Crypto Corner #11 - The Rise of Play-to-Earn Gaming Guilds (Feat. YGG & BAYZ)
Summary here
Play-to-earn Gaming Guilds are Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) that buy game assets (usually yield-earning NFTs) and loan them out to guild members through scholarships.
Because of their size and rapid growth (they often represent tens of thousands of gamers and have $100m+ treasuries), they have a significant impact on how blockchain games are designed and where the industry is going.
