YGG showcases new Web3 games and job opportunities at Web3 Community Summit

Yield Guild Games (YGG) brought together Web3 leaders, content creators, and community managers and members for a series of game demos & tournaments, upskilling workshops, and thought-provoking discussions in the recent Web3 Community Summit.

The summit, which aimed to grow, support, and empower the country’s thriving Web3 community, had over a thousand people in attendance who experienced first hand some upcoming Web3 games—including Gensokishi, Metacene, Mighty Action Heroes, SingSing, and the layer one platform XPLA. Attendees were also given the chance to apply to over 100 job opportunities in Web3 with the support of Web3 Jobs Asia, according to the YGG’s release.

For YGG co-founder Gabby Dizon, the community’s warm reception of the summit’s activities is proof of the relentless support and passion of Filipino enthusiasts for Web3.

“Despite the bear market, many builders in the space are continuing to foster community engagement. The hope is that by the time the bull market comes around, you have an empowered and well-informed core community that can teach and mentor others that are looking at coming into the space,” he explained. 

Supporting and empowering the local Web3 communities has been the goal of YGG since it began in 2020. Throughout the years, it grew to become the world’s largest decentralized gaming guild network, its community members were given a deeper understanding of how to participate in Web3, and were equipped with the knowledge they need to make the most of opportunities in the metaverse. Web3 Metaversity, YGG’s education and upskilling program, plays a key role in this. 

Today, Filipinos that were introduced to Web3 through gaming are now an integral part of YGG’s core community, according to Dizon. He also expressed his excitement for what’s to come in the future, including the development of more Web3 games and experimentations in tokenomics and rewards. 

“We are held together by the love of the game and the sheer enjoyment of playing with each other,” he said. “Now we have really good partners from all over the world. It’s important for us to have the community rally to see what games to explore and discover and know where to bring their community in the near future.” 

YGG has also been encouraging participation and facilitating growth among core community members with projects like the Guild Advancement Program, where members can earn tokens and badges for their on-chain resumes by participating in the guild’s various activities. Most recently, YGG also launched SuperQuests, a program that lets new users learn more about Web3 games as they play.

YGG is also preparing for the upcoming Web3 Games Summit in November, a week-long event featuring a two-day conference, esports tournament, hackathon, and more. It is poised to be one of the world’s premier Web3 events of the year—with founders, game developers, investors, community leaders, and content creators from all over the world expected to participate and interact with the broader community.
