Great news
I'm excited to share that the Oasis Protocol Foundation has launched a new strategic investment arm, evolving from a grants-only approach into a long-term capital strategy to support builders in Web3.
๐ก First investment: SemiLiquid
SemiLiquid is building custody-native credit infrastructure for real-world assets (RWAs) and is integrating Oasis Sapphireโs confidential compute stack to enable secure, privacy-preserving on-chain finance.
๐ Why this matters
RWAs are rapidly growing across DeFi and institutional markets
Confidentiality and compliance are no longer optional
Oasis is doubling down on privacy-first, compute-intensive infrastructure
๐ง SemiLiquid leverages Liquefaction, a protocol developed by Cornell Tech on Sapphire, to manage trade execution, policy enforcement, and breach monitoring without exposing sensitive financial data.
๐ค Theyโve already completed a successful pilot with Franklin Templeton, Zodia Custody, and Ava Labs, demonstrating trustless, decentralized credit for tokenized assets while maintaining custody assurances.
Today, Oasis is ensuring the future of on-chain finance is confidential and safe.

This marks an important step in Oasisโs evolution as a privacy-first foundation supporting real-world adoption.
