Oasys Releases Technical Roadmap Aiming to Enhance the Chain Game Ecosystem

As a Japanese gaming public chain focused on bringing traditional games into the Web3 space, Oasys has released its latest technical roadmap on the occasion of its second anniversary. This roadmap emphasizes addressing the technical challenges and user pain points currently faced by blockchain games and proposes corresponding solutions.

Oasys's technical roadmap revolves around three core directions: application data availability, layer two interoperability, and ecosystem scalability. These three directions aim to address key technical issues in the development of blockchain games, providing a better experience for game developers and players.

Technical Challenges Faced by Blockchain Games

Despite the rapid development of blockchain games in recent years, there are still some technical shortcomings that need to be addressed. Oasys has put forward targeted solutions by updating its technical roadmap.

Continuity of Game Assets

In traditional Web2 games, the game assets that players work hard to obtain may disappear when the game is shut down. Blockchain technology offers a potential solution to this problem, but the rise of modular architecture has also brought new challenges. Oasys has proposed an innovative approach by mirroring game assets from the layer two network to the layer one network, ensuring the permanent protection of user assets.

Interoperability of Layer 2 Networks

The second layer network of Oasys is called Verse Layer, and each Verse is an independent "small universe" that allows for full customization of games. However, interoperability between different second layer networks has always been a challenge. To address this, Oasys plans to introduce cross-chain bridges, using a universal data format and standardizing APIs to achieve seamless interoperability between different second layer networks.

scalability of the ecosystem

Building and maintaining a prosperous ecosystem is a major challenge faced by public chains. Oasys closely collaborates with ecosystem partners to provide them with the necessary tools and resources to support ecosystem construction and lower technical barriers. The Hub Layer of Oasys's layer one network offers comprehensive tools and support for game developers, while the Oasys Verse Development Kit (VDK) allows businesses to quickly deploy high-quality layer two networks.

Short-term and Medium-term Planning of the Technical Roadmap

Oasys's technical roadmap is divided into two phases: short-term (within 1 year) and mid-term (2-3 years), to ensure that its development can keep pace with the rapid changes in the Web3 market.

Short-term planning (within 1 year)

• Standardized Game Asset Specifications
• Create practical use cases to demonstrate the application of standardized game asset specifications.
• Provide Oasys Verse Development Kit (VDK) to support rapid deployment of Layer 2 networks.

Mid-term plan (2-3 years)

• Solve protocol-level issues and achieve the mirroring of layer two network assets to layer one network.
• Develop standardized protocols to ensure interoperability between different Layer 2 networks.
• Provide developer tools that align with the vision of Oasys to promote the scalability of the ecosystem.

Latest Developments

Oasys has made significant progress in short-term planning. Recently, several practical use cases have gone live, including:

• Launched L2 chain XPLA Verse, supporting the well-known games of Com2uS Group on-chain.
• The blockchain game "Captain Tsubasa -RIVALS-" based on "Captain Tsubasa" is officially launched.
• Collaborating with Japan's SBI Group to expand the Japanese crypto gaming and NFT market.
• Collaborating with Kakao's Web3 gaming division Metabora SG to support its entry into the Japanese market.

Through these initiatives, Oasys not only demonstrates its technological innovation capabilities in the blockchain gaming sector but also showcases its determination to collaborate with industry giants to jointly promote the development of blockchain games. With the gradual implementation of the technical roadmap, Oasys is steadily advancing towards its vision of establishing global standards for blockchain games, creating real value for players and developers while bringing new experiences and opportunities to the gaming industry.
