A new project called HURA AI, backed by Huralya, is kicking off with a grant from the Oasis Protocol Foundation. Their goal? To build privacy-first AI wellness assistants using Oasis’s tech stack (especially Sapphire and off-chain logic).
Here’s what’s interesting, how it works, and what to keep an eye on.
What is Huralya Doing?
Huralya aims to launch HURA AI as a standalone app (iOS & Android) that helps with emotional well-being and “intelligent decision-making” — think personal assistant meets wellness coach.
The assistant will leverage Oasis’s privacy infrastructure:
Sapphire for confidential compute / privacy-preserving execution
Runtime off-chain logic integrated with on-chain / blockchain ecosystems
They plan to allow crypto payments and traditional payments, keeping the experience flexible.
The project is partially open-source: the components that interface with Sapphire & ROFL (Oasis’s off-chain execution layer) will be released under Apache 2.0.
They’ve set a user adoption target: 20,000 downloads across mobile platforms post-mainnet deployment.
Why It Matters
Bridging AI + Blockchain + Privacy
AI assistants are everywhere, but few combine meaningful privacy guarantees with on-chain interoperability. Huralya’s model is interesting: the AI logic can interact with blockchain data (e.g. user assets, wellness tokens) without compromising privacy.
Confidential Computing in Web3
The use of Sapphire and confidential compute means that the user’s input and AI reasoning can be kept private — even though the network is blockchain-based. This is a growing trend in Web3: giving users control over data while enabling advanced services.
Wellness + AI as Real Use Case
Many AI projects aim for productivity or business. This one targets emotional / personal growth, which is less explored but potentially impactful, especially when privacy is a concern.
Open & Community-Oriented
By open-sourcing key parts, Huralya invites collaboration. This helps build trust (transparency) and lets others innovate on top.
What to Watch
The open-source code they publish (especially Sapphire / ROFL interface)
How they integrate AI model inference under confidentiality
The UX of payments (crypto + fiat)
Growth metrics: whether they reach their download goal
How the AI handles emotion / wellness tasks responsibly

we have had AI agents, we have had AI assistants, now with the Oasis x Huralya partnership, we will have AI wellness agents. as we wade though deeper waters of human-AI interaction that shapes our personal experiences, it is imperative that out sensitive data remains private. With Oasis ROFL, this is not wishful thinking anymore, this is reality. Looking forward to Huralya making the most of the awarded grant and also benefit from Oasis expertise in helping develop and deploy truly trustless and autonomous agents.
Exciting times ahead! The Oasis x Huralya partnership marks a huge step toward secure, privacy-preserving AI wellness. With Oasis ROFL, trustless and autonomous agents are finally becoming a reality—can’t wait to see what Huralya builds next.
Finally a real world use case where the privacy of Sapphire/ROFL is actually essential. Personal wellness data needs this kind of confidentiality.
Really impressive direction! Huralya’s approach feels like the perfect blend of useful and ethical AI. Building wellness-focused assistants on Oasis’s Sapphire and ROFL stack shows how privacy-first design can actually scale in consumer apps. The open-source angle is a great move too, transparency plus confidential compute could set a new standard for how AI handles personal data in Web3.
Love how Huralya’s taking on privacy with AI building assistants on the Oasis Network that don’t compromise user data is no small feat. Can’t wait to see where this goes.
