Oasys × AWS GameWave Genesis Hackathon

Oasys is excited to introduce the GameWave Genesis Hackathon — an event designed to bolster game development on the Oasys Chain and our connected Verses. It aligns with our mission to accelerate the adoption of Web3 gaming by providing developers with various tools and environments to create the next wave of blockchain games. The summer hackathon will set the stage for an inspiring exploration that is poised to redefine the realm of blockchain gaming with innovative games, tools and apps from August 18th to September 13th.

The hackathon will take place against the backdrop of Ethereum Singapore 2023 and TOKEN2049, Asia’s preeminent crypto conference and the flagship event of Asia Crypto Week, which hosts over 150 side events and afterparties. We are thrilled to host the Oasys GameWave Genesis Hackathon in the epicenter of an environment teeming with inventive thinkers, visionary creators, and tech-forward brands. This unique juncture offers an unparalleled opportunity to amplify our presence within the ever-evolving blockchain landscape along with esteemed sponsors and co-hosts we will reveal soon.

The Oasys GameWave Genesis Hackathon seeks to identify initiatives and projects with high potential and support the further development of the Web3 gaming industry. We look forward to seeing the creativity, skills and vision of all participants and their ground-breaking games that leverage Oasys Chain and the principles of Web3. Ideas with exceptional potential will be rewarded with prizes and support to further their projects and contribute to the evolution of Web3 gaming.

We are honored to host the Oasys GameWave Genesis Hackathon just a month after the Tokyo HACKJAM, which saw over 50 exciting submissions from developers and teams eager to build on Oasys Chain.

The present moment is opportune for traditional game developers and companies looking to enter the rapidly evolving Web3 Gaming space. The Oasys GameWave Genesis Hackathon will serve as a gateway into innovative game models that will appeal to the global community of traditional players. This year’s explosion of blockchain games underscores the immense potential of Web3 gaming, which we are determined to explore and harness.
