Yield Guild Games (YGG) has launched its YGG token on the Base blockchain, expanding its commitment to low-cost, secure and accessible web3 gaming for all. In partnership with Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 incubated by Coinbase, YGG is making it easier than ever for players to dive into blockchain games, earn rewards, and build their reputation.

This achievement follows the partnership first announced in August 2023, when Base reached public mainnet and kicked off the Onchain Summer annual campaign. With both teams steadily building and working together on a program of innovative projects, launching the YGG token on Base is the first step to ensuring the success of these upcoming initiatives.

Accessible, Low-Cost Gaming for Everyone

The launch on Base will provide YGG players with low-fee transactions for future projects, directly supporting YGG’s mission to make web3 gaming inclusive and frictionless. Base’s infrastructure aligns with YGG’s goal of ensuring that both new and experienced community members can easily engage within the YGG ecosystem.

“With YGG on Base, we’re pushing web3 games closer to the community and making the experience rewarding for our members,” says Gabby Dizon, co-founder of YGG.

Bridge to Base

First deployed on Ethereum in 2021, the YGG token was also launched on Polygon in 2022 and Ronin in 2024. To keep the YGG ecosystem accessible to the web3 community, the YGG token has launched on Base, with a YGG/ETH liquidity pool now on Aerodrome, Base’s native DEX.

Soon, all YGG holders who wish to transfer their YGG tokens between Ethereum and Base can bridge via the official Superchain Bridges, Superbridge and Brid.gg

Building the Future of Gaming Onchain

Base is rapidly becoming a web3 gaming hub, with projects like Parallel, Iskra, Sapien and Super Champs active on the L2 and games such as AVALON looking to launch in the coming six months. YGG is looking to leverage this partnership to bring more of YGG’s activities onchain, scaling its vision of community-focused and rewards-driven gameplay. This longstanding collaboration supports a shared mission to make web3 accessible, secure and community-centered, advancing the blockchain-powered future of gaming.

“Partnering with Base was about more than this token launch,” Gabby emphasizes. “It was about creating a foundation where every player can participate and grow their onchain identity. We’re excited to see our community thrive in this next chapter while we continue to add new features and programs built on Base.”

As web3 gaming scales, YGG and Base are championing the new era where “onchain” replaces “online.” From the start of the partnership, Base has offered the security and scalability required for gaming while reinforcing YGG’s commitment to sustainable and verifiable achievements. YGG’s Guild Advancement Program (GAP) and web3 reputation system, enabled by soulbound tokens, exemplify this shift — players now build and earn lasting reputation with each quest they complete. YGG’s Guild Protocol signifies the next major milestone for Base’s goal of bringing 1 billion users onchain.
