Crypto-style Quests, Free Load Rewards: YGG, BreederDAO, Ed3N, & Smart Go Big with GIG!
Aiming to onboard up to 60 million Filipinos by offering an immediate link of communication and incentivization through their mobile phones, BreederDAO, YGG Pilipinas, and ED3N Ventures introduced GIG, a platform where users can earn points and exchange them for free load daily.
What’s the significance: Unlike crypto airdrops, where points will be converted into tokens with unknown values if they are paldo or paldon’t, GIG allows users to farm points and earn loads.
About GIG: GIG is a questing platform that eyes to turn mobile telecom operators into channel partners for distribution and user acquisition.
- Why telecom firms? GIG is said to leverage the reach and trust of telecom companies to give projects an opportunity to scale users and direct them to do specific tasks.
- The problem GIG is trying to solve: In an X post, BreederDAO CEO Renz Chong said that many web3 projects only attract the same user base repeatedly, which is why mass adoption is slow.
- GIG tries to attract even those non-web3 natives because of the rewards it offers, which are loads.
“We’re starting our journey in the Philippines, where the adoption of digital tech is unmatched. Filipinos rank #1 worldwide for daily mobile phone screen time, reflecting the nation’s digital-first mindset and strong foothold.”
Renz Chong, Chief Executive Officer, BreederDAO
Entities Involved:
- BreederDAO: A Philippine-based blockchain startup that creates, breeds, and crafts crypto game NFTs to help gaming guilds scale their operations.
- YGG Pilipinas: The local community of Yield Guild Games, a gaming guild protocol focused on crypto gaming.
- ED3N Ventures: A crypto-focused venture studio that works with startups to develop a business strategy, and to provide expertise, funding, and access to its network of partners.
As of this writing, Smart and TNT already offer load promos in exchange for points earned from quests on GIG.
- The three entities involved see GIG as attracting more local telco players with the future expansion on the international level.
“All 3 parties have been proud champions of the Philippines’ reputation as a leader in web3 gaming, and we’re committed to continuing to be the gateway for web3 projects to enter the Philippines. GIG is a continuation of this vision — doing what we do best: leveraging our expertise in web3 and the local market to create engaging, impactful experiences and products that resonate with real users.”

“The rising cost of mobile data has made accessing the internet increasingly challenging for many. In fact, the Philippines has some of the highest mobile data prices in Southeast Asia, creating a barrier for widespread connectivity. With GIG, projects can drive engagement through social media participation, app downloads, video views, in-app milestones (and many more to come) — all in a gamified experience where users are rewarded with airtime load, data, and other incentives (e.g cash, discounts, items).”
