The Latest on YEY: Turning Shinys to Points, Bringing YEY to Discord, and New Community Tools

4 min readOct 9, 2024

The world of fandom is evolving, and YEY is leading the charge. Our latest updates in versions 1.9 and 1.9.1 reimagine how fans interact and communities grow, powered by web3. Let’s explore how these changes will transform your YEY experience.

How Are Shinys Becoming More Valuable?

We’ve integrated our Shinys system with YEY Points, creating a new reward mechanism:

Every Shiny you claim from community campaigns now earns you YEY Points.
Minting rare Shinys could significantly boost your point balance.
Track your progress with the new YEY Points history feature on your profile page.

This integration adds value to each Shiny you mint, contributing to both your collection and points balance. Whether you’re a casual participant or a super-engaged community member, every point represents your journey within your favorite communities.

As outlined in our YEY Points manifesto, we’re committed to expanding the utility of YEY Points. The more active you are on the platform, the more opportunities you’ll have when we unveil new features and rewards in the future, so now is the perfect time to start accumulating!

What’s New for Community Managers?

Community leaders, we’ve added a powerful engagement tool to your Community Dashboard: the Raffle Picker.

Easily set up raffles based on minted Shinys
Recognize and reward your most active members
Encourage community engagement and boost excitement

Our brand new Shiny Raffle Picker simplifies event planning and provides a fair way to distribute rewards, helping you create a more vibrant and engaged community. To try our new tools:

How Is YEY Integrating with Discord?

We’re bringing YEY to Discord, and the first step is already here! Our new Discord bot is ready for you to install now, bringing YEY closer to where you hang out with your community.
