The DAO treasury bought game NFTs land characters and special items. Instead of waiting for prices to rise the guild lent these assets to players so they could play without paying an entry cost. Players earned rewards from the game and shared a part of those rewards back to the guild. This simple system became known as a scholarship and it opened the door to Web3 gaming for tens of thousands of people around the world.
As time passed the gaming market changed. The first wave of play to earn games slowed and many projects struggled to build sustainable economies. The early boom of scholarship models was not enough to support long term growth. YGG did not disappear. Instead it adapted. The organization expanded from a pure scholarship model into a larger community network built on what it calls SubDAOs and vaults. These structures allow the guild to
