The fixed cap is 10B tokens and it's always great when there is a fixed supply. Only about 1.5B tokens were available at launch, according to their website.

The allocation of the tokens actually looks decent, with about 38% potentially going to insiders in the categories of backers, foundation and strategic partners.

What's interesting is that the allocations to the foundation, partners and ecosystem go up over time, while everything else flatlines.

Their website isn't super clear on how this release system works, from what I can tell, it doesn't look too bad. It's nice that the community allocation goes up with the partners and foundation.

Not the worst setup I've seen, but not clearly beneficial either.

I'm not big on the governance piece though, that only rewards the people with the most tokens.

The Oasis Protocol is a privacy-first, decentralized data and compute exchange platform. It is powered by its own open source blockchain and features a secure, private, and scalable network architecture. Oasis also supports a wide range of data and compute services, such as data storage and retrieval, machine learning, and more.

I'm not convinced that Oasis truly cares about privacy. I would avoid this project if you're looking for a platform to build a privacy focused project on.

For starters, they are working with Meta, which is one of the biggest data harvesters in the world. They do no care about privacy. Another associate that doesn't care about privacy is Binance, one of their backers. They also just partnered with Equifax to do KYC. In my opinion, any project that jumps right into doxing people doesn't really care about privacy.

A lot of what they say in their whitepaper sounds good, but appears to be very theoretical at this point. For example, they say that ParaTimes may implement other privacy tech like ZKP and fully homomorphic encryption...which means that they don't have it now. Fully homomorphic encryption is actually really hard to do, so it looks like they are just dropping buzzwords to make their project seem legit.

The Oasis Network has established itself as a leading web3 privacy champion by placing great importance on the needs of the community, providing high-quality products, and educating the community through engagement and entertainment and I believe it deserves a strong 4-star rating.
 Furthermore, the Oasis team understands that web3 technology can be complex and intimidating for many people and have made efforts to make it accessible and engaging for everyone. Through various engagement and entertainment initiatives, such as hackathons, meetups, and educational resources, the Oasis Network has created an environment that fosters learning and growth within the community. With a strong team and growing community, I am excited to see how the Oasis Network will continue to innovate and lead in the development of privacy-focused web3 technologies.

Consider $ROSE and its prospects in the medium and long term.

AI narrative.
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz around artificial intelligence coins and big data, even for projects that have no connection to AI. Unfortunately, in such situations, people tend to buy anything labeled with "AI" making it difficult to identify genuinely worthwhile products. Despite the many hyped-up and pointless projects, there are a few decent options. Among them, $Rose stands out due to its partnership with META, which allows it to collaborate on AI-related projects. Thus, of all the AI tokens, $Rose likely has the most significant partnership.

Privacy
With the shift of $ETH away from a privacy-focused model, privacy-based networks/chains like $XMR (Monero) have rallied. As the push for regulatory compliance grows stronger, the crypto community, which is mostly against such regulations, is expected to increasingly support and prioritize privacy-focused networks.

$Rose is currently trading close to its ICO price*, which suggests that most early investors who wished to sell have already done so. The remaining VCs and investors are likely to hold their positions until there is significant upward momentum in the price.

*ICO price = 0.08; VCs bought it 0.02 - 0.03 in 2018. Those VCs have so much money they can afford to wait 5 - 10 years to cash out.

So it’s highly unlikely we’ll see $ROSE being sold off under 0.08 by early backers.
As with almost all tokens, their supply is inflationary until they hit their max supply.

MC = 390M $
FDV = 770M $
Circulating Supply = 5.7B
Total Supply = 10B

The current price looks quite attractive to buy, but get ready to hold it in the long run to make a significant profit. I'll simply an observer.

The community may be getting the short end of the stick...

The project's tokenomics seem to favor large investors and contributors, and Oasis is dipping into the staking pool with vested foundation tokens.

Although I was lucky enough to discover this project in its early stages when it offered free tokens through staking USDT, I have several concerns with the tokenomics. First, the distribution of these free tokens was not evenly spread out, with big investors receiving disproportionately large allocations of free tokens. Additionally, the tokenomics heavily favor backers, core contributors, and strategic partners, who hold over 50% of the total tokens.

