Oasis Protocol's First Strategic Investment in SemiLiquid

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.

💡 First investment: SemiLiquid

SemiLiquid is building custody-native credit infrastructure for real-world assets (RWAs) and is integrating Oasis Sapphire’s confidential compute stack to enable secure, privacy-preserving on-chain finance.
🔐 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

🧠 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.

🤝 They’ve 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 Oasis’s evolution as a privacy-first foundation supporting real-world adoption.
