G-WILDER

@gothburz Reality check.. We've been there and would do it all again because nowhere near have I had that feeling of being alive.. fast movement, so much learning, ppl connecting, sharing visions and hopes, wild times and valuable lessons 💕 loved it apart from money aspect

My net worth peaked at $1.2 million. None of it was real. I don't mean that philosophically. I mean it was located on servers that have since been turned off. I own eleven properties in the metaverse. Three in Decentraland. Four in The Sandbox. Two in Voxels. One in Otherside. And a beachfront villa in Horizon Worlds that I bought for $214,000 because Mark Zuckerberg called it "the next frontier." The frontier closed last week. It's a mobile app now. Last year I mass DM'd 340 people the phrase "you don't understand how early we are." I have since stopped doing that. Not because I was wrong. Because most of them blocked me. I got into metaverse real estate in November 2021. Everyone was buying. Someone paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg's neighbor. In a video game. With no legs. The avatars didn't have legs. I thought that was bullish. "The legs are coming," I told my Discord. "Legs are a roadmap item." Three hundred people reacted with rocket emojis. I called myself a "digital land baron." I put it in my Twitter bio. I put it in my LinkedIn headline. I said it on a podcast that had eleven listeners. Three of them were bots. The rest were my alts. My virtual property has more square footage than my actual apartment. My actual apartment has furniture. Location, location, location. My most valuable asset was a plot next to a virtual Gucci store. Gucci left in 2023. The store is still there. Nobody's in it. It's like a mall in Ohio but with worse graphics and no food court. I held. Diamond hands. That's what we said. "Diamond hands." It means refusing to sell while your investment loses 94% of its value. We turned financial paralysis into a personality trait. A guy in my Discord paid $2.4 million for a 618-parcel estate in Decentraland. Prime district. High foot traffic. I asked him what "foot traffic" meant when the platform had 38 daily active users. He said I didn't understand the technology. I didn't. I still bought more. We had a DAO. A decentralized autonomous organization. That means we voted on decisions. There were nine of us. Three never showed up. Two voted on everything without reading it. The other four were me and my alts. We voted to "acquire strategic parcels." The vote passed unanimously. I voted four times. My portfolio peaked at $1.2 million. I told everyone. I made a spreadsheet. I projected 40x returns by 2025. I made a pitch deck. The pitch deck had a slide that said "WE ARE BUILDING THE DIGITAL ECONOMY." The slide had a rocket emoji. That was my entire financial model. In 2023 I bought a Bored Ape for $189,000. It's worth $14,000 now. I don't talk about the Ape. I still use it as my profile picture. People ask me about it. I say "I'm long-term bullish." Long-term bullish means I can't sell it without crying in a Panera. My mom asked me what a Bored Ape was. I said "digital art on the blockchain." She asked why it cost more than her car. I said "you don't understand Web3." She said "I understand you live in a studio apartment." She's not in my Discord. Justin Bieber bought one for $1.3 million. It's worth about $90,000 now. I felt better about mine after I heard that. That's community. WAGMI. We're All Gonna Make It. We said that every day. In the group chat. While the floor dropped. While the volume dried up. While 95% of all NFT collections went to zero. We're all gonna make it. None of us made it. But we said it with conviction and a laser-eye profile picture. That counts for something. It doesn't. But we said it did. That's decentralized consensus. Meta spent $84 billion on the metaverse. I need to say that again. $84 billion. More than the GDP of Luxembourg. More than the GDP of Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta combined. They spent it on a platform where the avatars had no legs, the graphics looked like a 2006 Wii game, and the peak user count was lower than the lunch rush at a Chipotle in Des Moines. They just pulled Horizon Worlds from VR headsets. It lives on as a mobile app. My beachfront villa is now a mobile app. Location, location, location. Zuckerberg renamed the entire company for this. Facebook became Meta. A $900 billion company changed its legal name because the CEO watched Ready Player One and said "I want that." Reality Labs lost $10 billion in 2021. $14 billion in 2022. $16 billion in 2023. $18 billion in 2024. $19 billion in 2025. That's not a strategy. That's a speedrun. They laid off 1,500 Reality Labs employees this year. Shut down three VR studios. Killed Supernatural. Put the entire VR social vision in a casket and said "we're pivoting to AI and wearables." The pivot took four years and $84 billion. I pivoted too. I'm an AI real estate investor now. I bought a virtual plot in an AI-generated world that doesn't exist yet. The founder said it was "the intersection of spatial computing and large language models." I don't know what that means. I gave him $40,000. He has a whitepaper. It's 47 pages. I read the title and the tokenomics section. The tokenomics section is a pie chart. I love pie charts. They make everything look like a plan. The project has a roadmap. Q1: "Build community." Q2: "Launch beta." Q3: "Scale ecosystem." Q4 is blank. Q4 is always blank. That's where the exit scam goes. My accountant asked me to value my metaverse portfolio for tax purposes. I said $1.2 million. He said "current market value." I said $6,400. He stared at me for eleven seconds. I know because I counted. He asked if I had any other investments. I showed him my NFTs. He stared for longer. I told him they were "cultural artifacts with long-term provenance." He asked if I'd considered a 401k. I told him a 401k was "legacy finance." He told me to leave his office. The metaverse is dead. I don't accept that. I am a digital land baron. I own eleven properties across four platforms. I have a beachfront villa in a mobile app, a plot next to an empty Gucci store, and a cartoon monkey that cost me more than my actual car. Location, location, location. The location is nowhere. But I'm early. I'm always early. That's the same as being wrong except you get to say it with confidence.

