YEY: Reward Communities, But Make it Shiny
BlockchainSpace recently unveiled YEY, a web3-powered experience toolkit by BlockchainSpace that empowers brands, creators, and influencers to reward their fans for their participation and engagement.

Built on the Polygon network and positioned for future integration with public blockchain, YEY’s custodial wallet design offers a glimpse into a future where Web3 technology converges with communal engagement.
