New OMS Security Mechanism from DappOS Revolutionizes Its ‘Intent-Based’ Approach

In the spirit of 1995’s sea change in internet functionality, this project’s innovative approach to node staking also improves speed, efficiency and scalability.

DappOS, an intent-execution network, turns intents into on-chain outcomes by creating a two-sided marketplace. On the supply side, service providers stake collateral and opt into executing tasks that support users’ intents. On the demand side, dappOS enables developers to find solutions to fulfill users’ intents.

DappOS’s “intent-based” approach is distinct from the less user-friendly “imperative-based” protocols that permeate the crypto space.

To improve efficiency, among other things, dappOS introduced a new security mechanism that offers a superior solution for intent tasks. Optmistic Minimum Staking, or OMS, requires users to accept a predefined, agreed-upon compensation when these tasks fail. The network then allows service providers to execute tasks first and verify the results later. If the task fails, the network reaches a consensus about slashing related service providers to ensure that each task will either be successful or that users will be compensated properly.

From 50,000 to 1 billion: How Windows unveiled the ‘1995 Era’ for internet

Intent execution is a critical narrative for Web3, just like Windows95 was in the early days of the internet. It’s that essential nesting of critical apps to a new infrastructure that can support it all. And it could be the incentive beginners need to educate themselves and get Web3-onboarded.

Before 1995, computers required a command line interface, and users had to memorize commands for file management, network requests and graphic displays. Consequently, the total number of Internet users was limited to around 50,000.

Windows 95 transformed all that. By combining a graphical user interface with an integrated browser, Windows 95 enabled people with no technical background to perform complex operations through clicks and drags, leading to an explosive increase in Internet users – from 50,000 to 100 million in a matter of months.

dappOS believes Web3 is at the same point on the hockey-stick curve today. Technological breakthroughs in crypto have led to such novel forms of assets and protocols as Ordinal and Runes. Still, a large number of users have no access to them due to barriers between Web2 and Web3. This, according to dappOS, is the most urgent problem to be solved in order to attract more investors and users.

Web3 users, just like those pioneers in the early ‘90s, need to master the commands for every intermediate step. But dappOS’s intent execution network now enables them to confirm their intents by clicking with a mouse. They get to obtain the expected results, even with no understanding of the technical details.

Because of dappOS’s OMS mechanism, service providers can provide whatever value-specific service that can be verified and only need to stake minimal collateral. Since the rigorous verifying process happens after the task execution, users benefit from the increased speed to completion.

Almost as an afterthought, OMS contributes to operational efficiency and economic scalability. By allowing tasks to be executed before being verified and requiring minimal collateral, OMS can speed up the overall process and reduce the capital burden on service providers. This makes the market more efficient as resources are utilized more effectively.

Even so, OMS’s primary function is to improve security. This mechanism reduces the likelihood of malicious behavior, since failing to execute tasks as intended results in a financial penalty for the service providers. The fundamental principle is that aligning financial incentives with performance outcomes naturally boosts compliance and reliability.

Thought leadership

OMS is a new and innovative approach. It is in fact a dappOS innovation and, to the best of the project team’s knowledge, nobody else is using it yet.

This first-mover advantage is not the only market factor in dappOS’s favor. Even after others catch up, OMS will long provide the competitive advantage inherent in its flexibility and the reduced economic burden it places on participants. DappOS will always be able to say it has provided this potential to offer faster and cheaper operations longer than other networks that now operate under more rigid security mechanisms.

When zooming in on the advancement that is OMS, though, it is important to not overlook the broader context. OMS is an improvement on a working model, and that model – intent-centricity – is the major breakthrough.

Seamless integration with any dapp on any chain, improved performance and heightened security are all among the benefits provided by intent-centricity, and they are only enhanced by the OMS mechanism.

There are also strategic growth opportunities for public chains to consider as dappOS-enabled dapps and chains attract new users and higher TVL.

Use cases

Powered by OMS mechanism, dappOS already has several intent task frameworks for developers to integrate, such as unified account, intent assets and real-time dapp interaction.

dappOS's unified account natively supports its intent-execution network, allowing users to smoothly manage and use their assets across different networks. Such technical details as chain-specific issues or gas payments are invisible to users, who can transfer, trade and leverage their assets within any dappOS-supported dapp.

Again, unified accounts bolster dappOS’s original concept of “intent assets,” which are Web3 versions of savings accounts. DappOS’s intent-execution network harmonizes these with a diverse array of blockchain environments. For an example, let’s say dappOS creates an intent asset that functions like a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin. This asset can be used as either USDT or USDC depending on the case, and it automatically generates yields when deposited in the account. This makes it easier for new users to explore the Web3 ecosystem without having to understand the nuances between two stablecoins that purport to have equal value.

DappOS intent-execution network provides an excellent framework for real-time dapp interactions.

One more dappOS use case relates to real-time dapp interaction. Using this network, users can transition seamlessly from the initial state to the final state with a simple signature. Instead of injecting manual processes into such multiple on-chain operations as cross-chain transfers, asset swapping and authorization, dappOS's real-time interaction framework removes these unnecessary intermediary operations, fulfilling users’ intents with a single signature.

Looking to the future

Because advances in modularity have significantly lowered the barrier of launching blockchains lately, thousands or even millions of L1 or L2 solutions will soon emerge in this space. Each one would be a mini-ecosystem, making Web3 even more fragmented and difficult to navigate than it is already.

Meantime, such circle-breaking dapps as Socialfi and Gamefi have opened up a range of new users from the traditional Wev2 world who are eager to streamline their workflow as completely new navigators.

Taken together, these two trends drive the adoption of intent-centric solutions for blockchain and dapp developers for its capability to unify the fragmented ecosystem and prioritize new users. Intent execution networking is becoming the ideal infrastructure to fulfill these intents for billions of onboarding users and hasten mass adoption for intent-centric chains and dapps.
