what's yield guild games?
Yield Guild Games (YGG) is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focused on web3 gaming, acting as a guild that connects players, game studios, and investors to facilitate access to play-to-earn opportunities. It enables gamers to borrow or rent high-value in-game NFTs, allowing broader participation without upfront costs, while token holders can stake YGG to earn yields from guild activities. The project supports a global community through sub-DAOs and initiatives like YGG Play, a launchpad for casual web3 games. YGG has expanded into game publishing and partnerships with studios like Delabs Games for titles such as GIGACHADBAT. Recently, it announced token buybacks totaling $2.5M to support the ecosystem.
