THE FOUNDING TEAM

GABBY, BERYL AND OWL

The story of Yield Guild Games tracks back to 2018, when gaming industry veteran Gabby Dizon began to lend his own Axies to other Axie Infinity players who couldn’t afford to buy their own. By October 2020, it was clear how this was helping Filipinos create another source of income during the pandemic while doing something they enjoyed.

It sparked the idea to create a global network of players and investors who would help each other get started with NFT games. With fintech entrepreneur Beryl Li and developer Owl of Moistness joining Gabby as co-founders, YGG was brought to life with the mission of onboarding millions of people into the play-to-earn revolution.

Introduction
About
Yield Guild Games (YGG) is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for investing in
non fungible tokens (NFTs) used in virtual worlds and blockchain-based games. The
organization’s mission is to create the biggest virtual world economy, optimizing its
community-owned assets for maximum utility and sharing its profits with its token holders.
Vision
YGG combines the best of the non-fungible token (NFT) and the decentralized finance (DeFi)
space, bringing yield farming to game economies while adding value to these virtual worlds by
developing the content and economy of these games.
We want to own and develop assets in the metaverse as we believe that virtual economies will
be more valuable than real-world economies over time. At the same time, we want to create
value in the virtual world for our guild members to thrive in a virtual environment – the
competitive gamers, the artists, and content creators that populate the metaverse.

State of the market
YGG sits at the intersection of three markets each of which is has strong growth potential:
● NFT sales topped $2 billion in Q1 of 2021. NBA Top Shots and NFT artists, such as
Beeple, have pushed NFTs into mainstream vernacular.
● DeFi tokens hit $50B in total locked value.
● There are 70m crypto wallet holders.
1
● The global gaming market reached a value of US $167.9 Billion in 2020.
2
● The rise of virtual worlds, such as Decentraland, and blockchain games, such as Axie
Infinity and The Sandbox, have gained a fully diluted valuation of over $1.8B USD.
3
Note: Numbers taken as of end of March 2021.
Activities of YGG
YGG’s goal is to maximize the value of NFTs used in virtual worlds and blockchain-based
games. Its protocol is automated by smart contracts instructed by consensus through the DAO
based on governance proposals and voting of a distributed network of token holders.
Activities of YGG include:
● Building a global community of play-to-earn gamers who play competitively to collect
in-game rewards (e.g. players in Axie Infinity earning tokens from winning battles);
● Producing revenue through the rental or sale of YGG-owned NFT assets for a markup
(e.g the resale of land in The Sandbox or renting Axies to players as part of a
profit-sharing model, known as a scholarship);
● Allowing the community to participate in the DAO by passing proposals and voting;
● Coordinating research and development for gamers in the DAO to arbitrage on yield
generation by being competitive in metaverse-related games.

Business Model
As technology allows more people to move more of their lives online, an entire digital economy
is developing inside these new virtual worlds, known as “the metaverse.” YGG’s business model
builds real-world value from fundamental metaverse economics.
Business Thesis
● The primary revenue of the DAO will come from leveraging YGG-owned NFT assets,
either directly, or indirectly, via a rental program where guild members utilize the assets
in exchange for a portion of the in-game rewards going directly to YGG;
● In the case of in-game assets such as land, revenue may be generated by third party
(non-guild members) conducting economic activities on that in-game land;
● NFT ownership will benefit from the rise of the in-game asset’s economic value being
reflected in the value of its native fungible token on the open market.
The value of all activities in YGG will be captured in the fully diluted market capitalisation of
YGG governance tokens.
Selection Criteria
The YGG business thesis requires the following elements of a play-to-earn game to make it
suitable for selection by the DAO:

  1. A virtual land-based economy which can be acquired;
  2. A virtual economy with a native token;
  3. Play-to-earn functionality where players are rewarded native tokens for in-game activity.
    Launch Plans
    At launch our treasury and our guild will focus on the following play-to-earn games that have
    already shown strong potential and community support:
    ● Axie Infinity produced by Sky Mavis;
    ● The Sandbox produced by TSB;
    ● League of Kingdoms produced by NPlus.
    As play-to-earn evolves, YGG’s portfolio will expand to other games that fulfill the criteria and
    yield requirements outlined above as governed by the DAO.
    7
    Value Proposition
    Team Focus
    The YGG team will work on the following:
    ● Acquire
    4 new players, ambassadors, community managers, and game masters;
    ● Incentivize

