Club Essential is here: access to YNG benefits for every budget

On Friday, November 21st, Club Essential arrives—a new tier starting at 120 YNG. Here’s why we created it and what it means for you.

If you’ve been following Young Platform for a while, you’ll have noticed that the YNG token has appreciated significantly throughout 2025, making entry into our Clubs more expensive as a result. It’s an excellent signal for the ecosystem, but it’s also a challenge.

Earlier this year, we introduced dynamic rebalancing (a mechanism that updates Club costs every month) precisely to prevent benefits from becoming completely inaccessible.

However, despite this balancing mechanism, the strong and constant interest in YNG has led to a significant increase in the Euro value required to access the Clubs since the beginning of the year.

This is fantastic news for the ecosystem’s health, but it also highlights a challenge. With the amount of YNG required to lock for Club Bronze occasionally exceeding €1,000, we realised we were missing an accessible entry point for everyone. That’s why, starting Friday, November 21st, 2025, we are officially launching Club Essential.

What is Club Essential?

It’s the new gateway to our ecosystem. It’s the essential package for anyone wanting to start benefiting from the Young Platform universe with a smaller commitment.

The cost? Only 120 YNG.

This new tier is our answer for those asking for a way to get serious without having to wait until they reach the Club Bronze threshold.

The Essential benefits

What do you get by locking 120 YNG? A set of fundamental benefits designed for daily platform use:

• 5% discount on trading fees.
• +1% additional APY on staking.
• 2 Smart Trades available.
• The monthly Market Report.
• The full version of the Quarterly Report on Young (YNG).

As for benefits in collaboration with our brand partners, they are currently in development; we are working to define specific partnerships dedicated to this new entry-level.

A sarting point, not the destination

Think of Club Essential as your first step into our world. It’s the perfect way to “test drive” the benefits with minimal commitment and understand how it works.

New features released in the future will follow the same logic: benefits will always be scaled according to the Club level. Essential guarantees basic access, but higher Clubs will always offer greater benefits.

Once you’ve tested the benefits, the natural next step will be to continue your journey and upgrade to the “OG” Clubs (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum). These tiers remain, of course, much more attractive to serious users, offering exponentially higher discounts, APY bonuses, and cashback.

How does the entry cost work?

Wondering if the 120 YNG cost will change? Yes. Remember that the YNG cost for all Clubs (including Essential) is updated on the first Tuesday of every month. Through the dynamic rebalancing mechanism, we aim to keep the Euro value of the subscription as stable as possible. If the YNG price goes up, you’ll need fewer YNG to join; if it goes down, you’ll need more. A reminder: just like with all Clubs, the 120 YNG are not spent but simply locked on the platform.

Are you ready to turn your YNG into tangible benefits?
