Oasis Protocol Foundation Launches ROFL Mainnet: Verifiable OffChain Compute Framework Powering AI Applications
Positioned as the 'Trustless AWS,' ROFL enables developers to build privacy-preserving consumer and finance applications by leveraging Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)
Oasis Protocol Foundation, steward of the AI-focused and privacy-first Oasis Layer 1 blockchain, has announced the official mainnet launch of Runtime Offchain Logic (ROFL), a transformative new framework designed to enable developers to perform complex computations offchain while retaining blockchain-level trust, verification, and privacy.
ROFL bridges a critical gap in Web3: how to run intensive workloads, such as AI model training, inference, and data analysis, without sacrificing decentralization or trust. With ROFL, developers can execute resource-intensive operations off-chain within secure enclaves, then cryptographically verify and connect the results back to smart contracts on-chain, unlocking entirely new use cases across the AI and blockchain landscape.
'When we think about the future of our digital world, consumers will continue to value convenience and ease of use over anything,' said Jernej Kos, co-founder of Oasis Protocol Foundation. 'Which is why it's critical for developers to focus on building applications that already have privacy and transparency built into their infrastructure. ROFL is a production-ready platform that will serve as plug-and-play infrastructure for building the next wave of AI applications.'
Early Builders on ROFL Are Already Redefining What's Possible
Two standout projects already building on ROFL underscore the platform's versatility:
Zeph, a privacy-first AI companion platform, utilizes ROFL to maintain user data confidentiality through trusted execution environments. In a space plagued by security concerns, a 2023 study in the Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine found 74% of companion apps posed "Critical" or "High" security risks. Zeph ensures sensitive data remains protected and verifiable.
WT3, an autonomous AI agent for decentralized trading strategies, is leveraging ROFL to deliver fully private, trustless key management and trade execution. The project is funded with $100,000 in seed capital from the Oasis Protocol Foundation to accelerate development.
And the pipeline is just getting started. ROFL is designed to support a wide variety of future products, including game hosting, MCP servers, LLM oracles, price oracles, AI-powered chatbots, and more.
ROFL: A 'Trustless AWS' for AI Applications
What sets ROFL apart is its integration with the Oasis TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) Cloud, a robust infrastructure offering developers a full end-to-end TEE-as-a-Service. This makes ROFL the 'Trustless AWS' for AI applications, a white-label compute layer where developers can deploy powerful services with built-in privacy, trust, and scalability.
By combining blockchain's integrity with the processing power of offchain computation, ROFL offers a breakthrough solution to two of today's biggest tech challenges: the blockchain ecosystem's limited application layer and AI's pervasive trust issues.
Builders can start exploring how to leverage ROFL at the oasis.net/rofl-deck.

DoorDash's planned takeover of Deliveroo to be reviewed under EU's simplified merger procedure
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The planned $3.9 billion takeover of Deliveroo by U.S. meal delivery firm DoorDash will be reviewed under the European Union's simplified merger procedure, EU Commission documents showed on Tuesday. The food delivery app companies reached a deal valuing Deliveroo at about 2.9 billion pounds ($3.92 billion) in May. The fact that the EU regulator is reviewing the merger under its simplified procedure usually means it does not see any competition concerns and that approval is probable. Deliveroo's shares have weakened significantly since its 2021 debut as demand for online food delivery stagnated after the COVID pandemic.

SoftBank's Son backs ally Tan with $2 billion Intel investment
By Sam Nussey, Fanny Potkin and Anton Bridge TOKYO (Reuters) -When Lip-Bu Tan stepped down from the SoftBank Group board in 2022 at a time when the Japanese company was grappling with soured investments, his parting message offered advice on how Masayoshi Son's conglomerate could strengthen its business. Three years later, a resurgent SoftBank has made a show of support by taking a $2 billion stake in Intel as Tan, now the storied American company's CEO, seeks to turn around the embattled chipmaker. Tan took Intel's top job in March and is driving restructuring at the company, which lost out to Nvidia in artificial intelligence chips and whose foundry business is struggling. "This is really a vote of confidence of Masa in the turnaround materialising over the coming years," said Rolf Bulk, an analyst at New Street Research. "For Intel, the investment makes it more likely that SoftBank could be a potential client to Intel in the future." The two men have a long-standing relationship. "Masa and I have worked closely together for decades, and I appreciate the confidence he has placed in Intel with this investment," Tan said in a statement. In addition to his time on SoftBank's board, Tan became chairman of chip startup SambaNova, which received backing from SoftBank's Vision Fund. "Masa is brilliant; he's a visionary. But he still needs people to provide safeguards, give him advice, and make him even more successful," Tan wrote in his statement on leaving the SoftBank board. Son, 68, is known as a savvy political operator, appearing publicly with U.S. President Donald Trump twice in the months following the presidential election. He has close relationships with leading tech entrepreneurs such as Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, in which SoftBank has a stake. Last week Tan, 65, met with Trump, who days earlier had called on him to resign due to his ties to Chinese firms. Washington is in talks to take a 10% stake in Intel, Bloomberg has reported. "SoftBank's investment helps but it is not what is going to move the dial for Intel," said Amir Anvarzadeh of Asymmetric Advisors. "It's more to maintain this very good relationship he has with Trump," he said. BACK ON THE OFFENSIVE Son is making splashy investments again after some underperforming tech bets forced a period of retrenchment, with the conglomerate pursuing a $500 billion U.S. data centre venture with OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. SoftBank has acquired a former electric vehicle factory from Foxconn in Ohio as it looks to advance its Stargate data center project. Arm, which is controlled by SoftBank, plans to make its own chips, and the Japanese conglomerate also acquired chipmaker Graphcore last year. SoftBank's shares have been on a tear, boosted by positive sentiment around its AI investments. "The $2 billion investment should be viewed more as a strategic stake rather than a financial one," said Nori Chiou, investment director at White Oak Capital Partners. "In the world of cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing, only capital commitments in the $30 billion–$40 billion range carry true commercial weight," he said. Industry experts say Tan still faces a mountain to climb to turn around Intel, which has suffered from years of management missteps. "It is Masa making a contrarian bet but one where I think the downside risk is fairly limited," said Bulk of New Street Research.

Soccer players' union wants quick resolution of India domestic soccer stalemate
Global soccer players' union FIFPRO has called for a swift resolution to the crisis that has gripped the domestic game in India. The 2025-26 India Super League (ISL) season was due to start in September, but the 14-team competition has been suspended due to uncertainty over the renewal of its organizing agreement between the Indian federation and its commercial partner, the Football Sports Development Ltd., pending a Supreme Court ruling. In early August, three ISL clubs, Bengaluru FC, Odisha FC and Chennaiyin FC, either suspended salaries or ceased soccer operations until a solution is found. 'The lack of clarity for players over the 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) season, arising from a dispute over the league's organization and governance that has led to its indefinite suspension, is having a significant impact on their livelihoods, careers, and well-being,' FIFPRO Asia/Oceania said in a statement released Tuesday. 'Players have been subjected to unilateral and unlawful suspensions of their employment contracts until further notice,' the statement added. 'These actions represent a direct breach of the players' labor rights and are causing significant distress.' Media reports in India said the Supreme Court's ruling was expected to be delivered on Friday. In early July, Manolo Márquez left his position by mutual consent as head coach of India's national team after just one win in eight games and less than a year in the job. On Aug. 1, after discarding hoax applications from Xavi and Pep Guardiola, the All India Football Federation hired Khalid Jamil as the new head coach. ___ AP soccer:
