Burning Questions

Each monthly ZINE will conclude with a burning questions section. Those questions will be updated here. A full FAQ section for Wiki is coming soon!

Domino Roadmap

1. Will GENs count towards forming a Trinity to claim a free Avatar?

Yes. A Trinity that includes a GEN will be eligible to claim a free Avatar. As previously discussed however, GENs will not count to Land Drop #1, but will apply to Land Drop #2 and #3.

1. The Trinity Totem snapshot was taken a while ago. When will we receive our Totem NFTs and be able to claim the IRL versions?

The Totem release is part of the Domino roadmap and will occur in two stages. The first will be a free airdrop of the Totem NFT. The second will be the IRL claim, which will incur fees for the material only to make and produce the physical item.

1. When is the next Beasts drop planned for release?

New Wilder Beasts collections are on hold until all existing Beasts are playable in-game. After that the production schedule will resume based on the existing plan.

1. When will be able to stake Wheels and do you have any info on the mechanics? How will staking work? Will there be a vesting period? Can I unstake at any time?

As outline above, Industry Staking will be deployed on meowchain as part of our new rewards systems and Metropolis. Individuals will be able to unstake at any time. There will be vesting, but the exact vesting period has not yet been decided.

1. What are the benefits of owning a Crib versus Land?

Land will enable you to build your own buildings using the resource economy that will be outlined in the GATE and Metropolis papers. Wilders will be able to build buildings based on different zoning types and then sell or rent their units. Cribs can be thought of as an individual unit, or the final product that can be sold with residential zoned land. Similar to these zoning types, players will be able to build factories, refineries, and stores with commercial, mixed-use and industrial zoned land.

1. When will the whitepaper be released?

The whitepaper will be a collection of papers, including SET, GATE and Metropolis that will be released in ACT II (outlined above). These papers form the foundation of the metaverse and design of Wilder World. Future papers have not yet been announced yet.

1. What upgrades will be made to the staking contract and when will these upgrades be implemented? Given the recent price action on ETH, it’s expensive to claim. Claiming to simply stake accrued pool rewards now exceeds $50? Can we batch claim rewards in one transaction?

Unfortunately ETH has become prohibitively expensive, hence the imminent and urgent need for meowchain. What we are likely to do is perform a migration path for Wilders to move their staked WILD to meowchain, free of charge, which would allow them to properly unstake. This is a complex and sensitive operation, but the best path forward. Once meowchain is live this will become a top priority.

1. Are there any updates on advantages for higher chain/max chain holders versus Trinity?

Longer chain Trinities will receive better zoned land that is closer to core of Little Meow. Longer chain Trinities will also receive enhanced (force multiplied) rewards with ZBI and Passport, once those systems go live.

Dev Log 6

1. What happens if someone decides to sell LAND (with it being backed by $WILD). Can it be sold to another person? Or just deactivated for the $WILD? Basically, how does the secondary market come into play? The secondary market will function just like any other NFT. Holders will be able to set a price on the open market and people can buy it or not for a specific price. When the NFT is transferred (sold), the corresponding WILD backing it will follow the asset, which will be then controlled by the new owner.

1. In a recent AMA, it was mentioned that higher chains will give you better odds at securing a prime land plot. Do GENs count towards a higher chain? Not for land sale 1, but they will count for all subsequent land sales.

1. For Wilders holding their assets in a cold wallet, how will they be able to sign transactions for game activities effectively? Yes. You will be able to associate multiple wallets with your account. It may be required you use an in-game wallet, using account abstraction, for smaller transactions (micro-transactions), and cold storage for larger transactions.

1. Will Wilders be able to choose whether a max chain gets a higher probability of a closer land plot or split into two base chains for more plots? Wilders will be able to choose whether they want to have a max-chain or two separate Trinities.

1. If $WILD token rises, how will this affect prices within Wiami? Will it be pegged to more stable values? Similar to any nation with its own currency, changes in the underlying price will impact asset prices.

1. According to the roadmap Land is scheduled for release before Avatars. Will land count towards forming a Trinity to claim a free Avatar? This is not currently decided. Once dates are hard confirmed for both drops, these types of remaining details will be shared.

Dev Log 7

1. How will the launch of the Meowchain affect $WILD LP Staking or Staking in general?Once live, we will transfer staking pools to meowchain. The exact details of this process are not ready to be shared yet. The main focus is getting the chain live.

1. Will there be one snapshot for Land Sales 1, 2 and 3, or will there be separate snapshots prior to each land sale? There will be separate snapshots for each land sale.

1. How will the Wheels upgrades affect rarity? How will the top tier Wheels stand apart from the lower tier Wheels if they are all made “super”? Will there still be a DAO vote for Wheels upgrades? We are planning to keep the rarity from the original collection, though some details or traits will be represented differently on the upgraded Wheels. Given the aesthetics and execution that our team has significantly upleveled since the Wheels launch, our main goal with the Wheels upgrade is to ensure the cars properly fit with the aesthetic of Wilder World. Though, this will make some lower tier cars look better, it won't take away from super rare Wheels. Plus, it's worth noting we've only been showing the more common cars and haven't shown any of the updated rare Wheels yet. As for the Wheels DAO vote, we are planning to execute this, but don't have a specific timeline on when this will take place.

