I am in charge of and responsible for everything related to games on Oasys including game supply. content strategy Game funding Call it everything related to the game!
I had an investment background before I switched to Oasys.”
What is Oasys project about?
“Come on, I’ll tell you later!
Oasys has a structure made up of L1 (“Hub-Layer”) and L2 (“Verse-Layers”).
This structure allows us to distribute game transactions. that are often in large quantities Our Verse-Layers are created and operated by game companies that will deploy their own games and/or third party games developed by other game companies.
Oasys aims to be THE BLOCKCHAIN for broad adoption. which is our ultimate goal And we have our core strategic focus on delivering the next generation of blockchain games. Including the best infrastructure and UX for the best gaming experience.
Not to mention GAS fees for players.
And we’re building a Global Gaming Alliance ecosystem backed by strong gaming giants like Square Enix, SEGA, Bandai Namco, Ubisoft, Netmarble, and more! That’s right, our project will be very unique!”
Can you tell us more about our partners at Oasys?
“It must be said that we cannot change this huge blockchain gaming industry without good partners.
However, we are fortunate to work with many great partners such as
Main developer:
double jump tokyo, a Japanese game developer that has been building blockchain games since 2018, and their main games “”My Crypto Heroes” and “Brave Frontier Heroes”” rank among the top DAU, NFT and Ethereum (ETH) transaction volumes. ) )

Investors in the private sale round:

Commu Ecosystem Partners:
Consensys (Metamask), TofuNFT, Carv, etc.
I see that Oasys’ mainnet has just been released recently. Tell me more about the release. Including plans for the future?
“Oasys Mainnet will be implemented in three steps. which is designed to maintain stability and improve the ecosystem as a whole
Oasys launches phase one on October 25.
As part of the first phase, we have 21 Oasys Validators initializing the node to ensure that Oasys Layer 1 is running stably.
The second phase release is expected after November 8th, where we will begin integrating Oasys L2’s Verse-Layers on top of the existing framework.
After both Hub-Layer and Verse-Layer are stabilized, the third and final phase release will begin on November 22nd and aims to integrate key components of the Oasys ecosystem for gaming performance and user experience. For example, Oasys-Hub, the user portal interface.
How does Oasys support the games in the ecosystem?
There are actually a number of ways we can support games and game developers who want to build on Oasys.
in finance We also have funding projects, of course, and we have a network of investors where we can refer investors to projects. and other measures which we are working on which will be revealed soon.
according to the structure of various chains We will have a layer 2 builder which we call the verse builder. They serve to share knowledge and know-how for web2 game companies whether they are web2 to web3 or not. We are also welcome. verse builder that is ready to go into our ecosystem and start a platform business using excellent developer tools and knowledge to help game companies Make changes via web3 as well.
when it comes to marketing We believe marketing can be one of the biggest sponsorships. We as a Layer 1 network can do the same. We support many game companies from various angles and are creative to support marketing and recruiting users to play their games.
How does the project look at Oasys and the future of web3 games?
As I mentioned earlier Our ultimate goal is to drive the adoption of blockchain games. in achieving that goal We believe there are two key elements that we need to focus our efforts on, one is better UX and the other is better content.
When it comes to better UX, we have eliminated GAS fees for all users who want to play games on OASYS. We believe fees will increase the GAS barrier for new users of blockchain games who want to try the game. Think about it, you will. A certain number of tokens are required every time the game is played. And after playing for a while, the GAS fee will be gone. Imagine you have to follow the steps every time: link the money to the exchange, buy tokens, and send it to your metamask or other wallet. Then you have to come back to the game. You see, it’s very clear that this UX is really bad. When it comes to gaming experience Gamers just want to play games. They don’t want to care that they want to lose their GAS every time they play the game. So we canceled all that process and made the GAS fee free to reduce that barrier. It is important to note that it is not an issue of high or low GAS values, but of separate GAS fees.
When it comes to better content as a chain I think it’s the most important element for us to focus on. We are launching a new era of high quality blockchain games. It will be a very different set of games that we have experienced in the previous blockchain games.
The team works day and night to meet all gaming companies from all over the world. The game studios we partner with those major game companies are game studios that know how to make good games. We are preparing them. And starting their game, Oasys wants to maintain their lead in this great web3 transformation!”
What privileges do HODLERs in the Oasys community get?
$OAS is the main currency in the Oasys ecosystem, so users will be able to use the tokens while they are in the ecosystem and enjoy games on Oasys!
Another benefit is our participation in governance.
Oasys has successfully hired major gaming companies such as Square Enix, SEGA, Bandai Namco, Ubisoft, Netmarble and many others, and they hold OAS tokens.
This means that Oasys’ regulatory decisions set not only rules for Oasys but also the entire Web3 gaming industry, as Oasys’ regulatory decisions are quite representative of the entire gaming industry.
This is a great incentive for other gaming companies. To hold OAS tokens to participate in Oasys’ governance, it could also mean setting the next Web3 industry standards such as data formats, including NFTs.
Being part of the history of web3 games can mean more than just governance. And it’s a great incentive for game companies and the gaming community to get involved!”
A bear market is now causing many projects to halt. How has the project dealt with the current bear market problem?
“Actually, a bear market is the perfect time to differentiate between the many projects happening today. because in the bear market Not every project will survive. There is also a more rigorous assessment of various products.
Oasys has received the necessary funding. (as I said before) for six years of operation. Therefore, we have expanded our partnerships with several Tier 1 partners. It is important to note that we receive a large amount of capital under bear market conditions. So it means that our investors trust in our products and our team sits by itself.
Once we have listed our tokens. We also have an initial plan to manage the volume of tokens in circulation well to measure market demand and allow gas to be issued based on actual market demand. in the hope that our token prices will be protected under Severe market conditions
We intend to keep our initial turnover volume small for two reasons.
Token prices are more sensitive than bear markets. Additionally, we plan to increase our sales as the number of games released on the Oasys network increases.
in the beginning We plan to release 10 game titles by the end of December.
A game by a mainstream game developer that everyone (including us) will launch around April.”
Is Oasys a global project or a national project? and at present Which market will the project focus on building and growing to gain customers, users and partners?
“I must say that we are a global project. And because we are the focus of games and chains that are tailored for gamers. It is likely that we will have more users as well. The majority of the population is more interested in the game, especially in countries such as Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, Latin America, North America and sometimes Africa. Our community is quite international.
The way we see user growth should come with broad adoption.
While we all need a lot of acceptance But it’s also true that blockchain environments in general still have bad UX, as everyone should know. Therefore, the current user base of blockchain and blockchain games is our initial goal.
Another goal is to be a platform for great games that non-crypto gamers want to play when they want to play them. They will expect a gaming experience where nothing will bother them and interfere with a smooth gaming experience. This is why we are creating an ecosystem that can provide them with such an environment. which in the end will be the real beginning of wide acceptance.”
