The First Multichain Native-Yield Gaming Blockchain
Uprising’s platform is the first multichain, native-yield gaming blockchain, using a combination of Optimism's OP stack and Avail’s new DA layer to provide economical gas fees. The multichain, native-yield mechanism allows users to earn a higher APY while maintaining liquidity. Users can stake Oasys OAS tokens with L1 validators from companies like Sega and Ubisoft, earning a 9% APY, which is higher than Ethereum's staking rates.
Uprising Labs offers several unique features:
- Up to 9% APY on native-yield rewards across multiple blockchains while remaining liquid.
- Incentives for both on-chain and off-chain actions, promoting user acquisition and retention.
- Full EVM compatibility using the Optimism stack and Avail’s Data Availability Layer.
- The ability to pay any smart contract with any major wrapped token via smart wallet ERC-4337 technology.
- A permissioned, brand-safe environment for web3 native and AA/AAA blockchain-enabled games.
- Real-time smart contract firewalls for enhanced security and gas-free transactions.
