Gaming Blockchain Oasys Helps SoftBank Explore Web3 as Network’s Official Validator

Oasys has been consistently driving the mass adoption of blockchain gaming with ecosystem funds, major collaborations, and valuable contributions. Recently, the gaming blockchain announced the Oasys Ecosystem Fund to focus on early-stage Web3 projects. 

The gaming blockchain was keen on investing in decentralized apps, games, infrastructure protocols, and more. Oasys has also recently launched a grant program that will provide OAS, its native token, to deserving projects. 

In light of Oasys’ recent developments, SoftBank recognized the platform’s mechanism and technological capabilities, leading to a partnership with them. 

Keiichi Makizono, Senior Vice President and CIO of SoftBank, said,

 “We are very excited about the Oasys blockchain’s flexible, user-centric architecture, which meets the needs of both users and IP content owners, and look forward to working with Oasys to promote Web3’s social implementation and resolve social issues.”

The partnership between Oasys and SoftBank will extend beyond the Japanese company’s role as a validator into the development of joint collaborative blockchain-based projects in the future. 

Oasys has shared that it will introduce three more companies alongside SoftBank in the next batch of validators. However, the gaming blockchain clarified the platform is looking to further “decentralize” the network by enabling public participation in the future. 

Oasys proposes to launch a council and remove the limit on validators. 

Daiki Moriyama, Director of Oasys, added,

 “We are honoured that SoftBank shares our vision for Oasys and has chosen us as a business partner for Web3. With SoftBank coming onboard as a validator, Oasys will not only expand the stability and ecosystem of the Oasys chain, but also aim to strengthen business collaboration with Oasys. We look forward to working with SoftBank to develop the blockchain gaming industry by fostering relationships and synergies with its group companies and partners.”
