Oasis & Flashback Labs: Enabling Privacy-First AI Training
Flashback Labs is building on ROFL to enable private AI training where users own and monetize their data.
- A privacy-first federated learning protocol enabling secure AI model training
- Users maintain full data ownership while monetizing their contributions
- Oasis TEEs protect sensitive user data throughout the training lifecycle
The Oasis Protocol Foundation is excited to announce a collaboration with Flashback Labs, a startup focused on distributed and private AI model training powered by the Oasis stack. Flashback is building on top of Runtime Offchain Logic (ROFL) to address one of the most critical current challenges in AI: providing access to diverse, high-quality datasets while preserving user privacy and data ownership.
The platform addresses a fundamental bottleneck in the AI sector where traditional training approaches often compromise personal privacy or violate data regulations. Flashback Labs' federated learning protocol creates an alternative, featuring a marketplace mechanism where users can monetize their data while maintaining complete ownership and control, leveraging distributed network nodes, which, in turn, enable secure model training without exposing sensitive information.
By deploying on ROFL, Flashback is ensuring that training processes are confidential and secure. User data never leaves individual devices and no centralized trust is required, while the protocol enables the creation of robust, globally-trained AI models. The platform leverages Oasis trusted execution environments (TEEs) with end-to-end encryption, while all training outputs are cryptographically verifiable and recorded onchain.
The Flashback team has proven expertise in crypto and AI, including leadership with experience at major tech companies. The project already has notable traction, with its mobile app becoming the #1 on BNB Greenfield within three weeks of launch. With numerous partnerships in the works, plus backing from Dora Ventures, Flashback Labs is poised to make a splash in decentralized AI training.
