As part of this partnership, YGG and Iskra have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), that establishes a collaborative relationship between the two parties. This includes conducting joint marketing campaigns via Discord events and AMAs, as well as increasing user participation through YGG’s questing systems. Having created quests for leading web3 games such as Pixels, Big Time and My Pet Hooligan since July 2022, YGG has completed four seasons of the Guild Advancement Program (GAP), which acknowledges the value that members bring to the guild across a range of games. 

“We understand how significant the Southeast Asian market is for web3 adoption and believe that the Iskra platform will play a significant role in onboarding gamers and developers alike. This partnership marks an important step for web3 gaming, as we get to show how effective the questing model is through Iskra’s growing platform of web3 titles. We look forward to creating engaging quests that will ensure player retention, build their on-chain reputation and contribute towards a shared vision for the ecosystem,” said YGG co-founder Gabby Dizon.

YGG has also engaged in a YGG/ISK token swap, enabling the guild to purchase assets and pay for services in the Iskra ecosystem, as well as participate in governance through the Iskra DAO on behalf of the YGG community. Additionally, the guild will be a Pioneer NFT holder to be onboarded to the Iskra Community Tier System, a ranking system that compensates community members based on their contribution to the platform.

Quest participants will be able to acquire achievements as Soulbound NFTs to build their reputation within YGG and in-game assets from titles such as Clashmon: Ignition, Norma in Metaland, Three Kingdoms Multiverse and WOW Casino.

"We are pleased to enter into this collaboration to concentrate our strengths on activating Iskra's game and community economy, as well as building a successful web3 experience for YGG members. In particular, we consider this partnership highly meaningful, involving concrete and tightly integrated cooperation such as PNFT holdings and token swaps. We plan to collaborate wholeheartedly on this foundation to craft powerful success narratives."

Founded in 2021, Iskra has raised over $40 million in seed investments to date. The platform has also partnered with Indonesia's largest game developer, Agate, and entered into a strategic partnership with Vietnam's leading blockchain company, VeriChain, and Coinbase for the launch of its Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) project, Base.

The team behind Iskra brings decades of combined experience and specialized expertise in the gaming industry, building game networks for global brands such as Disney, Nexon, Netmarble, Tencent and Hangame.
