Yield Guild Games invests in games and in-game assets / virtual goods (NFTs). YGG also provides scholarships to Axie Infinity players, who then generate yield by playing the game (supply-side fees).

Yield Guild Games is a play-to-earn gaming guild for blockchain based economies. Yield Guild Games was founded by Gabby Dizon, Beryl Li, Owl of Moistness and launched in 2021.

YGG tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total earnings generated by the players (revenue). Yield Guild Game's investors include a16z, Fabric, Delphi Digital, etc.

# Yield Guild Games Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The YGG token supply maximum metric represents the predetermined maximum number of tokens that can ever exist for the Yield Guild Games (YGG) protocol. This is a static configuration metric that reflects the token's maximum supply as defined at launch, rather than a calculated value from blockchain activity. The metric answers the question "What is the maximum possible supply of YGG tokens?" and provides this value consistently across all time periods from the token's launch date forward.

## 2. Data sources

- **Token configuration data**: Predetermined maximum supply value set at token creation (1 billion tokens)
- **Token launch metadata**: Official launch date and timestamp information
- **Protocol specifications**: Static token economics parameters defined by the YGG protocol

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Static maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Define the hardcoded maximum supply value for YGG tokens
- **Logic**: Set the maximum token supply to exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens (1 billion), representing the total number of tokens that can ever be minted according to the YGG tokenomics design
- **Key fields**: `token_supply_maximum` field containing the static value of 1 billion tokens

### Component B: Launch date configuration
- **Purpose**: Establish the official launch date for the YGG token
- **Logic**: Set the launch timestamp to July 27, 2021 at 00:00:00 UTC, marking when the token became active and the maximum supply specification became relevant
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` field with the precise launch date and time

### Component C: Time granularity setup
- **Purpose**: Define the time period granularity for the metric
- **Logic**: Set the timestamp grain to daily level to ensure the maximum supply value is available as a daily metric
- **Key fields**: `timestamp_grain` field set to 'day' for daily reporting consistency

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The static values (maximum supply, launch date, and time grain) are combined into a single configuration record
- **Currency conversion**: No currency conversion is needed as this represents token quantity, not monetary value
- **Time aggregation**: The fill-forward strategy propagates the same maximum supply value across all dates from the launch date onward, ensuring consistent availability of this static parameter
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens for all time periods from July 27, 2021 forward, representing the unchanging maximum possible supply of YGG tokens as defined by the protocol's tokenomics
