The Idea: Gaming for Everyone (Even Without Money)
Imagine you love video games but there’s a catch: some games require you to own expensive digital items (characters, lands, or other NFTs) to play or earn. That means if you don’t have money to buy those digital items, you can’t join in.
YGG started with a simple but powerful idea: what if a community instead of just one person buys those expensive assets together, and then shares them with people who don’t have money? That way, more people get to play. And anyone who owns part of that community investment also gets a slice of whatever earnings come from those games.
That’s basically what YGG does: it pools money, buys NFTs/digital assets (in-game characters, lands, etc.), and then makes them available to players who couldn’t afford them on their own.
In doing this, YGG tries to build a “virtual economy” like owning property or businesses, but inside blockchain games.
How It Works Under the Hood But in Plain Terms
The Treasury: YGG’s Shared Warehouse
Think of YGG as a big warehouse of digital assets. This “warehouse” the YGG Treasury holds all the NFTs and gaming assets purchased by the community.
From that warehouse:
Some assets are given (rented/ lent) out to players who join YGG but don’t own much. These players use the assets to play games and earn this is often called a “scholarship.”
The earnings from gameplay are then shared: part goes to the player (for doing the work), part goes to the guild (because they own the assets). It creates a revenue-sharing model.
Sub-DAOs: Smaller “Clubs” Inside the Big Guild
YGG isn’t one monolithic group it’s made of many smaller groups (called SubDAOs). Each SubDAO might focus on a particular game or a particular region.
So for example: there could be a SubDAO for people who play “Game A”, another one for “Game B”, or maybe a SubDAO for players living in Southeast Asia. Within each SubDAO: they decide together how to manage the assets, who gets what, and how to share earnings but all under the umbrella of the community-owned Treasury.
This structure gives flexibility: different games have different economies some need expensive lands, others need rare characters and SubDAOs let people tailor strategies for each game.
The Token: YGG More Than Just a Coin
YGG has its own token (also called YGG). This token isn’t just for trading it’s part of how the guild works.
The total supply is 1 billion YGG tokens.
A big portion (around 45%) is reserved for the community meaning rewards, staking, and incentives for players and contributors.
Holding YGG gives you voting power: token holders can vote on how the guild should invest, what games to support, how to distribute rewards, etc.
Also you can stake YGG: commit your tokens for a while, and in return get rewards. These rewards come from the guild’s overall activities (rentals, scholarships, game revenues, etc.) not just random interest. It’s like owning shares in a business.
So YGG token is the “share certificate” showing you own part of the guild, and you get to influence decisions plus benefit if the guild does well.
Who Benefits And Who Might Struggle (Real People, Real Stories)
For Players Without Capital
If you’re someone who loves games, but doesn’t have money to buy expensive NFTs to play pay-to-earn games: YGG gives you a chance.
You can be a “scholar”: borrow (rent) the in-game NFT asset from the guild play the game and earn. Then you share the earnings, but you don’t need upfront cash. It lowers the barrier to entry and gives people everywhere a shot at participating.
This kind of model is especially interesting for people from countries where real-world income is lower they can potentially earn by just playing.
For Investors Asset Holders
If you have capital or believe in blockchain gaming’s future: instead of buying one risky digital asset yourself, you can join YGG.
Your asset becomes part of a diversified pool (many games, many NFTs), and you get a share of all the revenues the guild generates rentals, game earnings, staking rewards. It spreads risk, instead of putting it all on one game or one NFT.
Plus because the community governs the decisions, as token holder you have a say. It’s more collective, more democratic than a single investor deciding alone.
But It’s Not All Sunshine Real Risks & Challenges
Because YGG depends on game economies, NFTs, and many players:
If one game becomes unpopular, shuts down, or changes its economy revenue might drop, NFTs may lose value. That affects all holders.
NFTs and crypto are volatile. Even if a game is doing okay, market sentiment and crypto price swings can hurt.
Earning depends on many players being active. If fewer people play, yields shrink.
Governance and coordination within a large, decentralized community can be messy. Decisions may take time or be contested.
So for people thinking of joining it’s like investing in a startup: possible upside, but also uncertainties
Why YGG Matters Not Just for Gamers, But for a Creative Future
YGG isn’t just trying to make money. At a deeper level, it’s trying to invent a new kind of society:
A global community, where people from different countries can collaborate over the internet, own assets together, share profits.
A digital economy, where “virtual land”, “digital items”, “in-game characters” are assets not just fun. They can hold real value.
A lower barrier to entry for people who would otherwise not be able to join expensive games enabling broader inclusion.
A more democratic model of ownership: instead of a single rich buyer owning a rare NFT, many people own fractions together. Decisions are made by the community, not by a centralized company.
This if it works could change how we think of games, property, work, and income. For many people around the world, it could open up real opportunities.
Final Thought: YGG as a Social Experiment Real Assets, Real People
YGG is more than code and tokens. It’s an experiment in combining gaming, finance, community, and digital assets.
It offers hope: that games can be more than fun they can be livelihood, community, shared ownership. But it also demands caution: nothing is guaranteed; success depends on many moving pieces (games, economy, community activity, crypto markets).
If you think of joining treat it like joining a shared business. Contribute, but don’t expect guarantees. Be willing to ride both highs and lows.
