have a good weekend, everyone.
