Anyone tech-savvy and involved in blockchain knows the tech stack and SDKs are essential tools of the trade. For the quintessential web3 developer, frameworks offer critical advantages too. Here is a quick overview of the latest solution from Oasis, the pioneer of smart privacy for web3 and AI.
A Brave New World
Last year, Oasis introduced a bold new framework: off-chain verifiability working in tandem with on-chain confidentiality. It’s simple, powerful, and visionary.
The architecture of ROFL (Runtime Off-chain Logic) offers a unique approach to securing off-chain performance without compromising on-chain trust. As Web3 evolves with AI integration and transforms the modern crypto experience, the scope and impact of ROFL take on a whole new dimension.
The workflow is easy to understand and follow. And the result packs quite a punch.
So… What's the Catch?
The framework’s name: ROFL.
While the acronym stands for something serious, it triggered a chorus of not-so-serious reactions. Laughter, mockery, and unsolicited advice for name changes poured in from armchair critics and skeptics, whose only provinces are emojis and memes, and whose commentaries rarely rise beyond surface-level hot takes.
The Oasis team, staying focused and unperturbed, continued to build and perfect what they started. And now we see the next evolution of that original framework...
ROFL App Goes Live
The ROFL app https://rofl.app/ launched on mainnet earlier this month during the Afternoon TEE Party in Cannes.
And adoption followed thick and fast.
Here's a list, by no means an exhaustive one, of projects getting in early by embracing ROFL’s vision:
🔁 Tradable: AI-driven private trading
🧠 Flashback Labs: Privacy-first AI model training
🧾 Plurality Network: Confidential identity systems
📈 TDX: Web3 trading integrations
And more from the Oasis ecosystem:
🛡 Thorn Protocol: Zero-knowledge apps on Sapphire + ROFL
🤖 Zeph: AI companions with privacy baked in
🏥 Tamarin Health: Health data privacy through TEEs
So What Is ROFL, Really?
Think of ROFL as a decentralized TEE cloud. It removes the three most critical barriers to adoption:
Performance
Privacy constraints
Real-world integrations
Key USPs?
✅ supports any coding language
✅ supports any chain
✅ no TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) experience needed
✅ flexibility of using Oasis CLI or choosing from built-in templates
Why This Matters
ROFL unlocks limitless composability and versatile use cases.
And its core features are game-changing for developers and end-users alike:
🔐 Privacy by design
✅ Security as default
🔄 Seamless on-chain + off-chain integration with tamper-proof processing and scalability
🧠 AI-native logic bundled with decentralization, trustlessness, verifiable privacy
Final Word
This is what many in web3 have been waiting for - and it’s here now.
No one is laughing anymore.
If you get in early into ROFL, you’re part of the next evolution of web3 compute.
If you don’t… well, you miss the point, the chance, the party - and the joke will be on you.

Love seeing how far ROFL has come. The tech behind it is seriously impressive.
The way it handles off chain compute with on chain trust and still keeps things private feels like exactly what Web3 needs right now.
Super cool to see real projects already building with it.
Honestly feels like one of those “you’ll wish you got in early” kind of moments.