1. When Wheels are upgraded in-game, will the NFT update as well? Or will the Wheel revert back to its original traits if sold? The current plan is to update the in-game wheels and NFT media (display image and animation), upon the completion of the Wheels updates. The wheel wouldn't ever revert back to its original media following this.

1. Will Cribs be upgradeable? For example, can I add a balcony if my unit lacks one? There isn't currently a plan to upgrade the Qube, but holders are encouraged to submit a DAO proposal if there is interest in this idea.

1. When will rarity rankings sheets be released for AirWild Season 0, AirWild Season 1, AirWild Season 2 and Cribs? Given that these collections have already been released, we have decided not to release specific rarity after the fact as purchasing decisions have been made by holders based on the available information. That said, we do have rarity documents for the Qube and AWS2 which were posted in their original Zines.

Dev Log 8

1. Will the $WILD tokens tied to the Genesis Land be equal amounts for all land plots or will there be a tiered amount depending on the location or rarity of the plot? Will there be methods of renting your Land plots? This will be outlined in the Metropolis / Land whitepaper.

1. Are there any updates relative to NFT staking uncertainty from the SEC? We will possibly need to limit certain countries based on IP on our site. We will share more details closer to the launch.

1. Are there any updates on the perpetrators of the two thefts on the vesting contracts? We have done a full investigation. We are working on a report to share with the community. Unfortunately we have not recovered any funds, but we know where the hack originated.

1. Regarding the Hideout, will Wilders have to use their Hideout Wheel to enter the Hideout in-game? Or will they be permitted access if they have a Hideout in their wallet? Right now the plan is that you will need your wheel to get into the hideout. If hideout holders would prefer otherwise, we can open up that discussion with the holders.

1. Will there be animals in nature in Wilder World? Or just our Beasts? We want to introduce more animals, but there isn’t anything on the roadmap as it stands. The priority will be to get the Beasts in World first.

1. Is there any IP issue with the Wheels Collection? Not that we are aware of currently. We are adjusting the in-game models to be sure

2. How will Mining work if it’s dropped before Land? Aren’t we going to be mining our own land plots? Mining is what will make land interesting. We are working on a resource based game that will allow Wilders to mine raw materials outside the city limits of Wiami. Resources can than be processed and used to build structures on land parcels within Wiami.

1. Are there any updates on the Zero App and launch of the new version? It will launch in ACT II. A good amount of the team is using it and loving it.

2. When will the next Zero Zine be released? It is ready, just needs to be polished and will go out before the first release, expected within the next sixty days or so.

3. Are there any updates on when the whitepaper will be released? The land Whitepaper should be released in ACT II.

Dev Log 9

1. What is the strategy for streaming the next live racing event to the public? We will continue to improve our stream set up, with more feeds and a more structured format for the typecast. We’ll stream directly to X, there’s also been discussions about firing up the Wilder World twitch account to access a more gaming focused audience.

1. Are we going to leverage YouTube again? If so, when? We have a good backlog of videos we’ve been planning to post on YouTube. We don’t currently have a date we’ll be rolling them out, but there have been internal discussions about this given the importance of YouTube as a platform for gaming projects.

1. Will we see marketing ramp up at the beginning of ACT II like we did with ACT I? We will keep marketing consistent as to what was seen with ACT I. An important distinction to understand is building brand awareness vs. driving for conversion. We believe that starting to drive for more tangible metrics like DAU/MAU and onchain activity through gameplay will be the best things to focus on moving forward. Our assumption is that this will create more value for the WW ecosystem, and offer more fulfillment for the community through unique experiences and opportunities to earn.

1. Will Wilders have similar opportunities to test combat, like they did with racing? Yes, the current Dev project that Midnight in Wiami is on will become the testing environment for the open-world and combat.

1. Do you think a massive increase in token APR, prior to NFT staking, is damaging to NFT holders? Not at all. The project is mostly incentivizing becoming a liquidity provider, which helps all aspects of the ecosystem. More liquidity will help support the token economy, and other rewards systems that are rolling out.

1. Do we have any updates on what assets will need to be bridged to Meowchain manually (Tokens and/or NFTs)? Not at this moment. We will know more closer to launch, anticipated sometime over the next 60-90 days.

2. Can we expect AMAs with Frank and n3o as laid out in the roadmap? We will ramp this up, starting with the spaces today!

Dev Log 10

1. Will we need to have separate profiles for separate Avatars, or can they all be attached to one profile on ZERO? If Avatars are under one profile, can we give each Avatar a different name, or will there be one universal identifier? If they can have separate names, how will the user be identified? Currently, the thinking is that you would be able to hold multiple Avatars in your wallet, but only have one equipped at a time. These could be Avatars that have different names and associated gear. We are evaluating having autonomous agents that you can deploy using Avatars, but plans are not certain or finalized.

