What Matters: The seven projects in DN’s original 2022 overview are historical examples, not a current market-cap ranking or income recommendation. Token identities and project mandates have changed. This update corrects the Merit Circle and GuildFi references, withdraws unverified scholarship figures and revenue splits, and provides a worksheet for assessing current participation terms.
What a gaming guild does
A gaming guild is a community that coordinates play, resources or participation in games. Some blockchain-gaming models have included access to in-game assets and arrangements for sharing rewards. Buying a guild token, joining its community and entering an asset-sharing agreement are different activities with different rights. None establishes a dependable income.
Seven historical names, with explicit limits
| Original name | Correction or research boundary |
|---|---|
| Merit Circle (MC) | The project’s December 2023 update documents the MC-to-BEAM migration and transfer of token utility to BEAM. The old MC listing references are not retained as buying instructions. Project migration record |
| Yield Guild Games (YGG) | Retained as a name covered in the 2022 article. Earlier scholar totals, game counts and income-sharing percentages have not been reverified and are withdrawn. |
| GuildFi (GF) | Zentry’s April 2024 announcement documents GF-to-ZENT migration. The historical GuildFi label should not be mistaken for a current token or programme description. Project migration record |
| BlockchainSpace (GUILD) | Historical inclusion only. Current programme availability, token utility, listings and financial support have not been assessed. |
| BlackPool (BPT) | Historical inclusion only. Earlier supported-game counts and asset-leasing descriptions are not verified current terms. |
| UNIX Gaming (UNIX) | Historical inclusion only. Scholarship totals, supported games and revenue arrangements have not been reverified. |
| Avocado DAO (AVG) | Historical inclusion only. Earlier scholar, partnership and community counts are withdrawn as current metrics. |
The migration records establish historical changes, not that a migration portal remains open today. Do not use an old migration deadline or ticker alone to identify an asset. We have not verified current contracts, exchange pairs or eligibility. Removing the old exchange referral links avoids presenting historical listings as an active commercial route.
DN participation-terms worksheet
| Question | Evidence to record | Reason to pause |
|---|---|---|
| What is being offered? | Named game, programme, legal counterparty and dated terms. | A token purchase is described as equivalent to a job or scholarship. |
| Who controls the assets? | Ownership, custody, access permissions and return conditions. | You cannot explain who can remove access or move the assets. |
| What is the net outcome? | Realised rewards minus rental, revenue share, transfer costs and taxes, with hours recorded. | Projected token rewards are treated as cash income. |
| How can you leave? | Termination, asset return and withdrawal conditions. | Exit rules are absent or can change without a clear process. |
This worksheet is a record of missing evidence, not an approval score. A completed form does not establish safety or profitability. Do not supply wallet recovery information or pay a fee on the assumption that an unverified scholarship will provide income.
What changed
Removed the market-cap ranking implication, unsupported current participation statistics, fixed revenue splits, old exchange referrals and the claim that this is a great way to earn a living. The seven names remain for historical continuity. No current operational certification or new ranking is issued.
Methodology and corrections
The original URL, author, publication date and featured image are preserved. This correction distinguishes documented changes from unresolved current availability. Source descriptions are not independent operational tests. The worksheet is a research aid, not a recommendation or guarantee.
Change log, 15 October 2026: corrected the claims identified above, withdrew unverified current rankings and commercial routes, and added primary-source links and a DN research worksheet. No historical publication date has been relabelled as a new article.