Moreover, the release schedule for the tokens is problematic, with a significant number of tokens released over the first two unlocks for backers, which smells fishy. Also, not a fan that the vested foundation tokens (~10%) are staked and cannibalizing the 23% reward pool for average retail investors and holders, leading to further concerns about the project's tokenomics.

The 24-hour trading volume is also quite low, and the TVL of 22.5M ranks the project at #46 among chains.

$ROSE is a native Oasis Network asset launched in November 2020. It is used for the payment of transaction fees, the delegation of authority at the consensus level, and staking by validating nodes ( nearly the same as ETH).

TLDR on Token Metrics - pretty well designed tokenomics model with long-term structure, staking rewards and consensus voting power except (again!) big % distribution(48% in total) to different "Backers/Contributors/etc", namely VCs. (Spoiler - due to the big pump during end 2021-early 2022 and subsequent drop I believe that several big players dumped their bags)

 Token Distribution(1st pic). Exorbitant % for Backers/Contributors
 A16Z is among "big" backers, these guys playing extremely smart and long-term(2nd pic)
 Well designed Circulation Schedule(3rd pic)
 Staking Rewards Schedule which looks like a good attempt to reduce inflation more or less. (4th pic)

4 stars, not 5 is only because I really believe its possible to create a healthy + sustainable model without giving so big % to manipulative players especially if the product doesn't generate any serious profit in terms of revenue/business model. But it seems a kind of manipulation took place during the last periods(not a surprise in crypto space obviously).

Oasis Network ($ROSE) is a modular blockchain which specializes in privacy-preserving techniques. Oasis is one of the interesting project in blockchain-assisted AI computation.

Developing machine learning models requires large data sets, but many of the most useful and relevant data sets are private and "siloed," making them difficult to access due to regulations. Responsible data sharing using secure enclaves, as illustrated in this infographic, is currently the only way to gain access to this valuable data. However, security standards can vary among companies and services, making it difficult to sufficiently guarantee data confidentiality.

"Confidential computing ensures that data remains private during computation and cannot be reused without permission."

Oasis Network aims to address this challenge by using tokenized data to power the next generation of privacy-first applications and create a new, responsible data society. Data providers can stake their data with apps and control how their sensitive information is consumed, earning rewards in the process. The Oasis Network isn't just another abstract "data and AI" blockchain - it enables a data economy to scale massively on public decentralized infrastructure.

It's hard to do a project analysis because of Recently there has been a lot of hype around AI & Big Data coins. Ironically, some of these projects have nothing to do with AI, but when a narrative takes hold,  people will buy anything not nailed down. It's easy to buy something clearly labeled as "AI".

There are a couple that seem decent but most seem like hyped up useless vapourware
Speculators will leave when hype dies off so prices will dump.
ROSE seems to be more fundamental, I am very glad that he was not on the list of coins that grew on the recent hype.

*Meta has invested billions of dollars into AI, and they are relying on Oasis to responsibly analyze data from Instagram surveys:

A privacy enabled layer 1. Great looking project and whitepaper. They have lots of unique ideas on how to enable private data on blockchain and they have partnerships with Meta and BMW.

Only concerns are that the team seems to be anonymous and I couldn't find any usage analytics.

"Layer 1 PoS smart contract platform that provides scalability, extensibility, and privacy. "

I think they're very interesting because private transactions and computations is important for Blockchain's future and their architecture allows incorporating various privacy and consensus technologies. So they're setting themselves up to easily incorporate new technologies.

Whitepaper Outtakes:

Our goal is to enable a range of privacy enhancing technologies so that different ParaTimes can choose different technologies and make different trade-offs.

The consensus layer accommodates multiple smart contract runtimes simultaneously.

Our modular layered design separates smart contract execution from consensus, reducing the replication factor for smart contract execution without sacrificing security

Pretty decent website that gets the info across: they're a privacy enabled and scalable blockchain. Coingecko lists a couple of website, but only this one is useful: https://oasisprotocol.org/

pro:
They mention collaborations with Meta and BMW on a separate website
OK YouTube channel with lots of videos that I'd watch if I have time to dig deeper.
Whitepaper and several more papers in their "technology" section

con:
They don't really explain what kind of privacy solution it is. Is it zkSNARK? Guess you have to dig pretty deep to find out what they're really doing
Explorer analytics has no history past 30 days
