To bridge the worlds of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and blockchain-based gaming, leading players in each space have joined forces. X2Y2 Prothe NFT market managed by X2Y2, announced its integration with several blockchain “worms” operated by the Oasys gaming platform.
Oasis offers a blockchain specifically designed for hosting crypto video games. With the support of gaming giants like SEGA and Ubisoft, Oasys aims to provide the infrastructure for the next generation of Web3 games using tokenized assets. By partnering with X2Y2 Pro, Oasys brings seasoned NFT trading functionality to its gaming ecosystems.
Initially, X2Y2 Pro went live on three of Oasys’ gaming-focused “Layer 2” blockchains: Geso Verse, DM2 Verse, and HOME Verse. These sidechains are anchored to Oasys’ main “layer 1” blockchain, while providing faster transaction speeds and lower costs for gaming applications.
All three verses are already home to numerous crypto game titles with enthusiastic player bases.

Players can now freely trade tokenized assets in-game, allowing them to own virtual goods and unlock financial value.
For game developers leveraging Oasys, X2Y2 Pro also provides versatile NFT marketplace functionality to enrich token-based incentive programs. As adoption grows, X2Y2 also intends to expand integration with Oasys' Layer 1 core network.
