The Rise of Oasys

SEGA, Ubisoft, and Com2uS

A series of recent partnerships with Asian gaming and tech giants like Com2uS and Kakao’s blockchain affiliate GroundX in Korea has seen Oasys become the go-to blockchain for web3 gamers in the region.

Oasys is expanding its foothold in strategic gaming markets with the digital asset wallet developed by GroundX as well as increasing its game catalog, onboarding hit titles like Summoners War: Chronicles and The Walking Dead: All-Stars.

Collaborations have been instrumental in amplifying Oasys's influence and reach within the web3 gaming community. A strategic partnership with Ubisoft will see the gaming giant deploy their avant-garde PVP Tactical RPG, “Champions Tactics™ Grimoria Chronicles,” on Oasys Chain.

Before Ubisoft’s venture into the world of blockchain games, SEGA and double jump.tokyo revealed Battle of Three Kingdoms — a blockchain TCG created using SEGA’s iconic arcade game IP, Sangokushi Taisen. Additionally, Bandai Namco’s foray into AI-driven gaming saw the launch of RYUZO, a blend of creativity and innovation facilitated by Oasys in combination with OASYX – the first-ever NFT project minted on Oasys’ Hub-Layer.

Japan’s Largest NFT Marketplace

The SBINFT Market now supports Oasys’ Hub-Layer (L1) and MCH Verse (L2), broadening the scope beyond its initial integration with Oasys’ HOME Verse. This development allows businesses and developers to use Oasys’ blockchain layers to sell NFTs on a reliable marketplace managed by SBINFT Corporation. 

To maintain high standards, only NFTs from authorized artists and affiliated content providers are eligible for listing. This expansion is set to increase engagement from Japanese users, a crucial market for Oasys.

With the extended support to the Hub-Layer and MCH Verse, exclusive content from OASYX, Oasys’ inaugural NFT project, and MCH Verse titles such as "My Crypto Heroes" and "Chain Colosseum Phoenix" can now be listed on SBINFT Market, provided they meet SBINFT Corporation’s stringent screening criteria.
