Oasys is a gaming network built in two layers. The Hub holds tokens and records, and each game runs its own separate chain called a Verse.
Your address is the same on all of them, and it starts with 0x. What differs is the balance: the Hub and every Verse keep their own, and one address can hold something different on each.
Gas is paid in OAS, but on a Verse the game usually pays it for you, so playing costs you nothing.
What you get out of the box
Pick your import method.
On Oasys
- Open your wallet and copy your address. It starts with 0x and works on the Hub and on every Verse.
- Add each Verse you have played on as well. They are separate chains with separate balances, so the Hub alone will not show your game assets.
On Kryptos
- Go to Kryptos.io and sign up with your Google account.
- From the menu, click Integrations.
- Click Add Integration and search for Oasys.
- Click the Oasys icon, then choose Import using Address.
- Give the wallet a name, paste your address, and click Import Your Transactions.
Good to know
- The same address holds different balances on the Hub and on each Verse. Importing only the Hub misses most game activity.
- Transaction fees on a Verse are usually paid by the game, not by you.
- Staking OAS can pay rewards in other projects' tokens as well as in OAS.
One address, many chains, many balances
Oasys looks like a single network and behaves like a collection of them, which is the main thing to get right before importing.
The Hub is where tokens and records live. Each game runs its own separate chain, called a Verse, with its own history and its own balances. Your address is identical everywhere, which is convenient and also the source of the confusion: one address, but a different set of holdings on each chain.
So importing the Hub alone will show you your OAS and very little else. The items from the games you played are sitting on their Verses, invisible to anything looking only at the Hub. Anyone whose Oasys balance looks emptier than expected should check there first.
Movement between the layers is a bridge. Sending assets from the Hub to a Verse leaves a record on both, for one movement of your own property. Nothing was sold, and counting each record as its own event would double it.
The other thing Verses do is pay your fees. Rather than making players hold a gas token, the operator of each Verse covers the cost, which is why playing feels free. The fee is still recorded against the transaction, so it can look like an expense you incurred. It is not, and adding it to what your assets cost you would overstate your basis. For how transfers between your own wallets are treated, see the USA crypto tax guide or the UK crypto tax guide.

Finding game assets that are not on the Hub
Each game runs its own chain. Your items live there, not on the Hub, so both need importing for a complete picture.
Accounting for fees a game paid
Transactions on a Verse usually carry a fee paid by the game. It appears on the transaction but never left your balance.
Receiving reward tokens for staking
Staking OAS can pay out tokens belonging to games and projects on the network, which is income in an asset you never bought.

Moving between the Hub and a Verse is a transfer
It produces a record on each side, at two different chains, for one movement of your own assets. Counting both as separate events would double it.
Sponsored fees are not your cost
Where the game pays gas, nothing left your balance. Treating it as a cost you bore would overstate what your assets cost you.
Reward tokens are income in their own right
Staking OAS can pay you in other projects' tokens. Each is income at its value when received, and that value becomes its cost for a later sale.
Game items are assets
Items minted, earned, bought and sold on a Verse are acquisitions and disposals, even though the activity happens inside a game.
Read-only by design.
- Kryptos only ever needs your public wallet address
- A public address is read-only. It can't move or spend anything
- We never ask for your recovery phrase or private key
- Remove a wallet whenever you like, and its data goes with it
If something doesn't sync.
They are on the game's own Verse rather than on the Hub. Add that Verse as a separate network and they will appear.
On a Verse the game usually covers gas. The fee is real but it was not paid out of your balance.
Moving between the Hub and a Verse leaves a record on each side. It is one movement, and Kryptos pairs the two.
