2023 at BlockchainSpace: A Year of Breakthroughs and the Path to 2024

5 min readJan 6, 2024

As we step into 2024 and open a new chapter, it’s a great time to look back at how BlockchainSpace evolved in 2023.

This year, we have successfully expanded from our roots in GameFi to a broader scope that now includes the burgeoning Creator Economy.

Anchored firmly in our mission to empower communities of all kinds with pioneering Web3 tools and solutions, and building upon a vision of bridging web2 and web3, our 2023 journey is a testament to innovation, adaptability, and strategic growth.

Here are some of the key highlights of our year:

Reinforcing Our Foothold in GameFi

Guilds Hall, our refreshed Guild Partner Program, has fortified our presence in the GameFi realm. An exclusive assembly ground for founders and leaders of active player communities, Guilds Hall is has a growing community of over 20+ guilds, each with very active player bases.

Now falling under the banner of Joe Josue, CEO of Metasports, one of BlockchainSpace’s companies, Web3 gaming guilds can expect an exciting era of innovation and strategic development.

Embracing the Creator Economy

Our web3-powered Creator Circle brings together a collective of over 200 creators with an aggregate following of 200+ million. This enables us to extend our horizons and increase our influence in web2.

Strategic Partnerships

Partnering with Smart Communications, the Philippines’ premier telecom provider, has been particularly momentous. Under the shared vision of #Web3ForAll, our collaborations allowed us to introduce web3 to a broader audience, showcasing the potential of engaging diverse communities through web3 in unprecedented ways.

Travel: TNT Petmaloop Challenge for a Guinness World Record
PPop, Kpop, and KDrama Fandoms: Ultimate Fandom Showdown at Asia Artist Awards 2023, dubbed as Asia’s Oscars and Grammy Awards

Launching our Flagship Product, YEY

YEY is an experience platform that empowers brands and community owners to engage and reward their superfans in new and exciting ways through our digital collectibles, Shinys.

For brands and community owners: Shinys offer a way to identify and reward superfans, providing insights through task-specific data.
For community members: Shinys open up possibilities for real-world rewards and benefits from their favorite creators, games, and brands. With Shinys, everyone in a community gets a more rewarding, interactive, and fun experience.

Since its debut last August 2023, YEY has attracted significant user adoption, with 60+ communities onboarded and more than 10,000 Shinys minted over the last five months.

Currently in Pre-Alpha, YEY’s latest release includes self-service features, enhancing our platform’s scalability. Community owners are now taking the lead, creating, managing, and rewarding their communities their way.

We are rolling out more game-changing updates very soon, including a $GUILD buyback feature linked to Shinys minted on YEY. Stay tuned for our next product release for more information!

Making $GUILD More Valuable Than Ever

Underpinning all of our big moves, programs, and product launches, is $GUILD. This year, we have updated our $GUILD tokenomics and released a comprehensive whitepaper for YEY, laying a solid foundation for sustained growth and innovation in the years ahead. This move places $GUILD at the heart of the YEY ecosystem.

“In 2023, we redefined the role of $GUILD, ensuring it’s not just a token but a cornerstone of our community engagement across the BlockchainSpace Group. By introducing new token sinks and enhancing token utility, we’ve created a dynamic system that continuously drives value for our community and stakeholders.” — Peter Ing

As we continuously improve and expand on our offerings and product sophistication, $GUILD grows in importance and utility, making it more valuable in real, useful ways.

We are stepping into 2024 not just riding on the momentum we’ve built; the team is committed to accelerating toward even greater heights. The robust foundation we built last year fuels our ambition.

With expanded market reach, strategic partnerships, innovative products, and updated tokenomics, we are confidently poised to deliver continued growth and value creation for our community.

Thank you for being an integral part of our story and for your continued belief in what we do. Join us as the BlockchainSpace Group conquers 2024 and soars towards more shared successes.
