Blockchain gaming ecosystem Oasys has announced a strategic partnership with the non-custodial asset bridge provider, Celer Network. 

This collaboration is a major move in the push to enhance digital asset interoperability, and will inaugurate support for the Bridged USDC Standard on the Oasys blockchain. It will subsequently improve the utility and adoption of stablecoin assets in the gaming and blockchain sectors as well.

Oasys To Implement the Bridged USDC Standard

Developed by the global fintech firm Circle Internet Financial (Circle), the Bridged USDC standard aims to enable a seamless upgrade path from bridged USDC to native USDC for eligible blockchain networks in the future. 

Given the fact that USDC is the largest regulated US dollar-backed stablecoin, the crypto’s integration into new chains could accelerate the adoption of dollar-denominated payments.

Through its partnership with Celer, developers and users within the Oasys ecosystem will gain access to a new deployment of bridged USDC which also adheres to Circle’s standard. 

Effective immediately, this new bridged USDC will be recognized as Bridged USDC (Celer). It will trade under the ticker symbol USDC.e, and be backed 1:1 by USDC locked in Ethereum-based smart contracts.

Developers and users will have a full year to swap their legacy bridged USDC (USDC.e-legacy) to the new USDC.e token. Alternatively, they will also be able to un-bridge it back to Ethereum during this window. For more information, developers and users can refer to the Oasys blog. They can also find detailed instructions on the swapping and bridging process.
