Oasys Partners with SK Planet to Strengthen South Korean Blockchain Gaming Presence
Japanese blockchain platform Oasys has announced a strategic partnership with SK Planet, a subsidiary of South Korean telecommunications giant SK Telecom, to bolster its presence in the South Korean market. The collaboration is expected to bring “millions of users” to the Oasys gaming ecosystem, leveraging SK Planet’s extensive reach through its OK Cashbag membership rewards platform, which boasts 28 million members and 75,000 affiliated stores.
This partnership marks a significant opportunity for Oasys to tap into South Korea’s booming gaming and blockchain market. By integrating with SK Planet, Oasys gains access to a vast user base, positioning itself for substantial growth in the region. As part of the agreement, SK Planet will become a validator for the Oasys network, allowing users to stake OAS tokens directly to the SK Planet node from their wallets. Additionally, SK Planet’s digital wallet, UPTN Station, will integrate Oasys Hub, further facilitating blockchain adoption.
Oasys Director Daiki Moriyama highlighted the importance of the partnership in advancing blockchain gaming: "This collaboration will significantly enhance our protocol-level initiatives to drive blockchain gaming adoption. Developers will be able to leverage SK Planet’s vast user base through targeted campaigns and promotions via UPTN Station."
Oasys has been actively expanding its influence in the South Korean gaming and blockchain industries. In February 2024, the company partnered with Kakao’s web3 gaming division, Metabora SG, to support its expansion into Japan. Oasys also teamed up with Korean game developer Com2uS to onboard more games onto its platform, further solidifying its role in the gaming sector.
With its Layer 1 hub and Layer 2 networks specifically designed for game development, Oasys counts industry leaders such as Sega, Ubisoft, and Yield Guild Games as validators. The partnership with SK Planet marks a key milestone in Oasys’ efforts to grow its blockchain ecosystem and expand its footprint in one of Asia’s most competitive gaming markets.
