PLAY TO EARN


NFT GAMING IN THE PHILIPPINES

In 2020, YGG funded the award-winning mini-documentary “Play-to-Earn: NFT Gaming
in the Philippines,” which tells the story of a small community in the rural
Philippines that earned a living by playing Axie Infinity during the COVID-19
pandemic.




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.








FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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.

How do people earn from NFT games? Where does the money come from?

In decentralized game economies, there is an entire ecosystem of players who
buy, sell, and trade in-game items between each other. They are able to do this
because NFTs and cryptocurrencies provide the players with digital property
rights for their in-game assets. Thus, the players actually become part-owners
in the game and get to share in the value that the community creates.

What are other types of NFTs?

NFTs include artworks, virtual real estate, and digital pets, which can be
bought, sold, and traded on open digital marketplaces such as OpenSea and
Rarible, among others.

What is the Metaverse?

The Metaverse refers to an expansive, interconnected virtual world wherein
people can recreate many of the things they do in real life and more. These
activities include building, buying, selling, owning, socializing, entertaining,
working, learning, and so on. The Metaverse is available to anyone who would
want to enter it, which can open up opportunities to people from all parts of
the world regardless of race, gender, and socio-economic status.

What are the most common game genres in play-to-earn?

The most popular play-to-earn game, Axie Infinity, is a card-based strategy game
similar to Hearthstone. 

YGG has invested in and partnered with various play-to-earn games, including car
racing games F1® Delta Time and REVV Racing, virtual worlds such as The Sandbox,
RPGs such as Guild of Guardians, MMORPGs such as Ember Sword, and the grand
strategy and space exploration game Star Atlas, among others.

Where can I find play-to-earn games?

You may check out YGG’s growing game partners through YGG’s Medium and YGG
Discord to access updates on what games our community are playing and
researching.

You can also visit websites such as DappRadar, Dapp.com, and PlayToEarn that
list many other play-to-earn games.

How much money do I need to start?
It varies from game to game. Players can start with as little as US$20 in some
games and upwards to US$1000 in the more expensive games.
What is a scholarship?

Rising NFT prices have made NFT games cost-prohibitive for some
players—especially those who are new to play-to-earn. Scholarships are
revenue-sharing programs that allow new players to borrow or rent NFTs, so they
can play the game without having to spend any money.

Any resulting in-game rewards are shared between the player and the owner of the
NFT, with the player taking the largest cut. Some scholarship programs provide
additional benefits such as training and mentorship to help players improve
their skills, in-house tournaments, and upgrade incentives.

Learn more about scholarships in our Medium post.

What is a gaming guild?

A guild is a community of players who regularly play together and collaborate
for mutual benefit.

YGG is a gaming guild that coordinates players around the world to earn
crypto-based rewards in play-to-earn games. It also invests in NFTs, such as
in-game assets and virtual land, and makes them available for guild members to
borrow. YGG is made up of different community members, players, and contributors
who help each other get onboarded and earn income through play-to-earn.

What do Community Managers do?

Community Managers are active guild members who recruit and train new players.
Under the scholarship model, Community Managers usually receive a commission on
rewards and revenues generated by the player(s) that they manage on an ongoing
basis.

Community Managers also provide ongoing training and mentorship to help players
improve their skill and better understand important concepts in play-to-earn
gaming. Managers also help new players learn how to safely and responsibly
manage their earnings in cryptocurrencies.

Can NFT games provide a sustainable income?

Some players in the Philippines have been able to earn two to three times the
local minimum salary by playing the play-to-earn game Axie Infinity. However,
the amount of money that can be earned depends on several factors, including the
player’s skill, how much time they spend playing the game, their win rate, and
the price movements of in-game tokens and assets on the open market.

Many people play NFT games to supplement their income.

What is a DAO?

A decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, is a blockchain-based protocol
with rules enforced by smart contracts, which are programs stored on a
blockchain that run when predetermined conditions are met.

DAOs can have several purposes, but their main function is to provide an
automated way to carry out governance decisions voted on by its members using a
governance token. A DAO’s activities are borderless and entirely transparent
through the blockchain.

What are the requirements needed to participate in play-to-earn?

A mobile device or laptop/PC, internet connection, crypto wallet, and the NFT
asset required to play the NFT game. See this BitPinas article on how to set up
a crypto wallet like MetaMask.

Is crypto and NFT gaming safe?

Participating in NFT gaming comes with risk, so it is important that you do your
own research and build awareness regarding how to use crypto safely, securely,
and responsibly.

BitPinas, the Philippines’ leading cryptocurrency news publication, created an
in-depth guide on how to secure your play-to-earn accounts and crypto wallets.
