Platforms FAQ
This FAQ is written for platform teams evaluating OGAL integration. It focuses on architecture, control boundaries, and operational concerns.
Do we have to change our existing platform architecture?
No.
OGAL integrates as a registry and verification layer. It does not replace your backend, storage, or monetization systems.
Most platforms integrate OGAL as a read-only verifier first.
Does OGAL force us to use crypto UX everywhere?
No.
Wallet interaction is optional and scoped. You decide when and where ownership matters.
Many platforms:
verify ownership silently
gate features behind ownership
avoid exposing wallets entirely
OGAL works behind the scenes.
Do we need to custody user assets?
No.
OGAL never escrows assets. Ownership lives in standard SPL token accounts.
Your platform does not hold keys unless you already do today.
Can we moderate or remove content?
Yes.
OGAL does not override moderation. You can hide, delist, or block assets at the platform layer.
Ownership truth does not equal distribution rights.
What happens if we want to leave OGAL later?
You can.
Assets minted with OGAL remain valid. Your platform can stop verifying OGAL at any time.
No data hostage. No lock-in pressure.
Are we required to support monetization or royalties?
No.
OGAL does not enforce monetization. You decide how, when, or if value is captured.
OPP is optional and additive.
How long does a basic integration take?
Typical timelines:
Read-only verification: 1–2 sprints
Mint-aware creation: 2–4 sprints
Full packaging + monetization: incremental
Most teams start small.
Can OGAL work with private or enterprise platforms?
Yes.
OGAL does not require public marketplaces. Private platforms can verify ownership without exposing assets publicly.
This is common in enterprise and simulation use cases.
Is OGAL only for games?
No.
Games are the fastest proving ground. The same primitives apply to:
education platforms
simulations
digital twins
enterprise tooling
future real-world integrations
Games are the entry point, not the ceiling.
Who controls upgrades and changes?
OGAL upgrades are governed. Your platform chooses when to adopt updates.
Nothing auto-updates under your feet.
What is the biggest risk for platforms?
The biggest risk is doing nothing.
Closed systems fragment value. Interoperable ownership compounds it.
OGAL lets you adopt interoperability without surrendering control.
One-Sentence Answer for Platform Teams
OGAL gives platforms verifiable ownership and interoperability while preserving full control over UX, policy, and monetization.
