Shaping the Future of Work: YGG’s Vision and Strategic Roadmap for the Philippine Ecosystem
The Echelon Philippines 2024 fireside chat titled ‘Shaping the Future of Work: YGG’s Vision and Strategic Roadmap for the Philippine Ecosystem’ featured insights from Beryl Li, Co-Founder of Yield Guild Games (YGG), with Thaddeus Koh, Co-Founder and Co-Founder and Head of Events at e27, serving as moderator.
The discussion focused on how YGG is redefining employment in the Philippines by using gig economy principles to empower individuals to join a decentralised global workforce.
Li outlined YGG’s shift from a gaming guild into a broader “future of work” model by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies. Originally established during the COVID-19 pandemic, YGG has grown to over seven million community members in the Philippines.

Li described how YGG leverages NFTs as in-game assets and is expanding its scope into areas like data labelling and lending processing power. In this system, users earn “soul-bound tokens” by completing specific tasks, building a digital reputation that can support their credibility in a decentralised job market.
The discussion also emphasised on the role of human input in AI and the potential for skill development within emerging markets like the Philippines. YGG’s platform aims to create economic opportunities by matching skills with global tasks, fostering an inclusive, scalable community that opens up new possibilities for economic empowerment in the digital age.
