Introduction

Wilder World has unlocked a new way for holders to turn WILD’s price action into yield, deepen liquidity, and help build a self-sustaining Wilder economy, all without selling a single token.

Wilder World has officially gone live on Peapods Finance with the launch of the $pLONGWILD Pod, unlocking a powerful new way for Wilders to put their WILD to work. This first-of-its-kind DeFi integration lets holders stay fully exposed to WILD while earning yield from real market activity, no inflation, no emissions, just volatility turned into rewards.

By podding WILD, players capture trading fees and arbitrage opportunities as yield, deepen WILD liquidity, and support long-term price strength. With looping strategies, lending pools, and treasury participation, the $pLONGWILD Pod is more than just a farm, it’s the beginning of a financial engine designed to grow and sustain the Wilder economy.

How the $pLONGWILD Pod Works

The $pLONGWILD Pod is a new DeFi primitive built for WILD holders. When you deposit WILD into the Pod, you receive pLONGWILD, a token that represents your share of the Pod and keeps you fully exposed to WILD’s price.

Once your WILD is podded, it goes to work generating yield through three main mechanisms:

• Arbitrage: Traders buy and sell to capture price differences between WILD and pLONGWILD.
• Fees: Every wrap, unwrap, or arbitrage trade generates fees that are paid back to depositors.
• Volatility: More price movement leads to more arbitrage trades, which means more fees and higher yield.

Unlike many yield systems, the Pod has no inflation or token emissions. All rewards come from real trading activity, making the yield sustainable and market-driven.

Benefits for WILD Holders

The $pLONGWILD Pod gives holders a way to put their WILD to work without selling. By podding WILD, holders earn sustainable yield, capturing volatility rewards while staying fully exposed to WILD. This allows players to keep their liquidity available for use in DeFi and future Wilder World systems while generating a return from real market activity.

For those who want to increase their exposure, looping strategies make it possible to borrow USDC against podded WILD, buy more WILD, and deposit again for compounding returns. Each loop removes more WILD from circulation, tightening supply and creating additional buy pressure.

The Wilder Treasury participates in the same way, running its own loop strategy to grow its podded WILD holdings and create alignment with the community. Borrowing rates are competitive, making these strategies practical for holders looking to scale their exposure.

Peapod currently has several token markets, with the largest holding around $20M in liquidity. WILD is ranked #5–6, and the goal is to grow its market to the number one position, further increasing liquidity and visibility across DeFi dashboards such as DeFi Llama.

Key Incentives:

• Earn Yield: Capture volatility-driven rewards while staying fully exposed to WILD’s price.
• Maintain Liquidity: Keep WILD usable in DeFi and compatible with future Wilder World systems while it generates yield.
• Amplify Exposure: Use looping strategies to borrow USDC, buy more WILD, and deposit again for compounding returns.
• Tighten Supply: Reduce circulating WILD and add buy pressure that supports long-term price strength.
• Align with Treasury: Participate in the same strategy that the Wilder Treasury is running, ensuring shared incentives between community and project.

Strengthening Metropolis

The $pLONGWILD Pod does more than reward individual holders. By locking WILD out of circulation, generating rewards from real market activity, and attracting new USDC capital, it strengthens the Metropolis economic flywheel. Treasury and community participation together deepen liquidity, create buy pressure, and build a more sustainable, deflationary, and player-owned Wilder economy.

DeFi Lenders and the Lending Pool

The $pLONGWILD Pod creates an opportunity not just for WILD holders but for anyone holding USDC. Lenders can deposit USDC into the Pod’s lending pool and earn interest whenever borrowers use that USDC.

When WILD holders loop by podding their WILD, borrowing USDC, buying more WILD, and repeating, they pay interest on the USDC they borrow. Those interest payments are distributed to lenders as yield.

The lending system uses dynamic rates that rise when demand for borrowing is high and fall when demand slows, keeping the market balanced. Because all borrowing is backed by WILD, lender risk is limited to WILD market activity rather than unrelated assets.

Wilder Treasury Strategy

The Wilder Treasury is an active participant in the $pLONGWILD Pod. Its strategy is to lend USDC to seed the Pod’s lending pool, borrow USDC against its WILD collateral, buy additional WILD on Uniswap, pod the newly purchased WILD, and repeat the process to build a reserve position.

This approach earns yield on USDC, creates buy pressure for WILD, and grows the Treasury’s holdings of podded WILD while using the same system available to the community.

Start Podding

The $pLONGWILD Pod is live and ready for Wilders to explore. This is your chance to put WILD to work in DeFi, earn yield from real market activity, and help grow the Wilder economy. Whether you want to earn yield on your WILD, use looping strategies to increase your exposure, or supply USDC to expand the lending pool, every action contributes to stronger liquidity and tighter circulating supply.

Conclusion

The launch of the $pLONGWILD Pod is the first time WILD can be used as collateral in a decentralized lending market. It unlocks yield from real market activity, giving holders the ability to stay fully exposed to WILD while earning rewards, looping for amplified exposure, and supporting long-term liquidity.

Every pod, loop, and USDC deposit helps strengthen the Wilder economy by tightening circulating supply, deepening liquidity, and creating buy pressure. This alignment between the community and the Treasury turns the $pLONGWILD Pod into more than a yield strategy. It is a step toward a more sustainable, deflationary, and player-owned economy.
