This announcement marks a major milestone in the 2024 Dragon Update, which focuses on improving interoperability across the gaming ecosystem. The integration of Oasys’ layer-2 HOME Verse with LayerZero is just the beginning, with plans to expand to the L1 Hub-Layer and other verses.
Oasys will also work closely with Ubisoft, whose Champions Tactics™: Grimoria Chronicles will be the integration’s launch partner when it debuts on Oasys.
Daiki Moriyama, director of Oasys, is enthusiastic about the importance of the collaboration for the entire gaming segment, for players, entrepreneurs and investors:
Our partnership with LayerZero is a game-changer for the blockchain gaming community. Providing a unique Web3 gaming experience is essential to increasing player base, and improving the interoperability of in-game assets is certainly one of our goals.
Oasys will leverage LayerZero’s interoperability technology, including securely enhancing the blockchain gaming experience for gamers and NFT holders across all chains.
More blockchains are being integrated by Oasys
Bryan Pellegrino, co-founder and CEO of LayerZero Labs, emphasizes that interoperability between networks will enhance the experience of all actors within Oasys ecosystems:
Adding an Endpoint to Oasys by LayerZero is a big step forward when it comes to the interoperability of in-game assets. LayerZero is focused on connecting communities and empowering players by making the games they love more accessible and fun across networks.
LayerZero facilitates the transfer of arbitrary data between chains in a permissionless, censorship-resistant, and immutable manner. The Omnichain Non-Fungible Token (ONFT) standard revolutionizes the minting and transferring of NFTs across all LayerZero-supported blockchains, eliminating the need for traditional methods such as packing, middle-chaining, and centralized bridges.
The widespread adoption of the ONFT standard will significantly impact the future of gaming in Web3 by enabling smooth NFT transfers between different networks. LayerZero also enables the movement of fungible tokens via the Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard.