    ● Distribute token grants;
    ● Build new guild features;
    ● Build technology to expand its core activities of rentals and yield;
    ● Purchase virtual gaming assets.
    Value Creation
    YGG’s value is derived from the following:
    ● Yield gained from assets acquired by treasury;

    The Treasury
    The role of the YGG treasury is to oversee the management of YGG assets to maximize value
    returned to the YGG DAO over time.
    Economic Activities
    ● Purchase of assets in the form of cryptocurrencies, virtual assets in the metaverse,
    SAFTs, in-game tokens (such as, but not limited to, Small Love Potion (SLP), which is a
    token earned by winning battles in Axie Infinity and is required in order to breed Axie
    NFTs), as well as other NFTs to contribute to the development of metaverse economies;
    ● Arbitrage farms to maximise yields;
    ● Manage locked, unvested, undistributed tokens of all parties;
    ● Provide guidance in events that involve debt and interest payments, acquisition of assets
    including any buybacks and future fundraising rounds;
    ● Perform financial operations such as accounting, audits, reporting and tax.
    Treasury assets are managed by the three co-founders via a multisignature Gnosis wallet.
    Two out of three Trezor hardware wallet signatures will be required per transaction.
    Fund raising
    YGG has secured $1.325M in a seed round led by Delphi Digital
    6 and $4M in an A round led by
    Bitkraft.

    Distribution of funds
    Ultimately, the DAO will be responsible
    for the decisions regarding the
    distribution of funds from the treasury on
    an ongoing basis.
    Prior to the DAO being in place and
    sufficiently decentralized, the founding
    team have proposed the following
    distribution of funds based on the
    amount raised including projected funds
    from the token generation event.
    Funds raised will be distributed
    according to Figure 1 (right).
    Figure 1: YGG Distribution of Funds
    Portfolio Reporting
    There are plans to add to the website a portfolio tracking component which allows guild
    members to see the financial and performance data of YGG in real-time.
    10
    The DAO
    Participants in the DAO will be owners and managers of the entire ecosystem of the YGG
    Network. Decision making will be prorated based on a participant’s ownership to the overall
    DAO through a YGG token ownership. Tokens will represent voting rights in the DAO.
    YGG Token Issuance
    There will be 1,000,000,000 YGG tokens minted in aggregate. Distribution of supply will occur in
    multiple phases scheduled at different dates and for different purposes. Allocation is as follows:
    Figure 2: YGG token supply breakdown
    The month on month distribution breakdown can be found in this document.
    See linear (Fig. 3) and log scale (Fig. 4) graphs below.

    Token Allocation Breakdown
    Treasury
    133,333,334 (13.3% of total allocation)
    The YGG Treasury will hold 13.3% of the total token allocation with no lock up period and no
    vesting condition.
    Founders
    150,000,000 (15% of total allocation)
    Members of the founding team will have a 2 year lock-up period. After which, tokens vest
    linearly for a further 3 years.
    Figure 5: Founders Tokens Distribution Schedule
    13
    Advisors
    17,500,000 (2.0% of total allocation)
    Advisors will have a 1 year lock up period. During the 2nd year, advisory tokens vest linearly for
    12 months as can be seen in Figure 6.
    Figure 6: Advisor Tokens Distribution Schedule
    Investors (Seed & Series A)
    249,166,666 (24.9% of total allocation)
    Seed Investors will have 20% of their allocation released at the network launch. 80% of their
    token allocation will have a 1 year lock up period and then their tokens will vest linearly for 1
    year after the lock up period.
    More information about the Seed Raise could be found here.
    Series A Tranche A investors will have a 2 year lock up. After this period, a 3 year vesting
    schedule. Series A Tranche B investors will have a 1 year lock up. After this period, a 2 year
    linear vesting schedule. The aggregate token distribution for investors can be seen in Figure 7.
    Excess tokens, an amount to be determined, will be released during the token generation event.

    Community Allocation
    450,000,000 (45% of total allocation)
    Distributed to the DAO community members through its various community programs to be
    launched in later dates shown in Figure 8. See ‘Community Programs’ for more information.