1. Do we have an updated timeline for the shooter and mining modes? Many details were outlined above. Our objective is to launch the first version of REBELLION as well as land and mining within ACT II, by the end of 2024.

1. What will be the economic mechanism to allow rewards (MMED) to continue into the future? Won’t they run out at some point? As industries mature, they will begin to implement in-game revenue models from asset sales, royalties, and consumables. The goal is to use these proceeds and redistribute them to players using MMED and staking. The Wheels section above explains the early parts of these systems.

1. Do we know when we can expect regular ZERO ZINES? Unfortunately it has taken a bit longer to operationalize this than hoped, and we are behind here. We are hoping to have regular updates on ZERO and Meowchain by the end of this year.

1. Are there any updates on when Industry Staking will launch? This will launch in ACT II, before the end of this year.

1. Any updates on the plan for Wilder World YouTube? We have a good backlog of videos ready for YouTube. We are considering to start rolling them out during The Odyssey campaign to harness the growth of our YouTube.

1. With so much focus on racing, industries other than Wheels have lacked attention. When will we get more details on the benefits and utility in-game for other assets?We are currently working on getting all other assets working in the world. We are pushing to have this done by the end of the year, or at latest by the end of Q1 in 2025.

1. I don't have a gaming PC but want to MMED! When will NVIDIA GeForce NOW launch? Now that our alpha title is officially live on Epic Games Store, we can now proceed with our GeForce NOW listing. We are in active discussions with the NVIDIA team and will let you know as soon as we have a listing date. Our objective is to have this within ACT II.

Dev Log 11

1. Can we still expect the 3 economic White Papers in Act II? The full contents of the whitepapers are scheduled for release before the year's end, likely in two separate documents.

1. When will Wheels staking be introduced? The third testnet for our L2 blockchain went live last week. The staking contracts are audited. Wheels staking will go live shortly after the chain does. We're pushing hard to have Wheels staking live by the end of the year.

2. Will the Lore for Wilder World be more organized at some point? It currently feels a little scattered. Additionally, is the comic aspect still in development, and can we expect more progress on that this year? We haven't made further progress on releasing new comics, as AI image generation gained significant popularity after the release of the first one. That said, we do have 9 editions outlined and have experimented with building models that could bring these to life, though this isn't a priority and there isn't a clear timeline on this at the moment. We also plan to bring the lore more into the in-world experience which will make it more clear moving forward.

3. Will the Mining Rigs be a Genesis collection? What steps can Wilders take to best position themselves for acquiring these Rigs? Mining rigs will not be a Genesis collection. Avatars will be the last Genesis collection. We're currently working on the first batch of them and will reveal more details on these collections as they get closer to release.

4. Will there be an AMA with Frank and n3o in the near future? We will schedule an AMA in early Q4 once the Land title cards are dropped.

5. How long will it be before our Land Titles are revealed as plots of Land on The Island? The Land titles dropped for the Island will be in their final form. Each NFT will contain information on its location, and how its zoning will work, along with any details around its building constraints.

Dev Log 12

1. How is the team planning on marketing Land drop 2, Avatars and the games themselves to real users? We are in talks with several top marketplaces to assist with the Land launch. As for marketing the game to the right gaming audience, we’re not there yet. We need a game-first product that can stand on its own before targeting gamers. When the time comes, we’ll go all in on platforms like YouTube and Twitch.

2. When will Odyssey Part I come to an end? If we don't have an exact date, should we expect the claim to occur in the coming days, weeks or months? We're planning for the claim to take place soon after Part I concludes. Our priority is making sure all infrastructure is in place to provide strong utility before the airdrop, allowing players to put their WILD to work. This process is likely to take a few months.

1. Will GENs count towards the final wShard distribution and Odyssey Trinity multiplier? Yes

1. Why are we no longer promoting significant events as Dominos and part of the Domino Roadmap? Domino is still progressing according to the roadmap set at the beginning of the year, with milestones being hit. However, they're not being referred to as 'Dominos' as frequently from a marketing perspective.

1. Can you deploy multiple GENs and rigs to mine on a single Land plot? Yes.

2. If you own adjacent Land plots, can they be merged into a single larger plot or building? If so, will the metadata be combined into one NFT? Not on the Island, but it may be possible on the Mainland.

3. Will chain length influence rarity in Land Drop 2? TBD

1. Does token holders refer to WILD as well as NFT for Super Early Access? It will require an NFT, but there will be less expensive NFTs that can be purchased for WILD.

1. There’s no mention of when Wilders can start utilizing and mining on the Mainland. How soon after launch will this occur? We're targeting early Q1, after the release of the Open World. Feedback was provided that the Land sale is more likely to succeed after seeing the Open World.

1. Are in-game costs decided (fuel and NOS)? The current costs aren't yet decided and will require further experimentation. We are running the historical data on how these have been utilized vs. how much the player has earned and will use this information to inform the initial pricing. They will be a variable price that changes over t
