The Oasis Dashboard is a developer portal to view, configure, and deploy smart contracts in a simple and more streamlined way.

Top features include:

  • Pre-made smart contracts: For commonly used functions, pull from a number of public contracts and make your favorite contracts public for others to use as well.
  • Streamlined funding: Avoid refunding your wallet or constantly fiddling around with MetaMask. Instead, you can choose to either upload your existing wallet to Oasis and we will auto-fund you as you deploy contracts or avoid MetaMask altogether with our own built-in web-based wallet.
  • Simple project management: Quickly view your DApps and contracts. Once you’ve deployed a new contract you can also track engagement over time.
  • Prototyping and testing made easy: In partnership with Thunkable, a drag-and-drop mobile app development platform, you can test any smart contract by creating a simple mobile app. This helps with everything from quickly debugging issues to getting user feedback fast.

To get started, just log in at dashboard.oasiscloud.io.

More on the Oasis Dashboard

The Dashboard is designed to help simplify the development experience on the Oasis platform. For this first release, we’ve focused our efforts on making it easier to manage and view engagement with your smart contracts, as well as streamlining the way we provide funding.

The Dashboard features a set of public contracts which you can use as a starting point for your project. One of our favorites is the Secret Ballot smart contract, which leverages the Oasis platform’s unique privacy-preserving technology to protect voter identity, while also providing an auditable and verifiable record of votes. You can also copy this contract and adjust the parameters to make your own Secret Ballot instance.

Additionally, smart contracts can easily be grouped into a project. This means you can easily monitor all metrics and smart contracts associated with a project from one location.

Finally, we’ve streamlined our funding process by removing the need to collect funding via a Faucet or MetaMask. For new users, the dashboard will make actions on your behalf, allowing you to experiment with deploying and remixing contracts before setting up MetaMask. For existing users, we’ll keep your MetaMask account funded automatically after you register, so that you don’t have to worry about a separate faucet.

What’s next

As we continue to build the Oasis platform, we’re looking to make development even easier and more accessible. Our goal is to make secure, privacy preserving cloud services available to any developer who needs it. Right now we support both Rust and Solidity, but over the next few months the Oasis platform will begin to provide additional language support, libraries, and functionality as well.

Log in to the Dashboard and get started building your application today. If you have additional questions, or would like to partner with Oasis please email us at feedback@oasislabs.com.
