Looking ahead to the construction of PlayMining’s “DEP Verse” (tentative name) Layer 2 blockchain on Oasys, the two companies have begun collaborating in various ways to expand their ecosystem.

SINGAPORE, June 26, 2023 — Digital Entertainment Asset Pte. Ltd. (DEA), a Singapore-based global GameFi company and owner of the PlayMining gaming platform, has announced its partnership with Oasys Pte. Ltd., a Japanese game-specialized blockchain.

Under this partnership, DEA will collaborate with Oasys in various ways, with the aim of deploying content that solves social issues through games on “DEP Verse” (tentative name), a Layer2 blockchain which PlayMining will deploy on Oasys. Further details about this partnership and PlayMining’s DEP Verse project will be announced at an Oasys special event to be held at Kyoto’s Nijo Castle on June 28.

[Background of the Partnership]
DEA’s PlayMining GameFi platform was launched in May 2020 and now has more than 2.7 million users in over 100 countries around the world as of June, 2023. DEAPcoin ($DEP) is the first Play-to-Earn (P2E) token to be circulated in Japan, and PlayMining is the world’s first P2E token economy, leading the world’s GameFi industry.

Oasys is a blockchain project specialized for games. The initial validators (chain operators) are a group of 25 major game companies such as Bandai Namco Research Institute as well as other Web3 companies. Its consensus algorithm adopts the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus method, which is known to be environmentally friendly.

The two companies are in agreement on the direction of making blockchain games a commonplace activity for everyone, and will collaborate towards the mass adoption of blockchain games through the expansion of the Oasys ecosystem.

[Future Development]
DEA and Oasys plan to collaborate in various ways by leveraging the strengths and assets of both companies. Specifically, DEA will build the PlayMining “DEP Verse” (tentative name) Layer2 blockchain on Oasys, provide a range of content that adheres to the concept of “solving social problems through games”, and promote the expansion of the Oasys ecosystem through the following initiatives:

Joint consideration of new game titles provided through Oasys
Consulting and support for other projects such as consideration and preparation for game launch on Oasys by the PlayMining team
Joint marketing and PR to promote the mass adoption of blockchain games

■Comment from Oasys Director Daiki Moriyama

The “Web3 x Social Good” aim of DEP Verse (tentative name) expands the possibilities of gaming, and we look forward to DEA’s initiatives and the content that will be deployed on DEP Verse in the future. As a Japanese blockchain gaming project, we look forward to being able to energize the industry from Japan.

■Comment from DEA Founder & Co-CEO Kozo Yamada

I was moved by the strong words of Mr. Matsubara, the representative of Oasys, when he said, “We will lead the world from Japan by utilizing blockchain and NFTs to update the world of GameFi!” This is what led to the announcement of this partnership. PlayMining has a vision to update the meaning of the word “game” through the use of Web3. Games are no longer just a personal experience, but a powerful tool that can save the world. This is the beginning of our efforts to spread the concepts of “Web3 Entertainment x ESG (SDGs)” and “GameFi-for-Good” to the world with Oasys Chain. Please look forward to it!
