The Economy
The Economy is the second pillar of the Wilder World Vision Paper, detailing a player-owned system where WILD, NFTs, and DAOs drive trade, governance, and long-term value creation.
💲The Economy
The Economy is the second pillar of the Wilder World Vision Paper. Powered by the $WILD token, it establishes a decentralized, deflationary system where gameplay, creativity, and ownership directly shape value. Metropolis—the economic framework of Wilder World—connects resources, NFTs, DAOs, and industries into a player-driven economy optimized for the Metaverse.
The $WILD Token
At the heart of Wilder World lies $WILD, a multi-chain, deflationary utility token that powers every transaction and experience.
Primary utilities:
Transactions: Used to purchase assets including land, vehicles, clothing, fuel, and gear. Transaction fees are burned, reducing supply.
Resources: Required to mint resources such as iron, copper, and ore. These materials fuel the in-game economy and item creation.
Governance: Staked $WILD grants voting rights in the Wilder World DAO, enabling citizens to shape policy and direction.
Every transaction strengthens the ecosystem by burning $WILD, aligning incentives between players, builders, and investors.
Metropolis
Metropolis is Wilder World’s decentralized economic architecture, connecting $WILD to a network of protocols, DAOs, and resource systems. It transforms:
Participation → Value
Creativity → Commerce
Ownership → Influence
Key Features:
Industry DAOs: Each Genesis NFT collection anchors an industry (e.g., Wheels, Beasts, Kicks). DAOs govern production, supply chains, tokenomics, and royalties.
Deflationary Loop: 80% of ecosystem transactions are burned, 20% directed to DAO treasuries.
Player Activity = Token Health: Mining, crafting, and asset creation drive scarcity while DAO governance reinvests into the ecosystem.
This structure mirrors real-world economies but is optimized for decentralization and long-term sustainability.
Industries
Wilder World’s economy is organized into nine industries represented by Genesis NFT collections, including Wheels, Crafts, Beasts, Cribs, Kicks, PALs, Land, and Avatars. Each industry:
Anchors gameplay functions such as racing, combat, living, or mining.
Issues assets with both utility and collectible value.
Evolves through its DAO, aligning community governance with in-game production.
Together, these industries form a corporate layer of decentralized coordination, with interlinked supply and demand across the metaverse.
Trinity Rewards
The Trinity Rewards Program provides enhanced benefits to players who hold three distinct Genesis assets across different industries.
Rewards include:
GENs: AI-powered companions supporting mining, guidance, and data operations.
Trinity Totems: Wearable relics tied to lore, with evolving in-game and physical utility.
Genesis Land: Early land plots on Wiami’s Island, central to the in-world economy.
Future Benefits: Access to the Mainland, exclusive Trinity Avatars, and Trinity Island.
Trinity Keepers gain deep, integrated gameplay advantages and early access to new realms.
Land & Resources
Land ownership underpins the Metropolis economy. Each parcel in Wiami contains extractable resources that fuel the game’s supply chain.
The four-stage cycle:
Mine: Extract raw materials (iron, copper, bauxite, etc.) using rigs or GENs.
Refine: Convert into usable materials at refineries.
Build: Craft tools, vehicles, weapons, or structures through blueprints.
Sell: Trade finished goods on the Wilder World Marketplace or open NFT exchanges.
This fully onchain economy ties gameplay directly to resource scarcity, strategy, and market value.
Packs
Wilder Packs are seasonal releases of limited-edition, randomized NFTs across industries. Each pack contains three assets that:
Are crafted from in-game resources and blueprints.
Are functional in-world and tradable as collectibles.
Follow an Era + Season model, preserving long-term rarity after each era concludes.
Revenue from Pack sales feeds into Labyrinth, an algorithmic system that burns a portion of $WILD, reinforcing deflationary tokenomics.
Tokenomics Overview
Launched in 2021 with a fixed supply of 500M tokens, $WILD fuels every layer of Wilder World’s economy. Its deflationary design ensures long-term value by aligning gameplay activity, resource creation, and DAO governance with reduced supply and ecosystem growth.
Summary
The Wilder World economy is a living, decentralized system where $WILD powers all transactions, resources, and governance. Through Metropolis, Industry DAOs, Trinity Rewards, and resource-driven gameplay, the economy is self-sustaining, deflationary, and community-owned—transforming participation into lasting value.

🌆Metropolis
Metropolis is Wilder World’s decentralized economic protocol, designed to turn gameplay into programmable value and create a self-sustaining, deflationary economy. It links the $WILD token to Industry DAOs, asset pipelines, and onchain resources, ensuring that every action, asset, and identity within Wilder World is tokenized and governed by its citizens.
Core Mechanics
Economic Flywheel: $WILD is locked and redistributed through gameplay, staking, and marketplace activity.
Operation TITAN: Early buybacks and treasury accumulation reinforced the launch of Metropolis. These mechanics now run perpetually inside the system, burning supply and rewarding long-term participants.
Deflationary by Design: Every action—from purchases to creator sales—feeds back into the loop, reducing circulating supply and strengthening the economy.
Tokenized Assets and Tradeable Economies
Every in-game object (land, vehicles, avatars, weapons, even parts of gear) exists as an onchain NFT with gameplay utility.
Assets are tradeable across all modes, ensuring true ownership and interoperability.
The system is built to prevent “pay-to-win” dynamics—valuable assets can be earned through skill and participation, balancing competition and fun.
Packs and Distribution
Weekly Pack Drops: New assets are introduced via Packs, obtainable through purchases (crypto/fiat) or leaderboard rewards.
Utility & Progression: Packs contain functional items spanning industries and directly impact gameplay.
Revenue Loop: 100% of Pack sales buy back $WILD, with 2.5% burned permanently; remaining tokens are redistributed to stakers.
Rewards, Staking and Fees
Skill-Based Rewards: 50% of Packs are distributed via play-to-earn performance.
Staking: Players and collectors stake $WILD to receive redistributed value from Pack sales and activity.
Fee Model:
Primary sales: Buybacks and 2.5% permanent burn.
Secondary sales: 2.5% marketplace fee, fully burned.
Creator sales (via wiami.fun): 50% to creators, 50% burned.
Land, Resources and Crafting
Land parcels in Wiami are not just virtual plots—they contain onchain resources backed by $WILD, anchoring digital scarcity.
Players must mine, refine, and craft with these resources to create new assets, tying production to real effort.
This system ensures scarcity, prevents unchecked inflation, and mirrors real-world supply chains within a decentralized framework.
Conclusion
Metropolis is more than a game economy—it is the foundation of a new digital civilization. By combining tokenized assets, deflationary mechanics, and resource-backed systems, it ensures that Wilder World remains open, transparent, and governed by its participants. As the ecosystem grows, billions of assets will flow through Metropolis, powering an interoperable, player-owned future.
