In an innovative move, Arbitrum Foundation and Japanese gaming blockchain Oasys have joined forces to bring L2 scaling solution Arbitrum Orbit beyond Ethereum.
As part of the partnership, Oasys will integrate the L2 and L3 Ethereum tech stack into its infrastructure, the first time Arbitrum Orbit has gone beyond Ethereum in terms of gaming specific chains.
Further, Oasys will support new L2 chains, which it calls verses, on its L1 blockchain using Arbitrum Orbit, hoping this will serve as a bridge to the ever growing Arbitrum game ecosystem.
Arbitrum Orbit is also used by the likes of Proof of Play and Xai for their Ethereum-based L3 blockchains.
Recently unveiled Uprising Verse from new outfit Uprising Labs will be the first L2 to integrate the solution, through which it will launch naval battle royale title Maelstrom. Thanks to the collaboration between Oasys, Arbitrum, and web3 scaling tech provider AltLayer, Oasys says any game developer will now find it both faster and easier to deploy Arbitrum Orbit onto Oasys.
Oasys director or technology Ryo Manzoku, commented, ”We are honoured that the Aribtrum Foundation is collaborating with Oasys as part of their strategy to expand Arbitrum Orbit beyond Ethereum. By tapping into the vast potential of the Arbitrum ecosystem through Uprising Verse, we can grow and enhance the Oasys blockchain.”
Arbitrum Foundation head of partnerships Nina Rong, said, “It is fantastic to see Oasys choose Orbit as the gaming stack of choice going forward, further entrenching Arbitrum as the leading stack for web3 gaming. The Oasys team has an amazing foothold in the Asia gaming sector which aligns with our strategic goals of deepening adoption of the Arbitrum technology in the regional home of gaming.”
