Built with Rust & WebAssembly

The World's First
Decentralized Browser

Oxide is a binary-first browser that fetches and executes WebAssembly modules instead of HTML/JavaScript. Guest apps run in a secure, sandboxed environment with zero access to your system. No tracking. No censorship. Unstoppable.

ABOUT OXIDE

A New Paradigm for the Web

The traditional web is broken — bloated JavaScript bundles, pervasive tracking, and centralized gatekeepers. Oxide replaces it all with pure WebAssembly binaries running in a capability-based sandbox.

Binary-First

No HTML, no JavaScript, no DOM. Oxide fetches and executes compiled WebAssembly modules directly — faster, smaller, and more secure than traditional web pages.

Decentralized

No central authority controls what you can browse. WASM modules can be served from any HTTP endpoint, IPFS, or loaded directly from disk. The web belongs to everyone.

Sandboxed

Zero filesystem access. Zero environment variables. Zero network sockets. Guest modules can only interact with the host through explicitly granted capabilities.

Blazing Fast

Built with Rust and powered by Wasmtime. Near-native execution speed with fuel metering to prevent abuse. No garbage collector, no JIT warmup, just raw performance.

CORE STACK

Engineered for Security

Every component is chosen for maximum security and performance. No compromises.

ROADMAP

The Road Ahead

From foundation to full-featured decentralized platform — here's what's coming to Oxide.

Shipped

Phase 0 — Foundation

Q1 2026

  • Wasmtime sandbox with fuel metering & 256 MB memory cap
  • Canvas rendering, widgets, input polling, navigation
  • HTTP fetch, storage, clipboard, crypto, protobuf codec
  • Dynamic child module loading with isolated memory
Shipped

Phase 1 — Media & Rich Content

Q2 2026

  • Audio API — play, pause, seek, volume, looping, multiple channels, format detection
  • Video API — FFmpeg decode, frame-to-canvas, subtitles (SRT/VTT), Picture-in-Picture
  • Adaptive streaming — HLS variant selection for live & on-demand
  • Media capture — camera, microphone, screen capture with permissions
In Progress

Phase 2 — GPU & Graphics

Q2 2026

  • GPU-backed canvas — GPUI-rasterized draw commands, gradients, transforms, clipping
  • WebGPU-style API — buffers, textures, shaders, pipelines, WGSL
  • 3D rendering — instanced draws shipped; depth/stencil/blending coming next
  • GPU compute — compute shaders live; shared workgroup memory in progress
Shipped

Phase 3 — Real-Time Communication

Q2 2026

  • WebRTC peers — create connections, SDP offer/answer, ICE candidates, STUN/TURN
  • Data channels — reliable & unreliable, ordered/unordered, binary & text
  • Media streams — attach audio/video tracks, VP8/VP9/AV1/Opus, adaptive quality
  • Signaling — built-in relay, custom servers, room-based connections
In Progress

Phase 4 — Tasks, Events & Background Processing

Q2 2026

  • Timers — setTimeout, setInterval, requestAnimationFrame ✓
  • Async I/O — WebSockets ✓, streaming fetch ✓, non-blocking ops ✓ (SSE next)
  • MIDI devices — list, open, send, receive on hardware controllers ✓
  • Event system & workers — custom events, touch, gamepad, drag & drop, background WASM workers
Planned

Phase 5 — Plugin Framework

Q4 2026

  • Plugin API — manifest format, lifecycle hooks, sandboxed execution
  • Extension points — UI, content, protocol, storage, network, themes
  • Plugin registry — discover, install, update, rate plugins
  • Inter-plugin comms — message passing, shared services, dependency resolution
Planned

Phase 6 — Decentralized Infrastructure

Q1 2027

  • P2P content — IPFS integration, DHT discovery, content pinning
  • Decentralized identity — key management, DIDs, wallet sign-in
  • Decentralized storage — encrypted vaults, CRDT sync, user-held keys
  • Name resolution — ENS/SNS domain mapping, DNS-over-HTTPS fallback
$OXIDE Rewards

Phase 7 — Open Source Contributions & Rewards

Q1 2027

Contributors

Token bounties for PRs, code reviews, docs, and translations. Tiered rewards from Explorer to Architect.

Early Adopters

Genesis Badge NFT, Pioneer Airdrop, beta tester rewards, and referral bonuses. Earlier = higher multiplier.

App Builders

Bug bounty program with tiered $OXIDE rewards for critical, high, medium, and low severity vulnerabilities.

Planned

Phase 8 — Developer Experience & Ecosystem

Q2 2027

  • Dev tools — hot-reload, profiler, network inspector, WASM debugger
  • Multi-language SDKs — C/C++, Go, Zig, AssemblyScript, Python
  • App registry — searchable store, versioning, security scanning
  • CLI — oxide new, oxide build, oxide deploy
Planned

Phase 9 — Platform Maturity

Q3 2027

  • Browser polish — multi-tab, bookmarks, downloads, print, accessibility
  • Performance — AOT cache, streaming compilation, frame budgets
  • Security hardening — fuzzing, CSP for WASM, per-origin policies
  • Cross-platform — Android, iOS, and web (Oxide-in-browser) targets
