Oasys . project overview
Oasys is known as one of the leading blockchains dedicated to gaming projects. Oasys with proof-of-stake (PoS) saves power and is environmentally friendly. Besides, Oasys's unique 2-layer structure including Layer 1 Hub-Layer and Layer 2 Verse-Layer also makes a difference for this blockchain.
From the perspective of the project development team, a suitable blockchain for games needs to meet the following criteria: Zero gas fees, fast transaction speed, high data availability, and stable network.
The Oasys team believes that the current blockchain platforms on the market do not really meet the above conditions, do not support traditional game projects as well as blockchain game projects, which are developed in the best way. So they decided to build a new blockchain according to the Oasys architecture and dedicated to game projects.
How does Oasys work?
Oasys includes a highly scalable Layer-1 called Hub-Layer and Layer-2 called Verse-Layer. There can be multiple Verse-Layer directly associated with the Hub-Layer. Specifically, how the two layers work is shown in the diagram below:
Hub-Layer
Hub-Layer, the public blockchain in Oasys is EVM-compatible. In theory, Verse-Layer is responsible for executing applications to create a Hub-Layer blockchain network that can only be used in certain cases, such as deploying batches of transactions, managing FT/NFT, bridge information management… In rare cases, certain contracts may be approved for deployment on Hub-Layer through governance approval. Since these contracts are under government supervision, the stability of the blockchain is not affected.
Advantages of Hub-Layer:
- High Network Stability: Hub-Layer is highly resilient to work with thousands of Verse-Layer connected, while reducing the risk of network failure due to problems with nodes.
- High Scalability: Transactions sent from Verse Layer to Hub-Layer will use Optimistic Rollups technology to reduce the number of transactions on Hub-Layer. This allows for scalability that does not depend on the proliferation of Verse-Layer transactions.
- High Data Availability: Verse-Layer transaction data is reflected on Hub-Layer. Therefore, any event in the Verse-Layer is verifiable.
- Eco-Friendly: Oasys is an eco-friendly blockchain that consumes no energy due to the PoS consensus mechanism, so gas fees for developers will be minimal.
Verse-Layer
Oasys builds Verse-Layer based on Optimistic Rollups technology. Oasys Optimistic Rollups is established through two factors:
- Verse Builder operates Verse-Layer.
- Fraud-proof by designated validators.
Verse Builder can specify one or more validators when building Verse, these validators will receive incentives as a third party.
Oasys removes the 7-day moderation period from Optimistic Rollups and allows transactions to be approved instantly like on Web2. This transaction speed will be faster than any other blockchain and Layer-2.
Additionally, since all data on Oasys is stored in the Hub-Layer, high data availability is achieved, and even if the Verse-Layer is lost, it can still be fully recovered.
Roadmap
Oasys officially went to mainnet on October 25, 2022. The Oasys mainnet will be rolled out in three distinct phases, designed to stabilize, integrate, and enhance the overall ecosystem. Specifically, the mainnet process is as follows:
- Phase 1: 21 validator will start working on nodes, ensuring Layer-1 performance.
- Phase 2: Integrate Layer-2 into the existing framework.
- Phase 3: Integrating essential components of the Oasys ecosystem to deliver gaming performance and enhanced user experience.
Daiki Moriyama, Director of Oasys, said: “The blockchain gaming ecosystem has grown rapidly over the past few years, showing the growing value that projects like Oasys bring to the industry as a whole. The mainnet launch is an important step in creating a separate blockchain for video games. With full functionality, Oasys hopes to change the future of gaming and deliver tremendous value to gamers and game developers.” Currently, the team has not revealed too much about the project's plans and intentions in the near future, but as a project with many reputable validators along with a powerful backer, the potential of the project is which we cannot deny.

Token Release Schedule
Token Use Cases
- Use as gas fee: OAS is used to pay gas fees when performing transactions such as transferring tokens from Verse-Layer to Hub-Layer or vice versa, running smart contracts on Hub-Layer.
- Decentralized Governance: Users can submit OAS to the protocol to build a Verse Layer. Just stake more than 1 million OAS tokens, users will be entitled to build a Verse Layer.
- Participate in Voting: The more OAS you own, the more voting power your project governance decisions have.
- Staking : One of the next uses of OAS tokens is staking to receive rewards. When users stake over 10 million OAS, they can become validators.
- Transaction Payments : OAS is used to settle small transactions for games built on the Oasys blockchain.
Projects in the ecosystem
Games built on Oasys are also on the rise, from role-playing games, action games, to countless other types of games. Some outstanding games include: Trouble Punk, Sheep Farm, Reign of Terror, SkyArk Chronicle… And not to mention the game using SEGA's IP, Sangokushi Taisen. This year, the Oasys team said there will be at least 10 more titles that will soon be released on Oasys.
