🪙 $WILD Fuel Ecomony

We have made significant strides towards supercharging the $WILD token economy. This is not a metaphor or hyperbole; we are talking about the integration of physical and virtual energy in the truest sense. There are three primary challenges we wanted to solve to create a sustainable token economy for the Wilder Nation:

1. Real Utility: Many tokens masquerade as having utility when in fact they offer no meaningful use over more liquid and widely held currencies (such as USD, BTC and ETH). We want to ensure $WILD is tightly coupled to the operation of the metaverse itself, that it is highly differentiated from other tokens, and generates real value to those who choose to utilize its productive power.

2. Real Cost: The closer an instrument is valued relative to its underlying base resource cost, the more defensible the value of the instrument. When you purchase gold, you are purchasing latent energy that can be converted into goods far into the future. When you purchase oil, you are purchasing a commodity that can be converted into productive energy and metabolized by an existing network of global supply chains. When purchasing BTC, part of what you are paying for is the cost of the underlying energy required to perform the computational work necessary to secure the Bitcoin network. Valuable commodities are backed by tangible value IRL. Many cryptocurrencies today are backed by no underlying resource and generate minimal productive capacity, acting as an unnecessary intermediary between users and computational resources.

3. Real Incentives: Staking alone is not a sustainable incentive to build a real economy. Staking as it relates to most tokens can be looked at as a way to pay token holders to not sell their token, creating the illusion of limited supply beyond the actual productive capacity of their economy. In healthy economies, people convert currencies into goods and services that enhance and expand the breadth and usefulness of what is available within that economy. Real incentives encourage investment to build, grow and sustain economy (and in ideal conditions make life better). In the case of currencies, their goal should be to enable growth and abundance over scarcity. If rewards are distributed to everyone equally without an adequate mechanism for allocating scarce capital on a relative effective basis, the economy will eventually just collapse in on itself. We’ve seen this with many of the early token protocols and Web3 games. Real incentives encourage money to flow productively.

One of the unique benefits of Wilder World and the metaverse compared to many existing cryptocurrencies are:

1. Experiential Value: In the most basic sense, Wilder World is creating a game that we believe will become significantly better than what is structurally possible within traditional games. Gaming is already the largest segment of the entertainment industry, eclipsing movies, music and live events combined. The metaverse further accelerates this paradigm by bringing the medium of gaming to large segments of the existing economy, such as big tech, communication, education, finance and possibly even the governance of new nation states. Irrespective of an extrinsic token economy, Wilder World must stand on its own as a fulfilling experience that people are willing to spend time and money on. This same path does not exist for many of the crypto use-cases and NFT projects we’ve seen to date.

2. Virtual Ownership: The current construct of NFTs is closer to art or gambling than physical goods, services and infrastructure. Art represents a small fraction of the overall economy. The enablement of virtual goods opens a new paradigm of experience, where assets can be used both for entertainment and productive capacity in virtual worlds. In theory these assets should be significantly more useful than the existing category of NFTs, most of which do not exist or are incapable of existing within a complex and useful virtual environment. They will pivot, but doing so is not easy in the context of a complex game environment with years of necessary development.

3. Non-extractive Productivity: As we continue to experience environmental issues and resources become limited within the physical world, it is possible we move to a form of non-extractive capitalism, where individuals and DAOs can create value at a lower marginal and ecological cost compared to current economic models. This could accelerate climate goals and support with global sustainability, and possibly lead to new forms of meaningful creative and intellectual productivity.

In short, making Wilder World enjoyable, introducing the capacity for real virtual ownership, and creating opportunities for wealth creation using non-extractive forms of productive capacity could create a systemic shift in global economy and human flourishing.

We believe we are in the middle of this shift and that it will enter its next phase with the useful convergence of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and XR. Despite advancements being made in these fields however, it is not possible for existing game studios and franchises to integrate at the rate and cost technology is developing at (e.g., $60 for a game). AI, L1/L2 crypto-transactions, GPU streaming and massive virtual concurrency/persistence are novel technologies that require significant expertise that fall outside traditional industry bounds. These technologies have a real cost in terms of units of underlying energy and compute, and therefore are economically infeasible for traditional games to rapidly adopt. Crypto will be the natural enabler.

When designing the next version of WILD’s token economy, we integrated three critical layers that address the challenges and opportunities stated above:

1. Real Utility → Integrated Gameplay: It is important that gameplay loops are natural and do not interrupt immersion within the Wilder World experience. Adding paywalls and in-game transactions can disrupt gameplay, limit fun and detract players. It was important for us to find a way to generate value for the $WILD economy in order to cover the costs of operating the simulation, with the aim of also making Wilder World free to play, while preventing a pay-to-win economic model. Players should be able to start with nothing and earn their way to the promise land through skill, persistence and calculated risk-taking. It is important the game is fun and the economy can exist seamlessly when playing the game (while also managing a minimal inflation rate). In this dev log we unveil the vehicle charging and GWEI station gameplay loop, which elegantly ties gameplay directly into the $WILD resource economy. Players will be able to earn fuel in Wiami, but if they do not use their time productively they will need to pay at the pump with capital from outside the game. New players will be free to walk around for free (or ride bikes or skateboards), but those wanting to play the game at a higher level will need to engage within the economy and find a way to get involved. This is the first of many gameplay loops that will directly connect WILD to the gameplay experience, and will serve as a core game design mechanism as we build out Wilder World.

2. Real Cost → Energy Abstraction: At the core, in-game blockchain transactions, GPU streaming, AI powered NPCs, and many more aspects of running the simulation require energy. Similar to Ethereum’s GWEI, which is a cost abstraction charged in Ether that represents the amount of gas needed for underlying network computational operations (transactions), we are working on an abstraction that packages all of the costs associated with running the Wilder World simulation. This grounds our token economics in real world costs (compute) and enables us to leverage cutting edge technologies to create a superior experience than is economically-feasible within traditional games. Similar to Ethereum, energy costs will fluctuate based on the network load of Wilder World as well as be impacted by a players individual settings (e.g., graphics quality, AI complexity, etc.).

3. Real Value → Creative Value Generation: The most interesting aspect of Wilder World may eventually be the ability for creators to earn real world income by leveraging their creativity with community generated digital content. This content should enhance gameplay, experiences and the productive capacity of Wilder World, reinforcing the tenants of a healthy, useful and productive economy. We plan to do this by creating a free market within Wilder World, governed only by the physics and technical limitations of our underling technology stack. Players should be incentivized to grow and improve everything about Wilder World and reap the benefits of doing so.

To summarize, our strategy related to $WILD’s fuel economy in six points:

1. All transactions in Wilder World happen in $WILD.

2. Fuel is a global cost abstraction that enables the real-time pricing of all associated cost inputs required to power the Wilder World simulation.

3. Fuel pricing is dynamic, based on the underlying network, compute and technological costs to operate the world.

4. Wilder World will be free to play, but higher energy activities will integrate fuel as part of the resource model.

5. It will be possible to earn fuel, but one must use their time productively to do so (just like IRL).

6. Our intention is that all core gameplay loops tie back to the underlying energy required to operate the latest technologies with limited compromise, enabling the creation of a superior experience by leveraging a structural advantage over traditional gaming models.
