🎉ArweaveOasis completes asset acquisition of WAO developer platform from WeaveDB
Singapore, November 12, 2025 — ArweaveOasis(@ArweaveOasis) today announced it has completed the asset acquisition of WAO (Wizard AO, @WaoEco), a developer platform previously operated by WeaveDB(@weave_db). The transaction covers WAO-related intellectual property and supporting assets, including source code, documentation, trademarks, and domains. Following the acquisition, WAO will remain available to AO/HyperBEAM developers. ArweaveOasis will work with the ecosystem to strengthen stability and onboarding experience to further lower the barrier to building.
To ensure a smooth transition, WAO’s original author Tomoya Nagasawa(@TomoDB) will provide part-time consulting during the transition period, supporting maintenance, compatibility updates, and developer documentation. Tomoya remains the founder of WeaveDB. This announcement relates to an asset deal and does not involve any change in WeaveDB’s corporate ownership or control.
Gerry Wang(@GerryWon), founder of ArweaveOasis, said:
“Real ecosystem growth happens when more developers can ship faster. WAO’s architecture aligns closely with our long-term vision for developer community building. Acquiring WAO gives builders a practical, ready-to-use entry point that reduces the learning and integration costs for AO/HyperBEAM. We appreciate Tomoya’s continued support as a consultant during the transition, and we’ll focus on hardening stability and simplifying the first-run experience to deliver visible improvements to the community quickly.”
Tomoya Nagasawa(@TomoDB), original author of WAO, said:
“WAO was created to accelerate building on Arweave(@ArweaveEco), AO(@aoTheComputer), and HyperBEAM with an intuitive API, lightning-fast testing, and an SDK for extending HyperBEAM with external integrations. It has been battle-tested for a year through WeaveDB development and proven to streamline the developer experience. Through my involvement in Arweave Japan and India, I realized that an efficient and accessible development environment is key to ecosystem growth. Gerry and the ArweaveOasis team have the right position, mindset, and execution to elevate WAO and the developer ecosystem to the next stage, and I’m excited to continue supporting them in expanding the community across Asia.”
Developer impact and near-term plan
· No service interruption: WAO remains available; existing entry points and documentation stay online.
· Temporary private repo (transition): To complete security remediation and IP housekeeping, the WAO GitHub repository will be temporarily private during the transition; open-sourcing will resume after compliance review (target window: D+30).
· Easier onboarding: We will progressively improve the developer flow, templates, and tutorials to reduce ramp-up time.
