Bayz is a Web3 gaming publisher and former play-to-earn gaming guild that was co-founded by João Borges and Matt Rutledge in September 2021, focused on Brazil and Latin America. Bayz's Twitter Score is 14 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #67,237 among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Bayz was co-founded as a blockchain gaming company with an original model built around acquiring play-to-earn game assets and lending them to guild members under a revenue-sharing model. The organization raised a $4 million seed round led by Yield Guild Games, with participation from BITKRAFT Ventures, Delphi Digital, Valor Capital Group, Ascensive Assets, Arca, and Fabric Ventures, alongside individual crypto and gaming investors. Bayz committed $100,000 from that seed round to an initial community fund for social-impact initiatives tied to play-to-earn gaming.
Bayz planned to issue a governance token, with up to 45% of the total supply reserved for its community, though no ticker or confirmed launch date appeared in available sources. In January 2022, Bayz acquired SOMA, an NFT gaming guild, DAO, and educational-content platform. That same year, Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin joined the organization's board as a Strategic Advisor. Bayz was formerly an official partner of The Sandbox in Brazil and was previously affiliated with Wildlife Studios. Bayz's last recorded publication dates to April 2023, and its former domain now hosts unrelated content, placing the organization in an inactive classification.
Bayz's portfolio includes Footium and Elfin Metaverse. Bayz has published 2,971 posts and has been mentioned by 39 accounts across 85 total mentions.
