Wrapped OAS wallet

What is Wrapped OAS (WOAS)?

Oasys is an EVM chain built for games, split into a Hub Layer that settles and a set of Verse Layers where the games themselves run and where players are not asked to pay gas at all. OAS is the coin that layer runs on: validator collateral and fees on the Hub, and the unit games settle in when value leaves a Verse.

WOAS, as listed here, is not that coin. It is an ERC-20 standing in for OAS outside its home chain, which changes the practical picture in two ways. It pays for nothing on Oasys - it cannot cover a Hub transaction or back a validator - and every move you make with it is priced in the gas coin of the chain it lives on, not in OAS. To get back to something usable inside Oasys, the token has to go through whatever bridge or redemption path issued it in the first place.

The second thing worth knowing is the name collision. Inside Oasys there is also a wrapped form of OAS, the ordinary trick of giving a native gas coin an ERC-20 interface so contracts can handle it. Same idea, same ticker in conversation, completely different token from the one you hold here.

Tangem keeps WOAS as its own line with its own balance and names the network on the outgoing transaction before the card signs, so reading that line is worth the two seconds it costs. With a gaming coin that exists in more than one form, that habit is the part of self-custody that actually protects you.
