Great Question. Here’s what really makes the Oasis Network stand out:
1. The network provides confidentiality of data and support for confidential compute — meaning sensitive data can be used by smart contracts without being exposed publicly (or even shared with the node operator)
2. The network’s ParaTime Architecture allows it run parallel smart contract layers, allowing the network to be very versatile (For example you can build a ParaTime to run almost another other chain’s smart contacts, like our new Ethereum ParaTime that’s completely backwards compatible with Ethereum.)
3. The network is designed to be incredibly scalable. We have over 10x the throughput of Ethereum, 6s confirmation times, and thats really just the beginning.
We see the network growing from real world use cases and applications. For example, because Oasis can support private data, DeFi apps can analyze real-world data to determine creditworthiness — allowing them to offer under-collateralized loans expanding DeFi beyond early adopters and traders to a mass market.
