Yield Guild Games Southeast Asia (YGG SEA) is inviting Malaysians to the play-to-earn (P2E) blockchain-based game, Axie Infinity.
YGG SEA is a sub decentralized autonomous organization (subDAO) in the crypto gaming league Yield Guild Games, based in the Philippines.
The guild wants to leverage their first mover advantage in the market and getting as much participation from Malaysians in the virtual economy and at the same time build understanding about the technology they are using.
Players who sign up for an account AKA “obtaining a scholarship from the guild”, will get to play Axie Infinity for free and a share of 70% of their in-game earning.
Typically, gamers get up to 60% of the earnings.
They also get to experience weekly training and discussions via the YGG SEA Discord channel, and participate in lucky draws and get free game tokens.
The rest of the earnings will go to YGG SEA as the owner of the non-fungible token (NFT) used in gameplays.

axie infinity
Axie Infinity is an online NFT-based game developed Vietnamese game studio Sky Mavis. The game has a similar battle mechanic to Pokemon, where the digital pets known as Axie will battle each other.
The game also has a Hearthstone-like deck building aspect.
Players who win these battles and challenges will be rewarded with smooth love potions or SLPs which is a cryptocurrency in the game, players can cash SLP to local currencies.
To cash out SLP, players will need a Ronin wallet which is also necessary for creating an Axie Infinity account.
Instead of cashing out, players could also use the SLP to breed more Axies which can be sold on the game’s market.
The game however, requires players to have at least three Axies to start playing and keep the demand of the pets up.
