Decentralized gaming startup Yield Guild Games (YGG) sold all 25 million of its native tokens at break-neck speed.
- The YGG tokens raised $12,496,000 in Circle’s USD-pegged stablecoin, USDC, according to a blog post on Wednesday.
- The sale was conducted via open-source smart contracts platform MISO on the SushiSwap exchange. It began at 14:00 UTC (10:00 am EST) and lasted a total of 31 seconds.
- With the completion of its token sale, the launch of the YGG decentralized autonomous organization is now “officially underway,” the company said.
- YGG touts itself as a “play-to-earn gaming guild,” attracting gamers to its platform in order to earn tokens through blockchain-based economies.
- First up in its order of business will be the distribution of YGG tokens among its community as a means of rewarding early participation, YGG said.
- Up to 45% of the total YGG token supply is reserved for the community and will be “slowly dispersed” over a four-year period.
- As of Wednesday, YGG tokens are available for trading on decentralized exchanges.
- The move comes shortly on the heels of a $1.3 million raise in March which garnered interest from the likes of Delphi Digital and BlockTower Capital, among others.
- The project also raised $4 million in June, led by Bitkraft Ventures with participation from ParaFi Capital and Mechanism Capital.
