Launching the Oasis public testnet is a big achievement and represents a significant milestone on the Oasis Network roadmap. Achieving this milestone wouldn’t have been possible without a supportive community of privacy enthusiasts, believers in the vision for a more private internet, and also a number of validator partners that have been working with Oasis for several months. Thank you.

Building and growing the Oasis Network will take a community of people with a collective vision to enable privacy-first applications and we’re grateful for the outpouring of support from the entire community at the Public Testnet launch. Highlighting a few below.

From an early supporter, entrepreneur, and investor, Kevin Rose:

A believer in the vision — privacy matters.

Excited about Oasis collaborating with other teams:

The Oasis Network is also fortunate to have many supportive validator partners in the community — many from pre-private testnet, to private testnet, and we hope for much longer. Highlighting a few that gave words of support either through public tweets or published articles about the Oasis Public Testnet launch.

🙌 Iqlusion: We so appreciate the engagement from Iqlusion and especially Zaki Manian for their unending support on both the validator side as well as all things Tendermint. Read Zaki’s blog post on his thoughts of the Oasis Public Testnet launch and of Oasis in general.

🙌 Figment Networks: Yannick Folla and team have been supportive since the beginning. The Oasis Network appreciates their continued support and their confidence in the future of proof-of-stake blockchains and, especially, Oasis. Read their blog post on the Oasis Public Testnet.

🙌 Blockdaemon: The team at Blockdaemon has done a lot to professionalize the blockchain infrastructure and node provider industry. And we’re grateful for their huge support. Go read their Oasis offering page if you’re interested in staking.

🙌 Stake.fish: The stake.fish team gets that running validator nodes is hard. They also know a good .gif when they see one.

🙌 Rockx Digital Asset Services Platform: The Rockx team and, especially, Xinshu Dong has been incredibly helpful and continue to be supportive. We appreciate them being an early validator node for Oasis.

🙌 Staked: Staked is focused catering to the needs of institutional-level stakers. The Oasis Network is fortunate to have the Staked team on our side.

🙌 Forbole: Thanks to the Forbole team for writing up this blog post and for their commentary on the Confidential Computing features of Oasis.

The Oasis Network is just getting started. Our eye is fixed on Mainnet and launching the public testnet was an important step in that journey. We’re grateful to all those that supported us and continue to support us.

Onward and upward!
