The GameWave Genesis hackathon is an important step in making Web 3.0 gaming mainstream by adopting current trends like interoperability, seamless integration of NFTs and in-game components, and creating autonomous worlds.

By creating an environment where developers find the support to build and deploy on Oasys and its layer two consisting of multiple verses, GameWave Genesis creates a bridge between traditional gaming and the Web 3.0 space.

GameWave Genesis will take place at Ethereum Singapore 2023 and TOKEN2049 – Asia’s premier crypto conference – reaching a broader audience and providing opportunities for more gaming professionals who want to learn about Oasys and its applications in the gaming industry.

They will also have the chance to meet Oasys and verses team members and representatives of global tech and game giants to jointly develop ideas, products and Web 3.0 games.