    Network Token Rewards
    ● The community will vote to switch on the feature of distributing token rewards to token
    holders. This is where we will introduce staking vaults to receive the rewards directly
    through smart contracts into their accounts. Mechanics of the distribution will be subject
    to proposal submission. The intention is to create staking vaults to earn rewards from the
    network as an APY.
    ● YGG will eventually release various staking vaults allowing token stakes to earn rewards
    ranging from YGG’s overall activities to a specific activity.
    ● A vault may also be designed to have a combination of token rewards from activities of
    the network and extra membership privileges such as discounts and exclusive
    merchandise. A high level explanation could be found under the subDAO and the
    Staking Vault section of this whitepaper.
    ● The mechanics of staking vaults that YGG launches will be posted on YGG’s official
    website and blog channels.
    Early Structure
    The founders will be the core team and the earliest participants of the DAO. It will gradually
    consist of early investors, asset owners, and players in the blockchain gaming and NFT space.
    YGG token holders will eventually replace the early team as administrators of the protocol.
    Governance Proposals and Voting
    Proposals and voting will be related but not limited to the following subjects:
  4. Technology
  5. Products and projects
  6. Token distribution
  7. Governance structure
    Any guild member part of the YGG network can send proposals through the YGG website, for
    the ecosystem to cast their votes. Decisions will be based on the majority of votes and
    implemented through a distributed system. Tokens may be granted as rewards to community
    members that create winning proposals for the DAO to implement. More information will be
    published on the official website in the coming weeks.
    16
    SubDAO
    YGG will establish a subDAO to host a specific game’s assets and activities. Assets in the
    subDAO are acquired, fully owned and only controlled by the YGG treasury through a
    multisignature (multisig) hardware wallet for security reasons. Through smart contracts, the
    community of players would be able to put assets to work.
    A subDAO is tokenized, where a portion of the subDAO tokens will be offered to the community.
    Community subDAO token holders are able to send proposals and vote concerning the specific
    game mechanics. The intention is to incentivize the community to put the assets under treasury
    management to play. This will allow community subDAO token holders to enjoy the potential
    upside of the assets and yields generated from their productive game play
    7
    .
    There is no specific ownership breakdown offered to the community as of this writing. A
    separate paper and report will be published when a subDAO is launched. It will contain details
    of the distribution of the subDAO tokens and the economic value of the assets in the subDAO
    wallet at fair value.
    One of the current proposals to date is including a small allocation of YGG tokens (main DAO)
    in selected subDAOs to align incentives between each subDAO and the main guild. After all, the
    more successful the subDAOs are, the more successful YGG tokens will be.
    A recent example is the issuance of YGGLOK tokens
    8
    . YGG Treasury acquired League of
    Kingdom parcels of land, which are held in a YGG wallet controlled through a multisig
    arrangement organised by the DAO. This wallet will be tokenized into a subDAO where a
    portion of these tokens will be offered to the community to align incentives by providing them
    upside from their game play. All holders of the tokenized wallet or YGGLOK tokens can
    participate in governance and access exposure to the YGGLOK yields from the activities it
    engages in.
    See ‘YGG as an Index’ section of the Whitepaper to understand how YGG tokens become an
    index of all subDAO game play activities.

