How YGG Works
YGG operates through several interconnected mechanisms:
1. DAO Governance
YGG is structured as a decentralized autonomous organization, meaning strategic decisions — such as how community funds and assets are used — are made collectively by YGG token holders through governance proposals and votes.
2. NFT Acquisition and Management
YGG invests in valuable in-game NFTs (like characters, items, or virtual land) that generate yield through player activity. These assets are used by members or rented out to players who cannot afford them.
3. Scholarships and Play-to-Earn
One of YGG’s most influential innovations is its scholarship program:
YGG loans NFTs to players (“scholars”) who don’t own them.
Scholars play blockchain games and earn rewards (tokens, NFTs).
Rewards are typically split between the guild and the scholar according to predetermined terms.
4. SubDAOs
Within the broader guild, SubDAOs exist for specific games or regions. These smaller autonomous groups manage their own NFTs, membership, and governance within the YGG ecosystem.
