The OASIS API & Karma System
We believe that the OASIS API & Karama System should be baked into the core of the new internet (Web 3.0) that we are co-creating and will allow Everything to talk to Everything else and will act as the worlds universal API/protocol. At the center of this is the central profile/avatar where the user’s data will be stored. Part of this data will include the karma they have earnt in Our World as well as the karma they have earnt in any of the inter-connected satellite apps/games that use the OASIS API.
This will increase peoples awareness of the good or bad karma they are collecting and will help them become more conscious of their moment by moment actions. This will help them strive to become a better person and to reach their full potential doing as much good as they can in the world. This will help manifest a better world for us all that much faster, when everyone is doing all they can to help co-create it.
Our World is much more than just a free open world game where you can build and create anything you can imagine and at the same time be immersed in an epic storyline. it is an entirely new ecosystem/asset store/internet, it is the future way we will be interacting with each other and the world through the use of technology. Smaller satellite apps/game will plug into it and share your central profile/avatar where you gain karma for doing good deeds such as helping your local communities, etc and lose karma for being selfish and not helping others since it mirrors the real world where you have free will. The karma unlocks certain abilities, special powers & items you can purchase in the game as well as quests and new areas to explore.
The karma will be grouped into the following categories:
| Karma Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Our World | Earnt by completing quests within Our Word itself. |
| Self Help/Improvement | Earnt by helping people in Our World or in any other app/game/website. This could include counselling, healing, giving advice on a social network, donating, etc |
| Helping People | Earnt by helping people in Our World or in any other app/game/website. This could include counselling, healing, giving advice on a social network, donating, etc |
| Helping The Environment | Earnt by helping the environment such as planting a tree, saving the rain forest, campaigning to save your local park, picking up litter, cleaning up the ocean, etc |
| Helping Animals | Earnt by helping animals such as donating to a animal shelter or charity. |
| Contributing Towards A Good Cause - Contributor | Writing content for any good cause. This could also creating audio (podcast,etc) or video (YouTube,etc) |
| Contributing Towards A Good Cause - Sharer | Sharing a good cause (including any content such as blogs, video etc). |
| Contributing Towards A Good Cause - Administrator | Doing admin work for a good cause. If it is non-paid then you earn even more karma. |
| Contributing Towards A Good Cause - Creator/Organiser | Organising/creating a good cause (this will give you more karma than the other good cause categories) |
| Contributing Towards A Good Cause - Funder | Donate to a good cause/charity. |
| Contributing Towards A Good Cause - Speaker | Do public speaking for a good cause. |
| Contributing Towards A Good Cause - Peaceful Protester/Activist | Attending a peaceful protest to being about positive change in the world. |
| Other | Anything else not covered above. |
The list above is subject to change with more categories likely to be added later as the system evolves and matures…
Sometimes you may earn karma in multiple categories for one action such as by donating to a animal shelter you will earn karma for both Helping Animals and for Contributing Towards A Good Cause - Funder.
You will be able to see how the karma you have earnt is broken down into these categories on the users profile/avatar. Various quests, special powers, abilities, items, locations, etc will unlock once you have reached a certain minimum karma level. If you fall below that level by losing karma then they will become locked again. The minimum karma level would normally be your total karma level but it could also be a combination of the various karma categories above. For example to enter a special mystic temple in Our World you may need a total karma level of 1000, karma level of 500 in Self Help/Improvement & 500 karma level for Our World. You could need a karma level of 300 for Helping Animals to access a secret animal sanctuary within Our World.
You will also be able to view the karma levels of other users, this can help you reach out to them to help improve their karma in categories they are lacking in by inviting them on a Quest with you or your group.
Your Karma Level Effects Your Real Life Too!
Your karma level effects your real life too, for example you may be entitled to free upgrades at shows, flights, events, hotels, etc. You may also be entitled to special discounts in shops, etc and if you have enough karma you can get free holidays, etc too. The higher your karma the more society will reward you. The list is endless of what is possible. We envision that eventually this will be deeply integrated into all of society. This reflects how the Universe actually works and is part of the real-time simulation aspect of Our World.
Our World Is The XR/IR Unified Interface To The Holochain Ecosystem
Our World is like a XR/IR Unified Interface into all of these hApps (this is the Operating System part of it), it’s a bit like the XR UI front-end to Holochain where you can view and launch any apps from inside it but they integrate much more deeper than that through the OASIS API/Profile/Avatar/Karma system where they all share the central avatar/profile and can all add/subtract the profiles/avatars karma.
Gain Karma When You Earn HoloFuel For Sharing Your Nodes Resources To Power Our World
You can also gain karma for sharing your node’s resources such as CPU, memory, bandwidth, etc
Open Karma Committee/Community Concensors
There will be a Open Karma Committer who will decide the algorithms for karma allocation through concensors with the community. The community can vote for any proposals the committee publish and only ones which receive enough votes will be made “OASIS Law”. The community can also vote in representatives to sit on the committee so it is as open and democratic as possible.
**We wish to empower the community to feel into their own hearts for what is right for them. We want them to own the system. **
Satellite Apps/Games/Websites (Consumers)
As already mentioned, many satellite apps/games/websites will plug into Our World using the OASIS API. They can choose to just share the central avatar/profile and the karma system or they can choose to also define the 2D Sprite or 3D object that will appear in Our World at the geo-location specified through the API. This will be the visual representation of the app/game/website/organisation and when the player either walks into or interacts with (click, touch, etc) it will display info and meta data passed through the API. The player can then choose to launch the app/game/website from within Our World.

