The YGG Token: Powering Participation, Growth, and Governance Across the YGG Network.

The YGG token sits at the heart of the Yield Guild Games ecosystem, serving as the foundational asset that enables community participation, guild formation, and long-term network growth.

Designed with utility and alignment in mind, @Yield Guild Games  empowers members to shape the network’s future while accessing exclusive onchain features and programs.

Below is an overview of the core functions and utility of the YGG token within the ecosystem.

1. Guild Creation: Fueling Onchain Guild Formation

One of the central use cases for the #YGGPlay  token is the creation of Onchain Guilds — autonomous player communities built directly on the YGG Protocol.

This burn mechanism ensures commitment from founders and aligns incentives toward building long-lasting, active guild communities.

2. Activity & Program Access: Token-Burned Access Passes

Participation in select community activities and programs requires users to burn $YGG  tokens to mint access passes.

These passes act as cryptographic tickets that grant entry to exclusive quests and community events and program-based incentives. By tying access to token burns, the YGG ecosystem maintains both sustainability and exclusivity while reinforcing long-term token utility.

3. Staking: Turbocharging Community Participation

Through staking, members unlock:

Program-specific rewards

Enhanced participation benefits

Additional incentives aligned with network activity

This staking model empowers the community to support network operations while gaining increased influence and rewards.

4. Community Growth & Engagement: 45% Allocated to the Community

With 45% of total $YGG  supply allocated to the community, the token plays a critical role in ecosystem growth and retention.

This ensures that the majority of value circulates where it matters most — among the players and guilds who drive the YGG mission forward.
