Oasis Foundation partners with over 25 top universities and university clubs from Cambridge, Oxford, and Berkeley to further enable its mission of building a responsible data economy.
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.

The program provides technical support, tutorials to student participants, and provides them with a direct funnel to new jobs, internship and research opportunities at Oasis and across the Oasis ecosystem.
With many universities actively engaged in the Oasis Network development today, the University Program has proven a great way to expand the validator pool for the network with high-quality participants and to focus top-tier thinkers, researchers, and academics on furthering the growth of the Oasis Network . In addition to participating in the Network itself, universities will have the opportunity to foster the development of a broad and substantive ecosystem focused on building a responsible data economy.
Infrastructure Partners
In an effort to connect universities with other members and experts within the Oasis Network ecosystem, the Oasis Foundation has partnered with a number of infrastructure and community partners, like Bison Trails, to work with universities to provide technical and staking support. Support from infrastructure and community partners include Bison Trails, Blockdaemon, En[code] Club, and Simply VC, who will work with universities to provide technical and staking support as needed.
