The game leverages a [decentralized autonomous organization](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamified-decentralized-finance) (DAO) which takes money from investors and earned by players to reinvest into the virtual game land and assets. This Yield Guild Games was founded by Gabby Dizon who drew inspiration from other [blockchain-based games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockchain-gaming) like Leisure Economy and Axie Infinity. “A lot of people are desperate to earn money,” said Dizon. “I thought this was something that was scalable, the idea of playing to earn in a gaming guild that cooperates with communities around the world. The guild can play different games that have economies backed by blockchain. The time is ripe for this.” Image Credit: Axie Infinity, Gabby Dizon ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Play-to-earn Gaming:** Blockchain-based games are enabling players to earn real money by playing games through decentralized autonomous organizations. - **Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (daos):** Incorporating DAOs into gaming business models allows for player-owned and controlled economies. - **Virtual Land and Asset Investment:** The use of blockchain technology allows for investment in virtual assets and land within gaming ecosystems. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming:** The gaming industry has the opportunity to incorporate blockchain-based, play-to-earn models to increase engagement and monetization. - **Investment:** Blockchain technology allows for investment opportunities in virtual assets and land, enabling new investment models for investors. - **Financial Technology:** The use of DAOs and cryptocurrencies in gaming ecosystems opens up opportunities for innovative financial technology solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Play-to-Earn Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainmaker-games.md) - [Win-to-Earn Shooting Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/br1-infinite-royale.md) - [NFT-Based Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ember-sword.md) - [Web3 Game Development Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/build-play.md) - [Free-to-Play Blockchain Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axie-infinity-origin.md) - [Blockchain-Based Arena Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fault-elder-orb.md) - [Play-to-Earn Multiplayer Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heroes-of-mavia.md) - [Funded Mobile Role-Playing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azra-games-project-legends.md) - [Browser-Based Casual Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lol-land.md)
