For Mench Dizon, Country Head of YGG Pilipinas, the YGG Web3 Games Summit is poised to be the world’s premier Web3 gaming event. It will give the country’s thriving Web3 gaming community a first-hand glimpse into the future of Web3 gaming.
“The Filipino Web3 gaming community will be among the first to learn about where the industry is headed as blockchain technologies continue to evolve, and how mutual support will be beneficial in the long run as communities become even more interconnected,” Dizon said.
The YGG Web3 Games Summit will also reinforce the country’s position as the epicenter of Web3 adoption, according to Dizon. “The Philippines has consistently been among the top countries with the highest interest in Web3. Most of this interest is driven by the roster of engaging Web3 games that are currently in the market. The fact that global leaders from the Web3 gaming industry are coming all the way to the Philippines for the Web3 Games Summit shows that the world recognizes us as one of the leading countries in Web3 adoption and home to a thriving market for new and upcoming Web3 games,” she explained.
The YGG Web3 Games Summit is part of the gaming guild’s programs and projects to support the country’s Web3 gaming community. YGG has also been at the forefront of promoting Web3 adoption in the Philippines and helping Filipinos unlock opportunities in the Metaverse through Superquests and the Guild Advancement Program (GAP).
