Smart Privacy in Web3: Why It Matters and How Oasis is Delivering It

Web3 is built on transparency—but not all data should be public. From DeFi and identity to healthcare and gaming, many applications need privacy without sacrificing decentralization. That’s where Smart Privacy comes in.

What is Smart Privacy?

Smart Privacy means programmable privacy:

  • Fine-grained control over what stays private or public

  • Compliance with frameworks like GDPR

  • Built-in data protection logic within smart contracts

How Oasis Enables This

With Sapphire, Oasis offers the only confidential EVM in production, allowing developers to write Solidity contracts with end-to-end encrypted inputs, outputs, and state—no extra tools or languages needed.

Unlike zero-knowledge silos or mixers, Oasis supports selective disclosure, enabling applications to reveal only what’s necessary. This makes it ideal for real-world Web3 scenarios—private DeFi, compliant identity, data-sharing with control, and more.

In a decentralized future, Smart Privacy isn’t optional—it’s foundational.

"Web3 is built on transparency — but not all data should be public." Well said.
It is the backbone of integrating privacy-preserving technology into blockchain. While many protocols do this, very few are aware of why privacy must be smart.
Short answer: because only then our web3 interactions and experience will be "private when we need it, transparent when it matters".
This is the USP of Oasis, imo.
