Oasis Protocol Foundation Deploys ROFL Mainnet: Reliable Off-chain Computation Infrastructure Useful for Artificial Intelligence Programs
The Oasis Protocol Foundation has recently unveiled its ROFL Mainnet, a groundbreaking blockchain framework designed to facilitate verifiable off-chain computation for scalable AI applications while maintaining privacy and trust. Officially launched in early July 2025, this development marks a significant stride in combining blockchain integrity with off-chain computing [1][2][3][4][5].
### What is ROFL Mainnet?
ROFL, short for Runtime Offchain Logic, enables developers to execute resource-intensive operations off-chain within secure enclaves—trusted hardware environments that guarantee the security and privacy of computational data. After computation off-chain, results can be cryptographically verified and connected back to the blockchain, ensuring trustworthiness and auditability without revealing private data [1][4].
### Bridging the Gap for AI Applications with Privacy and Trust
AI workloads, such as model training, inference, and data analysis, which are computationally heavy, are run off-chain using secure enclaves. This approach avoids overloading the blockchain and enhances scalability while preserving the confidentiality of sensitive inputs and models. The outputs and processes are verifiable on-chain, ensuring transparency and trust without sacrificing data privacy [1][4][5].
In essence, ROFL effectively bridges a major gap in Web3 by combining blockchain's decentralized trust with off-chain performance and privacy required for AI applications. This eliminates the traditional trade-offs between data privacy, trust, and computational efficiency in AI on blockchain ecosystems [1][2][4][5].
### A Robust Platform for Developers
ROFL Mainnet provides a robust platform for developers to build powerful AI applications that need both scalability and privacy protection. It supports a wide variety of future products, including game hosting, MCP servers, LLM oracles, price oracles, AI-powered chatbots, and more.
Two projects already building on ROFL include Zeph, a privacy-first AI companion platform, and WT3, an autonomous AI agent for decentralized trading strategies. The Oasis Protocol Foundation has even provided seed capital of $100,000 to accelerate the development of WT3 [6].
### The Oasis TEE Cloud and Beyond
ROFL's integration with the Oasis TEE Cloud offers developers a full end-to-end TEE-as-a-Service. Developers can now execute resource-intensive operations off-chain within secure enclaves and cryptographically verify the results back to smart contracts on-chain. This enables developers to build complex computations off-chain while retaining blockchain-level trust, verification, and privacy [7].

Oasis Protocol Foundation is the steward of Oasis Network, a Layer 1 blockchain platform focused on privacy, scalability, and versatility. With the launch of ROFL Mainnet, the Oasis Protocol Foundation is expanding its focus to include AI applications, positioning itself at the intersection of blockchain, privacy, and artificial intelligence.
ROFL is referred to as the "Trustless AWS" for AI applications, offering a white-label compute layer for deploying powerful services with built-in privacy, trust, and scalability. The Oasis Network also offers the first production-ready confidential EVM, Sapphire, for privacy-preserving smart contracts and decentralized applications [8].
