A Japanese Multinational conglomerate corporation, Softbank, starts contributing to the gaming industry development. Softbank has partnered with Oasys to explore the broad integration of Web3 technologies.Â
As per the release, conglomerate Softbank will officially become a validator of Oasys network to deep dive into the integration of web3 technologies around the world.
Among the 21 earlier validators for Oasys includes Bandai Namco Research, SEGA, Square Enix, Netmarble, and 17 different firms. Meanwhile, four additional organizations including Softbank will participate in this gaming network in the upcoming group of validators, increasing the final sum to 25.
Through this partnership, both firms will explore potential collaboration, including the development of blockchain-based services, in the future.
Oasys plans to further decentralize the network by enabling public participation through a council and removing the limit on the number of validator slots as long as the necessary requirements are being met.
Oasys released its mainnet in December, with more than a dozen playable games accessible on its proof-of-stake blockchain network. The startup revealed ambitions to list on the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Bitbank on January 31, 2023.
