Calamity Announces Factory NFTs - Stake to Earn $WYRM

Web3 MMORPG Calamity has announced the introduction of Factory NFTs, through which holders will be able to stake to earn the upcoming $WYRM token while enjoying a range of different in-game utilities.

What Are Calamity’s Factory NFTs?

Calamity’s Factories are a collection of 9,999 NFTs that come with a deflationary supply model while featuring a number of different use cases through which players can gain access to a range of different in-game benefits while earning the $WYRM token in the process.

Next to being stakable assets, these NFTs can act as your personal in-game space containing production-focused areas inhabited by Automatas while providing access to the Merging system and free access to the Expeditions system.

Automatas are automated production robots that can generate resources and crafting materials. Each NFT has a certain number of slots for Automatas depending on the tier of your asset. Players will be able to earn Automatas through gameplay across future seasons, with the developers planning on introducing 6 types of robots throughout these seasonal periods. The kind of resources and crafting materials that can be produced will depend on the type of Automatas you have.

To increase the number of slots your in-game apartment has for Automatas, you need to increase the tier of your Factory. This is done using the Merging system, a system that makes this NFT collection deflationary as it allows you to combine 3 lower-tier Factories into 1 higher-tier asset. Owning a higher-tier NFT comes with a variety of perks. Next to supporting more Automatas, a higher-tier Factory brings increased staking power, an expanded in-game apartment space, more Energy for Expeditions, and potentially other exclusive utilities over time. The Merging system lets you upgrade all the way to Tier 5, offering a staking power bonus of +15% per merge that scales up to +74% at Tier 5, so if you want to get the most out of staking rewards, you will likely want to get your NFT to the max tier possible.

To clarify, if you want to get a Tier 2 NFT, you need to merge 3 Tier 1 assets, but if you want to get one Tier 3 NFT, you then need to merge 3 Tier 2 Factories, and so on. Through this Merging system, the total supply can decrease over time, possibly driving more demand and thus making Factories more valuable. Here’s the full breakdown:

The Expeditions system enables players to progress through the game faster by paying a certain number of tokens. As a Factory NFT holder, you get free access to the Expeditions system, with the effectiveness of this mechanic depending on the amount of Energy your NFT can provide. The higher the tier of your Factory, the more Energy it can offer for expeditions. If you end up owning more Factories than you actually need, then you can choose to stake those spare assets in-game in order to receive profit sharing from players spending on the Expeditions system.

Aside from the total supply of this upcoming new NFT collection, info on the exact mint date is not available at the time of writing. The chain hasn't been mentioned either, but considering Dragon Rings are on Ronin, these new assets will likely reside on the same gaming blockchain. However, you can expect the NFT sale to take place this Q3 2025, as this collection represents the unannounced NFTs that were mentioned in Calamity’s new Q3 roadmap. If you want to secure a $WYRM airdrop, then you’ll want to participate in the upcoming public sale of Factory NFTs, but how many tokens can you actually earn by minting and staking this new asset?

How Many $WYRM Tokens Do Factory NFT Holders Earn?

Every Tier 1 Factory NFT holder can earn up to 5500 $WYRM tokens in total from airdrops and staking. Specifically, each Tier 1 Factory NFT is set to be airdropped 1650 $WYRM tokens at TGE, while up to 3850 $WYRM tokens could be earned as staking rewards over the course of 3 months. The number of tokens earned from staking will of course vary on a number of factors, such as the amount of assets being staked and the Tier of the assets being staked.

If all 9,999 Factory NFTs are sold, the total number of tokens allocated to Factories will be 5.5% of the $WYRM total supply. With the $WYRM token, you will be able to purchase the Season Pass containing play to earn rewards, stake to earn valuable lootboxes, engage in peer-to-peer trading through the Auction House, buy premium consumables, and participate in high-stakes PvP wagers and mini-games.
