Ground X Teams Up with Oasys for Digital Wallet and SDK Collaboration

Ground X, the blockchain subsidiary of South Korean conglomerate Kakao, announced on Wednesday that it has entered a strategic partnership with Oasys, a Japanese blockchain gaming platform.

Through this partnership, Ground X and Oasys aim to collaborate on multiple fronts and onboard each other’s respective Web3 ecosystems. Ground X said that it will participate as a partner company in Oasys’ Web3 ecosystem, collaborating with other Japanese blockchain and gaming firms.

SDK sharing

In particular, Ground X also plans to provide a software development kit (SDK) that will enable game developers around the world to embed digital asset wallets into their services by leveraging the convenience and technical capabilities of Kakao’s digital wallet, Klip.

“By providing the embedded SDK through this partnership, this will serve as an opportunity for Ground X to expand globally by attracting more Klip users,” said Kim Tae-geun, Head of the Business Group Division at Ground X.

Dominic Jang, Head of Business Development at Oasys, expressed similar sentiments, stating, “This Klip wallet SDK will allow Oasys’ partners in the gaming industry to operate more smoothly, serving as valuable infrastructure.”

NFT alliance

Oasys will also become a member of GRID — Ground X’s alliance of over 130 local companies aimed at popularizing and fostering non-fungible token (NFT) usage in Korea. Ground X will subsequently share with Oasys the expertise it has gained through success stories of various NFTs on Klip. Through a combination of all these efforts, the company’s goal is to expand the local NFT business ecosystem and increase opportunities for networking and joint marketing between Korean and Japanese companies.

“Ground X is at the forefront of Kakao’s blockchain business and has accumulated a wealth of expertise in the blockchain field. Through our collaboration with them, the Oasys ecosystem gains a strong partner,” Jang emphasized.

In addition, Ground X is participating as a partner company and panel judge in a blockchain hackathon organized by Oasys and XPLA.
