YGG is a play-to-earn gaming guild. That means we buy into NFT assets of different blockchain games. For example, we own a lot of axies, a lot of cars in F1 Delta Time, a lot of land in games like Sandbox and League of Kingdoms. Once we have these assets, we lend them out to our player base, the guild members. These guild members are playing with the assets that we own inside the game. They make some money off that through the game mechanics, get some token-based rewards, and are able to cash out to fiat. Think about it as a World of Warcraft guild with a bank account.