The Universal API To Connect Everything To Everything (No More Silos/Walled Gardens)
The OASIS API is a global universal API that aims to connect everything to everything to eliminate walled gardens/silos. There are a number of open protocols/platforms/networks that the OASIS API will support. The majority of these are aimed at building a truly decentralised distributed internet (Web 3.0) and this is also the aim of the OASIS API.
Protocols/Platforms/Networks Supported (Providers)
The OASIS API aims to support as many platforms/networks/protocols as possible so the Karma System can be deeply integrated across the web in every application, device, etc.
Below is a list of the protocols/networks/platforms that the OASIS API will support (expect this list to grow in time):
| Protocol/Platform/Network | Description | Support Implemented |
|---|---|---|
| CEPTR Protocol For Pluggable Protocols | Complete interoperability: No more silos and brittle APIs. Self-Describing protocols and a universal parsing system allows anything to talk to anything. This is where the OASIS API is a stepping stone to get to this point by providing backwards compatibility with what is already out there. | Coming soon… |
| HSTP (Hyper Spacial Transport Protocol) | The new protocol for the new Spacial Web (Web 3.0) | Coming Soon… |
| WebFinger | WebFinger is used to discover information about people or other entities on the Internet that are identified by a URI using standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) methods over a secure transport. A WebFinger resource returns a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object describing the entity that is queried. The JSON object is referred to as the JSON Resource Descriptor (JRD). | Coming Soon… |
| ActivityPub | ActivityPub is an open, decentralized social networking protocol based on Pump.io’s ActivityPump protocol. It provides a client/server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server-to-server API for delivering notifications and content | Coming Soon… |
| XMPP | Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol is an open XML technology for real-time communication, which powers a wide range of applications including instant messaging, presence and collaboration. | Coming Soon… |
| SOLID | Inventor of the Internet, Sir Tim Berners-Lee new protocol for Web 3.0 to give users control of their data as well as remove silos/walled gardens using Pods & Linked Data. | Coming Soon… |
| Holochain | Leading the way for the new decentralised distributed internet | Yes |
| Ethereum | One of the leading Blockchain implementations that is very popular. | Coming Soon… |
| Fediverse | It is a common name for federated social networks running on free open software on a myriad of servers across the world. Historically, this term has included only micro-blogging platforms supporting a set of protocols called OStatus. This didn’t do justice to a large number of projects that federate, share same values and are reasonably popular. With the appearance and wide adoption of a new standard protocol called ActivityPub it makes no sense to further divide the federated world into “OStatus” and “non-OStatus” projects. This guide unites all interoperable federated networks under one term “Fediverse”. | Coming Soon… |
| Gab | Distributed social network promoting free speech | Coming Soon… |
| Mastodon | Distributed twitter style network of micro blogging servers using the Fediverse. | Coming Soon… |
| Diaspora | Another distributed social network | Coming Soon… |
More coming soon…
If you know of any other open protocols/platforms/networks that you feel are part of the new internet (Web 3.0) we are all co-creating then please do get in touch below and let us know, thank you!
Calling The OASIS API
The OASIS API can be called using a number of ways:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GraphQL/Apollo | This will be the main way of calling the API since it provides a really nice JSON formatted syntax to make calls across the various OASIS Providers. This will be done over a web socket. |
| REST API | This will be the fall back way to call the API if for whatever reason the GraphQL option is not available. |
| Embedded DLL | If the client is .NET or Unity (or anything that supports importing a .NET compilled DLL) then they can make calls directly though the OASIS Interfaces or the various Managers in the OASIS API Core. |
OASIS Open Standards
The OASIS API is all about pushing the Open Source & Open Community standards. As almost a sign we were on the right path we recently discovered this site:
They are all about pushing the same agenda except we are actually implementing a API to achieve our shared goals of getting everything to talk to everything else. It’s very interesting we both chose the name OASIS, a coincidence or not? 
We are obviously in the process of reaching out to them to see how we can work together…
OASIS API Redundancy (Can Store Copies Of Your Data On Any Decentralised Network/Platform You Choose)
The OASIS API has built in redundancy in that you can choose to store copies of your data on any decentralised network/platform. When calling the OASIS API you can specify which network/platform you wish to use (the ones available will be dependent on whether a Provider has yet been implemented for it, so far only Holochain is supported.) The default provider will be Holochain since the long term goal of the OASIS API is to get people to slowly migrate across to Holochain.
The OASIS API Enables You To Earn Karma Anywhere
Our World will automatically support all of the platforms/networks/protocols listed above so your profile/avatar/karma will be available to any apps that use their platforms/networks/protocols. This will also make it easier to earn karma in a wider range of apps by supporting as many platforms/networks/protocols as possible.
User Has FULL Control Of Their Data
Any other OAPP (that uses the OASIS API) can also choose to share your profile/avatar/karma with any of the supported platforms/networks/protocols. The user will have fully access and control of where their data can be stored/shared along with granular permissions such as which apps/sites/users/groups/roles/networks/platforms can see what.
