Zero1 Labs, known for fostering high-quality engineering teams in the AI space, has announced a strategic partnership with Oasis, a leading Layer 1 blockchain specializing in scalability and confidential computing power. This alliance aims to strengthen the foundations of Web3, Privacy and AI by combining Zero1’s advanced decentralized AI (DeAI) solutions with Oasis’ innovative privacy technologies.
Zero1 Labs is a community-oriented DeAI ecosystem that supports projects enrolled in the Zero Construct Program (ZCP), ensuring a successful market launch. Zero1 Labs’ mission is to empower developers and innovators by providing the tools, resources and support needed to help AI talent thrive. The DeAI ecosystem, with its core product ZCP, is strengthened by the Keymaker multimodal tooling marketplace and the Cypher chain.
Oasis is a groundbreaking Layer 1 blockchain designed to facilitate scalability and confidential computing power. It hosts Sapphire, the first confidential EVM that enables 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 the original chain. To promote innovation, Oasis is offering a grant program of up to $50,000 to help developers implement confidentiality and accelerate the growth of their dApps.
A new partnership is here!
We look forward to even more smart privacy development for Web3 and AI with @zero1_labs

Building a privacy-focused DeAI ecosystem
This strategic partnership aims to build a privacy-focused DeAI ecosystem, improving the security of AI solutions developed under Zero1 Labs. By working with Oasis as an incubation partner, Zero1 Labs will increase the impact of their combined privacy technology and AI ecosystem for projects launched through their platform. There are countless benefits to projects starting with Zero1 Labs and Oasis.
Sapphire, Oasis’ confidential EVM, enables unprecedented confidentiality within the chain. This technology allows platforms like Ocean’s Predictoor to provide AI model predictions on price movements directly on-chain, while ensuring data privacy. This confidentiality supports the calculation of aggregated predictions, allowing only subscribed traders to access the predictions on the chain, opening up new business models.
The ROFL framework enables verifiable off-chain computation, allowing for complex, non-deterministic computation that can interact with external network resources. This significantly expands the potential applications of smart contracts. With ROFL, off-chain processes are reliably and seamlessly integrated into the blockchain.
Both Zero1 Labs and Oasis believe that while not all AI needs to be on-chain, the integrity and verification of the computations should be. Their technologies ensure that every calculation, both on-chain with Sapphire and off-chain with ROFL, is verifiable through their decentralized network. This capability is crucial for applications ranging from autonomous AI agents to decentralized AI training, all powered by a robust network of validator nodes equipped with specialized TEE attestation hardware.
Overall, the collaboration between Zero1 Labs and Oasis is an important step toward creating a secure, privacy-focused ecosystem for AI and Web3 developers. By joining forces, they are setting new standards for privacy and security in decentralized AI applications, paving the way for innovative solutions and advancing a more secure digital future.
