Wilder World is planning to soon launch 3 major reward programs across its metaverse ecosystem, giving the blockchain gaming community a variety of ways to earn tokens, including airdrops for new ecosystem tokens.

What Are the 3 Reward Programs Coming to Wilder World’s Ecosystem?

The 3 reward programs rolling out soon include Metropolis, ZBI, and MEGADROP.

Metropolis represents the ecosystem’s staking system in which you will be able to stake $WILD tokens to earn more of it from a piece of weekly revenue that the metaverse generates. While staking and liquidity mining was introduced way back in December 2021 and millions of tokens have been distributed since, the team has begun migrating staking over to Z Chain, according to an April 2025 announcement.

Z Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for gaming, AI, social networking, and high-frequency trading. The mainnet release took place in early February 2025, and the developers are now working to transition crucial protocols to the new chain, which means the new reward and staking systems are going live there as well. The migration process is being handled natively by the protocol, meaning that stakers do not need to manually unstake or restake their tokens, as all $WILD and LP positions will be transferred at no cost to users. Once this process is complete, users will be able to deposit, withdraw, stake and claim rewards on Z Chain, where it will be much cheaper to use all these functions due to lower gas fees in comparison to Ethereum.

The $WILD staking system will roll out in phases, and the new program lowers the total rewards rate across both $WILD and LP staking by 10% - 30% in order to control token inflation and maintan long-term sustainability. As for APR, it will stay dynamic and as such will change automatically depending on the total number of tokens staked in every pool. In the future, the plan is to make emission rates dynamically adjustable through protocol conditions. Another notable change with the new system is that 12-month lockups for previously claimed staking rewards will be a relic of the past, so once the migration happens, all previously locked rewards will be possible to withdraw straight away to your wallet.

The second reward program is ZBI, which will allow you to earn $MEOW tokens in the form of on-chain daily revenue by using products accessible to Pro subscribers only. This should mean that the system will reward you for playing Wilder World, trading, and messaging in ZERO. This is made possible thanks to the use of a daily activity algorithm that also comes with multipliers you can get by holding Genesis NFTs, tokens, and so on. Referral rewards are included as well, so if you bring someone to the metaverse or ZERO using your invite code, you will be rewarded with 30% of their subscription revenue, and 30% of their trading fees too.

The third program is MEGADROP. This is a staking program that enables you to earn airdrops through CATNIP, which is accumulated by staking $WILD or $MEOW tokens, with CATNIP said to then be used for determining “future airdrop rewards for new ecosystem tokens.”

According to the X post below, you can look forward to seeing these programs go live in ZERO with an easy to use interface that makes it simple to get started with staking and earning rewards. It seems that the new staking systems will bring a rewards multiplier of around 10x for “long-term thinkers” to thank dedicated community members “for fully ‘locking in’ with us.”

About Wilder World

Wilder World is an in-development free to play gaming metaverse that will have players explore and build in a beautiful cyberpunk world while engaging in third-person shooter and FPS gameplay. Enjoy various arena game modes and next-gen racing physics as you explore the city of Wiami, a neon-lit metropolis comprised of 10 districts and over 100 neighborhoods. Participate in a decentralized, player-governed economy and create your unique avatar using millions of character combinations as you mine for resources and defend the city in which every asset is a functional NFT.

The ecosystem of this metaverse is powered by $WILD, an ERC20 token on the Ethereum network that has a fixed supply of 500 million tokens and is designed as a DAO governance token used for all transactions within this virtual world.

Last month, Wilder World revealed Super Early Access launch plans, in which they announced that the goal is to launch the game in late July 2025 on the Epic Games Store as a free to play metaverse, with the aim of eventually getting the blockchain-powered title released on Steam and GeForce Now during next year. Negotiations with “major players” are underway to possibly bring the metaverse even to consoles as well. 

Super Early Access will consist of 3 phases, with the first phase set to deliver TPS/FPS gameplay, a couple of arena modes, and a gear economy. This is likely when the game’s economy and staking program Metropolis will go live to allow players to buy skins and in-world items using fiat or crypto in a number of different currencies. This could be beneficial to $WILD token holders, because regardles of the payment option used to make in-game purchases, a deflationary mechanism will be set in place so that all the revenue generated from these purchases is used to auto-buy $WILD tokens on the market and burn them from the total token supply.

Earlier this month, Lamborghini launched 600 digital Temerario supercars in the Wilder World metaverse.
