We are thrilled to announce the inaugural University program on the Oasis Network, and the largest University program on a Layer 1 blockchain network to date. With over 25 founding members, the Oasis Network will have an active pool of passionate University teams helping to support the network, run nodes, and further our vision for a better, more responsible data economy. This is a testament to their commitment to the goals and vision of the Network and the community more broadly.
By fostering a community of node operators that include members from the world’s top universities, the Oasis Network is helping ensure that it will have a best-in-class validator pool and a top-tier community active on the network at Mainnet. This marks an important milestone in the Oasis Network’s path towards Mainnet and the broad community of support behind growing the network and realizing its mission.