We are pushing hard in March to release Wilder Web, which will then be followed by our own Wilder World mobile version. This will connect the entire game economy across multiple layers in what is called S3L (The Shared Simulation State Layer). This handles rapid state updates across Unreal Engine, Web, and Mobile. It will be a permissionless and public layer that anyone can build on and deploy agents on. S3L sits on top of Metropolis, which is the economic and onchain gameplay layer that lives natively on Z Chain. In addition to improving the core game experience for players, we are simultaneously making all of our projects agent native. This can scale up the metaverse and economy fast. A future where millions of agents transacting, interacting, coordinating, and performing economic activity is close.

Make no mistake about it, Wilder World is going through its biggest transformation since we've started the project. All cylinders are firing like never before. The foundation is strong, the current deep, the future beyond imagination. 🤝🏴‍☠️

Real worlds don’t launch overnight. They emerge. Shoutout to everyone still here - still playing, still imagining, still believing in @WilderWorld If you’re still WILD, show us what keeps you here👇 Clips, NFTs, screenshots, anything.

The most important release in Wilder World history is upon us.

Most people will judge you on your valuation, but in the short term it is not relevant. What matters are the metrics that determine your valuation over the long-term. For Wilder World, daily active players is up ~700% in the last 1.5 months, and our valuation is now the same as when we started the company.

In the Trenches.

𝕏 down. Internet down. Markets down. Sentiment down. Wilders stay up.

BELIEF and OPPORTUNITY With Avatars, Packs, Open World, attachment systems, Wheels, Agents, and much more… how could you doubt RECOVERY.

@real_n3o That last one should be tattooed on my forehead! We keep forgetting it along the way.. If it wasn't for discord how would we know when we are aligned? Me personally, feel blessed every time a challenge is in my way, opportunity to win or grow, either way, fantastic!

As soon as you realize life is not fair, the better off you are. You might need to work five times harder than the next guy to achieve the same results. It doesn't matter though, because life is an inner journey, not external one. As long as you are growing you are winning.

gm to those who believe in something real

In hindsight, it’ll be OBVIOUS The biggest gap in the gaming market was a free-to-play, crypto-powered open world like GTA 6, where you can earn, build empires and cause chaos. It’s called Wilder World.

Building a company is absolutely brutal. All wins are temporary. You are constantly just dealing with problems and pain. Saying that, I absolutely love being tested to the limit and proving we are capable of the impossible.

We're sorry.

@real_n3o What an opportunity ✨ Thanks for fast explanation and transparency 👑

🚨 Emergency Update: WILD Flash Crash At approximately 07:45 UTC, $WILD experienced a rapid flash crash that is still undergoing. This was not caused by any security breach or exploit, but rather by a cascading liquidation event originating from the WILD PeaPods lending pool. In short, our integration with PeaPods carried unanticipated systemic risk that we did not understand. Unfortunately, this became evident under extreme market conditions, triggering forced liquidations and a sharp price decline. Key Points: - There was no hack, no compromise of user funds, and no failure of Wilder World’s core systems. - The liquidation cycle is still in progress, but we expect the market to stabilize once it completes. - The project maintains sufficient runway (12–24 months) to continue full development regardless of token price or near-term capital inflows. - The team remains fully committed to building Wilder World’s long-term vision. We understand this event is deeply unsettling. Transparency and accountability are our top priorities. A detailed incident report and community AMA will be held within 48 hours to walk through exactly what happened, what we’ve learned, and what happens next. I want to reiterate that this will not stop us and our plans for the next sixty days and year do not change. To our long-term supporters: thank you for standing with us through this extreme volatility. We believe in the fundamentals of WILD and the strength of the Wilder community. n3o