    18
    YGG Token
    YGG Token Value
    YGG token = A + B + C+ … +Z
    A represents the Index’s value from token yield generated by utilizing the assets of each
    subDAO as explained in the section below ‘YGG as a SubDAO Index’.
    B represents the value of all NFT assets and its reward yields.
    C represents the multiple from its growing user base.
    The rest of the functions represent YGG’s activities from NFT asset rentals, merchandise,
    esports and NFT breeding activities.
    As the metaverse NFT economy grows, especially in gaming, it will have a multiplier effect on
    the value of YGG. Aside from it being positively correlated with the metaverse economy, its
    yields are from vetted projects and revenue generating activities from those projects.
    A breakdown of YGG’s revenues and its activities are noted in the ‘Value Proposition’ section.
    YGG as a SubDAO Index
    A function of YGG token’s value is derived from the earnings or value of all its subDAO
    ownership. A subDAO enables the community to put the assets of the game to play.
    YGG Treasury will own an undefined % of each subDAO that contains a set of NFT assets. The
    community owning the rest of the % of the subDAO will be composed of players to put the
    assets to play.
    The YGG token will reflect the % ownership of each of the tokenized subDAOs, making it a
    subDAO index.
    Where,
    A = % Axie SubDAO (YGGAXS) + % Lok SubDAO (YGGLOK) + …+ % Zed SubDAO (YGGZED)
    This means, A captures the weights of ownership of all subDAOs as a function of (1) value of
    the assets in the wallet and (2) value of productivity gained from putting assets to play.
    19
    YGG Vaults
    Each vault at YGG will represent a token rewards program for specific activities or for all of
    YGG’s activities. To be able to claim an annualized yield of rewards for a specific activity, YGG
    token holders will have the option to stake in the vault they want rewards from. Token Stakers
    will also have the option to stake into an all-in-one staking system that will reward a portion of
    earnings from each vault proportionate to the amount of YGG staked.
    As an example, there can be a vault specific for breeding Axies as an activity. Token Stakers will
    receive the rewards from breeding activities proportional to their stake in the vault.
    Another example would be specific for NFT rental activity.
    By popular demand, there will also be a vault that will earn token rewards from all of YGGs
    activities, making it a super index. This would include all revenue-generating activities such as
    but not limited to subscription, merchandise, rentals, treasury growth and subDAO index
    performance.
    Each vault will have specific rules such that it can stipulate a lock-in period and/or a rewards
    escrow or vesting period in some cases. More information will be provided in separate blogs at
    official YGG channels.
    20
    Technical Roadmap
    The product development roadmap will be continually reviewed and refined over time, in
    accordance with the wishes of the YGG DAO.
    Note: Additional features or changes to products will be voted by the DAO through proposals. The roadmap specified
    on this paper can change. More updates on our technical roadmap will be provided on our official website and blog.
    In the short term, it is possible to allow users to farm or rent NFT assets. However, it will need to
    remain under centralized authority as the current ERC-721 standard does not support such a
    feature. YGG will set up a smart contract to issue ownership tokens or internally track ownership
    and rented assets in a database. The latter is a cheaper option as no gas would be paid.
    To make integration with NFTs smoother, YGG would need to push forward a new NFT standard
    allowing for renting and sharing capacities. EIP-2615 was proposed in April 2020
    (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2615). We can inspire ourselves from this proposal to write
    21
    a tailored standard for our needs. In the long term we hope to motivate projects in the NFT
    scene to adopt our standard to enable renting/lending capacities.
    YGG tokens will be distributed to users through rental of YGG-owned NFT assets and via active
    guild involvement. For example, a user can farm SLP in Axie Infinity with Axies borrowed from
    YGG. SLP resulting from gameplay would be distributed back to the DAO, with a precalculated
    share of YGG tokens to be issued to the player for acting in alignment with the DAO’s goals.
    YGG tokens will be used to interact with the governance and other features.
    In the future, the provision of smart contract-based NFT lending and delegation will allow for the
    economic activity inside virtual worlds to grow and develop. While YGG will work toward
    achieving this in a trustless manner, in the short term, social coordination via the DAO will be
    used to achieve YGG’s goals until it is possible to manage these activities from smart contracts.
    After generating significant treasury growth and automating rentals through our scholarship
    program, YGG will launch a rental marketplace to open up its scholarship program(s) to other
    NFT holders. This will include other forms of non-collateralized lending for YGG members.

​​What is Play-to-Earn?

Play-to-earn is a new category in video gaming that rewards players for winning battles and completing tasks with tokens or other cryptocurrency-based rewards, which they are free to use in-game or trade on an open market. This represents an important shift in the gaming world, which has traditionally kept in-game assets confined to centralized platforms that did not allow transferring those assets externally.

What is an NFT?

An NFT is a unique, immutable, and verifiable representation of a physical or digital item on a blockchain. This technology allows important concepts of physical ownership, such as provenance and authentication, to be transferred digitally. In video games, NFTs also open up the potential for in-game assets to be interoperable with a range of different games and platforms.

How do NFT games work?

In NFT games, in-game assets are wholly owned by the players—not the game’s developer. These gaming-based NFTs may include characters, plots of virtual land, weapons, and so on. They can be used inside blockchain games to earn yield in the form of tokens or other rewards, which can be used in-game or traded on an open market for other cryptocurrencies or fiat money.
