Friends of Oasis,
This month marked a number of product and technical releases for us and we’d love for you to test them out and send us your feedback. Send us your thoughts at feedback@oasislabs.com or send us your questions here.
More info on what we’ve been up to below.
Oasis Dashboard
The Oasis Dashboard is our all-new developer portal, giving you a single place to view, configure, and deploy smart contracts.
Top features include:
- Pre-made smart contracts to help you get started
- Streamlined funding so you don’t have to hassle with MetaMask
- Simple project management so you can quickly track DApp engagement
- Integrated and easy-to-use block explorer.
For inspiration, here’s a simple tutorial of how to make a secret messaging app using a confidential smart contract and deploying it via the Oasis Dashboard.
Blockchain-Flavored WASI
Oasis engineer Nick Hynes outlines a proposed mechanism for trustworthy, uncensorable, and autonomous cloud computation based on the combination of three emerging technologies: Web Assembly, the Web Assembly System Interface, and blockchain.

Other recent platform updates and open sourcing include:
- WASI-Runner: A module entry-point for instantiation and execution of WASI-targeted WASM code. A modification of the js-polyfill for easier use in testing / command line interactions.
