About YGG Play
YGG Play is the gaming platform developed by Yield Guild Games (YGG), one of the largest and most influential gaming guilds in the Web3 space. The platform enables players to participate in play-to-earn gaming ecosystems with secure NFT ownership, in-game economies, and reward distribution mechanisms powered by smart contracts.
Security Requirements
As YGG Play prepared to expand their gaming infrastructure, ensuring the security and reliability of their smart contract ecosystem was paramount. The team engaged FailSafe to conduct a comprehensive security audit focused on their smart contracts responsible for NFT mechanics, in-game economies, and reward distribution systems.
The audit scope encompassed critical security considerations including NFT minting and transfer logic, token economics, staking mechanisms, access controls, and protection against common GameFi vulnerabilities such as reward manipulation and economic exploits.
Audit Methodology
FailSafe's security team conducted a multi-layered audit approach tailored to GameFi requirements and YGG Play's specific platform architecture:
Threat Modeling
Identified critical assets, enumerated potential threats, and assessed vulnerabilities specific to GameFi and play-to-earn economic models.
Manual Code Review
Line-by-line analysis of business logic, access controls, NFT mechanics, and EVM-specific security considerations.
Architecture Analysis
Evaluated trust assumptions, economic model integrity, and the interaction between various smart contract components.
Edge Case Testing
Rigorous testing for extreme inputs, operational scenarios, and potential attack vectors including reentrancy, reward manipulation, and economic exploits.
Confidential Partnership
In accordance with YGG Play's security and business requirements, the detailed findings and specific vulnerabilities identified during this audit remain confidential. Our partnership focused on addressing critical security considerations across multiple severity levels, with the development team implementing fixes and documented acknowledgments for all identified issues.
The audit process included comprehensive validation of fixes, multiple rounds of review, and collaborative remediation support to ensure the platform met production security standards.
Partnership Impact
