Oasys, a Japanese blockchain focused on gaming, has announced a significant partnership with SK Planet, a subsidiary of South Korea’s major telecommunications company, SK Telecom. This collaboration aims to expand Oasys’s reach into South Korea, which could significantly boost its regional presence.
Oasys said that it foresees this as a way of creating “millions of users” in this gaming world. At present, the consumer base of OK Cashbag, an affiliated platform of SK Planet, has 28 million members and is connected to 75,000 stores, meaning that Oasys will be able to enter the South Korean market segment.
Within this partnership, SK Planet will endorse the validator’s role at Oasys. This means that users will soon be able to stake their OAS tokens directly to SK Planet’s node from their wallet.UPTN Station, SK Planet’s digital wallet, will also officially link with Oasys Hub to enhance the users’ experience related to blockchain.

Daiki Moriyama, the Director of Oasys, noted that this partnership would significantly contribute to the development of blockchain games and ensure further access to SK Planet’s massive audience. The partnership will also involve advertising and marketing measures with the help of UPTN Station to boost awareness and usage of Oasys in South Korea.
This is a strategic direction in Oasys’s integrated plan to develop relations with potential, influential entities within the South Korean market. This year, in March, it collaborated with Kakao’s web3 gaming branch, Metabora SG, to advance to Japan. Oasys has also worked with the Korean game company Com2uS to acquire and integrate more games into the platform.
Oasys currently operates using Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks created for game development and has some significant game development companies like Sega, Ubisoft, and Yield Guild Games among its validators.
