Following the undisputed success of <strong>Axie Infinity<\/strong>, the play-to-earn (P2E) blockchain gaming industry has been on the rise and numerous users have joined the trend. Such <strong>P2E<\/strong> trend has attracted numerous users from all over the world, however, not all gaming NFTs are <strong>affordable<\/strong> for many players, <strong>especially in developing countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yield Guild Games has set as its main goal to develop a <strong>P2E community<\/strong> to offer users a solution for those players who cannot access the NFT. In this way, everyone will have <strong>access<\/strong> and will be able to take their <strong>first steps<\/strong> with NFT games.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing we should know is that<strong> Yield Guild Games (YGG) is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization or DAO<\/strong> that focuses on <strong>investing<\/strong> in non-fungible tokens or NFTs that will later be employed in <strong>blockchain-based games<\/strong>. As we well know, NFT games are part of a much larger concept known as \u00abmetaverse\u00bb. <strong>Metaverses<\/strong> are a set of elements that are part of a digital world based on blockchain <strong>technology<\/strong>. Among these elements we can find almost anything, from <strong>digital assets to land parcels and much more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"history_of_yield_guild_games\"><\/span>History of Yield Guild Games<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The story of Yield Guild Games began in<strong> 2018<\/strong> when the idea of creating a global play-to-earn gaming community came up. <strong>Gabby Dizon<\/strong>, who is the co-founder and current CEO of YGG, realized that video games to earn cryptocurrencies were becoming a trend in <strong>Southeast Asia<\/strong>. By that time there were not few gamers who were thinking of starting to participate in the very popular game of the moment; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/win-cryptocurrencies-playing-axie-infinity-quick-guide\">Axie Infinity<\/a>. However, many of them had a common problem and that was that they did not have the necessary funds to buy <strong>the game&#8217;s own NFT<\/strong> characters, known as <strong>Axies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Going back to Gabby Dizon, this developer thought that blockchain video games were not only <strong>a method of entertainment<\/strong>, but also represented an empowerment <strong>tool<\/strong> for those living in <strong>developing countries<\/strong>. Therefore, Dizon decided to start making loans of his Axies to other gamers who did not have enough money to buy their own. This was the beginning of <strong>Yield Guild Games<\/strong>, as from this situation came the inspiration to co-found the company with <strong>Beryl Li in 2020<\/strong>. Yield Guild Games was created with the main goal of helping gamers advance in the world of NFT and <strong>blockchain-based video games.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13148 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Que-es-Yield-Guild-Games1.jpg\" alt=\"Qu\u00e9-es-Yield-Guild-Games\" width=\"768\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Que-es-Yield-Guild-Games1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Que-es-Yield-Guild-Games1-300x205.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_does_yield_guild_games_work\"><\/span>How does Yield Guild Games work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yield Guild Games stands out for combining <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/\">Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> with NFT<\/strong>s to develop a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-the-metaverse\">metaverse<\/a> economy on the Ethereum blockchain. YGG DAO is an open source protocol with rules applied through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-a-smart-contract\">smart contracts<\/a>. YYG DAO serves a number of different <strong>purposes<\/strong>, including enforcing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-a-cryptocurrency-governance-system\">governance<\/a> decisions that are voted on by the community, as well as issuing <strong>rewards<\/strong> and facilitating NFT <strong>rentals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>YGG is composed of numerous SubDAOs. These SubDAOs feature groups of players from a specific NFT game or geographic location. Each SubDAO presents its own set of rules aimed at managing the activity and assets of the respective play-to-earn game.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the model presented by<strong> YGG DAO<\/strong>, players of<strong> the same NFT game<\/strong> have the possibility to<strong> work together<\/strong> to maximize their in-game earnings. In addition, its operation allows guild members to rent and use community-owned NFT assets for the purpose of earning in-game rewards. Moreover, those users who<strong> offer to borrow their NFTs<\/strong> through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-a-dao\">DAO<\/a> have the possibility to share a portion of the players&#8217; earnings.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind is that in YGG, <strong>all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/\">NFTs<\/a> and digital assets are stored in the YGG Treasury.<\/strong> This treasury is controlled by the community. The treasury is the part that is in charge of <strong>offering the NFTs to each SubDAO<\/strong> and also includes P2E assets from multiple games on the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_are_subdaos\"><\/span>What are subDAOs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we mentioned in the previous section, YGG DAO is mostly composed of SubDAOs. We can view a SubDAO as a local community within the main YGG DAO. These <strong>local communities<\/strong> are constituted by the player users of a certain <strong>P2E game or specific location<\/strong>. To understand it better, let&#8217;s take examples of SubDAO; in the project there is a SubDAO intended for Axie Infinity players, as well as another SubDAO for players of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-the-sandbox-the-roblox-crypto\">The Sandbox<\/a>, another for players from Southeast Asia, and so on. When players are grouped into different SubDAOs, they can share game strategies and help each other to maximize their performance.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that each SubDAO is responsible for <strong>managing the activities<\/strong> and assets of their respective games. However, they always respect their own set of rules and conditions. SubDAOs contribute profits to the <strong>YGG DAO<\/strong>. Each SubDAO has a community leader, as well as a wallet and a SubDAO token. <strong>Token holders<\/strong> have the possibility to share the revenue generated by the game based on their <strong>contributions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13153 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Que-es-Yield-Guild-Games2.jpg\" alt=\"Qu\u00e9-es-Yield-Guild-Games\" width=\"768\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Que-es-Yield-Guild-Games2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Que-es-Yield-Guild-Games2-300x205.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_ygg\"><\/span>What is YGG?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yield Guild Games (YGG) is the native token of the project. This is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-an-erc-20-token\">ERC-20<\/a> token that gives holders the right to be part of Y<strong>GG DAO<\/strong> governance. This token has a limited total supply of <strong>1 billion tokens<\/strong>. It is worth noting that millions of YGG were sold through an Initial DEX Offering or IDO on the SushiSwap platform in 2021.
