Beryl Li | Co-Founder of Yield Guild Games — From Games to Guilds: Navigating the Web3 Journey

In this episode of BeaconLayer Podcast, Kenzi Morikawa sits down with Beryl Li, Co-Founder of Yield Guild Games (YGG) — widely known as one of the largest decentralized networks of gaming guilds.Beryl shares her path into Web3 and what guilds actually do in a tokenized gaming economy: onboarding players, coordinating communities at scale, and bridging the gap between games, education, and ownership. We dig into why Web3 education matters for adoption, how native tokens shape incentives across decentralized gaming ecosystems, and what it really takes to build and manage community in a network as distributed (and fast-moving) as YGG.As a group focused on blockchain games and Web3 learning, YGG has helped redefine how gamers and crypto-native communities organize — creating a home for a rapidly growing mix of players, builders, and enthusiasts.We also touch on Beryl’s recognition and leadership — and what it means to build with long-term conviction in an industry that constantly reinvents itself.This episode was supported by Diksha Wells and Sachi Miyasaki.
