The Token ($YOH)

Our utility token, used to power the gameplay-oriented rewards ecosystem
$YOH is an in-game, utility token native to the Yokai Kingdom ecosystem.
It is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing this decentralized medium for players to transact with this utility token freely, while retaining full digital ownership.
The philosophy behind the Yokai Kingdom gaming ecosystem is that players have genuine sovereignty over their own digital collectables and any $YOH that they may accrue by playing the game.
Why is this important?
Virtually everything that we think we own is actually in the possession and control of somebody else. When it comes to gaming, it is the studio that holds your profile on their servers and can change the data as they please. We are putting the control in the players hands by using tokenization to ensure that no one can devalue your time and energy by changing the data of your digital collectibles, "printing" more, or moving around anything in your account.
Your progress, including earned $YOH, loadout items, and Genesis Heroes, are uniquely yours!
Important: The $YOH token has no intended, assumed or inherent value (1 YOH = 1 YOH). It is for use only as an 'in-game' currency mechanism with no real-world value outside of the Yokai Kingdom 'metaverse'. Please see our full Terms & Conditions.
