Oasys is taking the metaverse to the next level

Oasys

Meet Singapore-based Oasys. It has just launched a gaming-focused blockchain, and we hear it might truly be revolutionary. 🤯

  • Its initial launch includes partnerships with 21 of the top gaming and web3 companies, including Yield Guild Games.

Cross-platform. First off, it looks to connect gamers across the metaverse, allowing them to bring in-game items across games and platforms if the game is part of the Oasys Ecosystem.

  • Right now, metaverses like those in Axie Infinity are like isolated countries. You can't bring your Axies to other games or transact with players in other games.
  • With Oasys, these "countries"/metaverses will now be able to trade with each other, and the same people can "cross borders" and bring their items (like Axies, game skins and other NFTs) along with them.

😎 But wait, there's more

Dream team. Founding team members include top gaming and blockchain execs Gabby Dizon (Yield Guild Games), Shuji Utsumi (Sega), Hajime Nakatani (Bandai Namco), Hironobu Ueno (Double Jump Tokyo/MyCryptHeroes) and Hironao Kunimitsu (Gumi/Thirdverse).

Great for gamers, great for developers. Ethereum, like its high cost for "gas fees" (aka, your transaction costs when using Ethereum). Plus, it sucks for users and game developers. (I mean, who likes losing $$$ on fees?)

  • Oasys offers zero gas fees for users. Because it's eco-friendly and uses less energy than Ethereum, it has low gas fees for developers.
  • It's also offering fast transactions, which gives it another +1 against Ethereum.

💡 Ok, but how?

For our curious and technical friends out there, this is made possible by its "trifecta approach." It combines blockchain solutions, the gaming community and a scalable network powered by AAA (aka, top-tier blockbuster) developers. These include:

👀 The future

Oasys' solutions are built to make scaling blockchain gaming possible. Through building its ecosystem of connected metaverses, play-to-earn games may never be the same again. It's only just the beginning!
