# Oasys > Gateway for tokenized Asian assets Oasys is a gaming-focused Layer 1 blockchain offering zero user gas fees and a Layer 2 Verse framework for game developers to build and deploy blockchain games. Oasys is a public blockchain built for the gaming industry. Its architecture separates the Hub Layer, an EVM-compatible PoS L1, from Verse Layer L2s where games and dApps run. Game users pay zero gas fees, while Verse Builders cover rollup costs. OAS, the native token, is used for gas fees, staking, governance, and in-ecosystem payments. - Type: Project - Sector: Gaming - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/oasys ## Products - [Oasys Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/oasys): Oasys Explorer is the official block explorer for the Oasys Hub Layer, allowing users to search and verify transactions, blocks, wallet addresses, and smart contracts on the Oasys network. (Block Explorer, Live) - [Oasys Staking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/oasys): Oasys Staking is the official staking portal for the Oasys Hub Layer, where users delegate OAS tokens to validators and earn staking rewards. The portal displays active validators, total staked OAS, current epoch, reward countdown, and an approximate APY of 10%. Users must hold at least 10 million OAS to operate a validator node; delegators can stake any amount to a chosen validator through the My Account interface. (Staking Service, Live) - [Oasys Hub Layer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/oasys): Oasys Hub Layer is the Layer 1 base chain of the Oasys ecosystem, using a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism and EVM compatibility. It functions as the settlement and data availability layer for Verse-Layer L2s, with 15-second block times. End users pay no gas fees for in-game transactions; Verse Builders pay rollup costs to the Hub Layer. The mainnet launched in October 2022 with 21 initial validators including SEGA, Ubisoft, and Bandai Namco Research. (L1, Live, Main Product) ## Assets - [Oasys (OAS)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/oasys): OAS is the native currency of the Oasys blockchain, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 designed for gaming. It is used to pay Hub Layer gas fees, make Verse Builder deposits of at least 1 million OAS, vote in governance proposals, and serve as the primary currency for in-game micropayments across the ecosystem. With a total initial supply of 10 billion tokens and a token generation event in December 2022, OAS anchors the multi-token economy across Oasys Verses, games, and dApps.
