End-to-End Privacy for Web3 dApps with Oasis Sapphire

End-to-End Privacy for Web3 dApps with Oasis Sapphire

Privacy is one of the biggest missing pieces in today’s Web3 ecosystem. While blockchains offer decentralization and transparency, they lack confidentiality, exposing user data and transaction details on-chain. This is where Oasis Sapphire comes in—providing confidential EVM-compatible smart contracts that bring end-to-end privacy to decentralized applications (dApps).

The Privacy Problem in Web3

Current smart contracts run on public blockchains, meaning:

• All transactions and contract states are visible to everyone.
• User data is permanently exposed, reducing adoption for sensitive use cases.
• DeFi trading strategies, game mechanics, and enterprise logic can be front-run or exploited.

For Web3 to reach mass adoption, dApps need confidentiality, ensuring sensitive data remains private while maintaining decentralization.

Introducing Oasis Sapphire: The First Confidential EVM Runtime

Sapphire is the first confidential EVM-compatible blockchain that enables developers to build privacy-preserving dApps with minimal friction. It offers:

✅ End-to-End Encryption – Data stays encrypted during processing, preventing exposure.

✅ EVM Compatibility – Deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts with added privacy.

✅ Confidential Smart Contracts – Execute logic without revealing contract state publicly.

✅ On-Chain and Off-Chain Privacy – Secure interactions between users, contracts, and external services.

Why Privacy Matters for Web3 Developers

By integrating Sapphire’s confidential smart contracts, developers can:

• Secure user data in DeFi, GameFi, and SocialFi applications.
• Enable private voting, identity management, and healthcare dApps.
• Protect intellectual property in AI-powered smart contracts.
• Prevent front-running and MEV attacks in DeFi protocols.

Real-World Use Cases for Confidential Web3 dApps

• DeFi Privacy – Hide trading strategies from bots and front-runners.
• GameFi – Keep game state confidential to prevent cheating.
• Decentralized Identity – Enable private KYC and credential verification.
• Healthcare & AI – Process sensitive medical and AI model data securely.
