In a period marked by strategic partnerships and new integrations, Oasys has revealed its Technology Roadmap. This roadmap emphasizes the growth and development of the overall Oasys ecosystem, with a specific focus on “App Data Availability.”

Achieving “App Data Availability,” or the continuity of assets in the gaming industry, aims to ensure that players’ memories and records are permanently secured and preserved, marking a significant shift from the current centralized gaming experience.

Owning Your Gaming Assets

Gaming assets refer to the digital items players acquire within games, such as characters, equipment, scores, and achievements. In traditional web2 games, these assets are often lost if the game is discontinued, leading to significant losses for gamers who have invested time, effort, and money into building their assets.

Blockchain technology offers a solution through digital sovereignty. By leveraging the immutable and permanent nature of the decentralized ledger, Oasys can securely store these assets, giving users more control and safety in engaging with, transacting, using, and interacting with their assets.

Oasys’s Technology Roadmap addresses several challenges faced by existing blockchains, focusing on three core components: the lack of App Data Availability, Layer 2 Interoperability, and Ecosystem Scalability. These components are central to Oasys’s evolution as a unified and scalable ecosystem.

Addressing Core Challenges

App Data Availability: Current Layer 1 blockchains including Ethereum are discarding Layer 2 data, creating a continuity problem for user assets. Oasys’s solution involves mirroring Layer 2 “Gaming Assets” on Layer 1, ensuring their perpetual safety even if Layer 2 data is discarded.

Layer 2 Interoperability: Oasys tackles the challenge of limited data and asset transfers between different Layer 2's by introducing cross-chain bridges, common data formats, and standardized APIs. This fosters seamless interoperability, allowing users to transfer assets between games within the Oasys ecosystem effortlessly.

Ecosystem Scalability: To address the complexities of building unique ecosystems for each blockchain, Oasys collaborates closely with ecosystem partners and provides the Oasys Verse Developer Kit (Oasys VDK). This kit offers pre-set ecosystem components, enabling faster development and deployment for game developers, which in turn accelerates the overall ecosystem scalability.

Technology Roadmap June 2024

Since its inception, Oasys has aimed to address the challenges faced by developers, gamers, and gaming companies transitioning from web2 to web3. The strategy has focused on supporting the Oasys community by providing the necessary infrastructure and tools for success. 

Short Term (Within 1 Year):

• Standardizing Gaming Asset Specifications: Collaborating with ecosystem partners to ensure consistency across different games and platforms.
• Creating Use Cases: Demonstrating successful implementations of standardized gaming assets in live games.
• Provision of Oasys VDK: Offering a comprehensive package to reduce development time and resources, thus promoting faster ecosystem scalability.

Medium Term (2-3 Years):

• Addressing Protocol Layer Issues: Implementing solutions to mirror Layer 2 “Gaming Assets” on Layer 1, building on the foundational work of the short-term roadmap.
• Achieving Interoperability: Developing standardized protocols for seamless asset and data transfers across various Layer 2's.
• Providing Developer Tools: Equipping developers with tools to support the autonomous evolution of Layer 2, further promoting ecosystem scalability.

Three Pillars of Oasys Tech Roadmap

Oasys says it is "committed to enhancing its ecosystem through strategic partnerships with Wallet, DeFi, and blockchain developers to achieve App Data Availability.” In the short term, their efforts will focus on standardizing gaming asset specifications and developing practical use cases. The medium-term goals include addressing protocol layer issues and fostering ecosystem stability and expansion.

Moving Forward

Moving forward, Oasys remains committed to expanding integrations and forming new partnerships with established companies. Additionally, efforts will concentrate on ecosystem stabilization and growth, ensuring that Oasys evolves alongside the dynamic blockchain industry and meets the trends and demands of web3.

The Oasys Technology Roadmap provides a clear blueprint for protecting user assets and building a robust blockchain gaming ecosystem. As Oasys evolves, it remains dedicated to transforming gaming experiences from mere consumption to valuable investments, making digital sovereignty a tangible reality for gamers.
