A privacy layer for Web3: Unlock the potential of Web3 with the Oasis Privacy Layer with Nick Hynes

Ethereum DenverSat, Oct 7, 2023, 12:00 AM

Come learn about the value of privacy in Web3 and how easy it is to add it to your dapp using the Oasis Privacy Layer, a private Ethereum-compatible sidechain where state and transactions are encrypted and visible only to the user and the contract. The workshop explores the potential of the Oasis Privacy Layer, powered by Sapphire, for adding confidentiality to dApps on any EVM network. Nick will further demonstrate how this technology can help developers build privacy-focused applications on the decentralized web, discuss the challenges and opportunities in blockchain privacy and how to add confidentiality to dApps built on EVM networks within minutes. https://twitter.com/nhynes_ Nick Hynes Tech Lead Oasis Network - https://oasisprotocol.org/ Nick Hynes, the Tech Lead at Oasis is working on building the privacy layer for Web3 on Sapphire, the first ever confidential EVM, along with various blockchain applications. At Oasis, Nick has worked on projects such as building the first WebAssembly blockchain runtime that allows executing confidential contracts, created an SDK for authoring them in Rust and TS, and designed and built Parcel, a private data sharing and computation platform; deployed to a wide range of beta customers including Mollie, ADP, Headspace, and Frontend.
