Operation Titan

Introduction

Operation Titan marks a pivotal shift in Wilder World’s economic strategy, a bold, multi-pronged initiative focused on strengthening the WILD token through targeted buybacks and ecosystem alignment. As we approach the public launch of Super Early Access (SEA), the Wilder Nation enters a new era. One in which the core team, DAOs, and community align around a unified goal: reinforcing long-term conviction in WILD and laying the groundwork for the next phase of growth.

At the heart of Operation Titan are four strategic buyback mechanisms, each designed to absorb supply, increase scarcity, and bring key assets back under aligned, long-term control. Together, they represent a proactive response to market conditions, a commitment to economic sustainability, and a show of strength heading into major releases, partnerships, and future listings.

Four Phases of Operation Titan

Operation Titan is already in motion. Below, we break down its four core phases and explore how each one is designed to strengthen Wilder World’s decentralized economy.

1. OTC Buybacks: Over the past 6 months, Wilder World has purchased back roughly 4% of the total WILD supply (~20 million tokens), making up over 5% of the current circulating supply, for an approximate total of $4 million dollars. These tokens were acquired from early investors and ex-team members to align holdings with those who share a long-term vision for the project.

2. DAO Buybacks: Tomorrow, we are announcing a series of DAO Proposals, where existing ETH funds would be used to purchase WILD token on the spot market. These purchases will be executed onchain in a transparent manner to fully align the interests of DAO holders with those of WILD token holders. We see this as a strong vote of confidence from the DAO community in support of Wilder World’s vision and the long-term growth of WILD. As part of this initiative, the project plans to purchase $3M worth of WILD on the open market, bringing the total buybacks for this phase to an estimated $7M.

3. Packs Buybacks: In August, we will launch Packs, which have been in development for over a year. Packs are weekly sales of in-game assets across industries, offering immediate utility and directly enhancing gameplay for Super Early Access. Revenue from Packs will be primarily in ETH and USDC, with 100% of weekly proceeds used to buy back WILD on the market. Our initial target is $25K per week in buybacks, scaling to $250K per week and beyond, based on demand and player growth.

4. CYPHER Buybacks: In August, we will launch a new US treasury vehicle specifically designed to buy back ecosystem assets. While not yet finalized, the initial target for this vehicle is $20 million, which would be used primarily to accumulate WILD on the market, with the ability to also purchase other ecosystem assets such as NFTs, MEOW, and eventually Z.

Operation Titan centers around four core initiatives, all of which are currently rolling out. In the coming months, detailed ZINES will outline the mechanics and tokenomics behind Metropolis V2 and Packs, as well as the structural and legal framework behind CYPHER.

Burning Questions

Q: Where is the WILD that’s been purchased through buybacks currently held?
A: The WILD will be held by the Project Treasury.

Q: Will the WILD purchased through DAO buybacks remain in treasury, or is there a planned use for it (e.g. staking, rewards etc)?
A: The purchased WILD will be held in the DAOs, ensuring all value of funds used by the DAOs stays with each specific DAO.

Q: What’s the funding source for OTC deals, team wallets, treasury, or other?
A: All OTCs have been funded by the project's treasury.

Q: Are there any guidelines or targets around price impact or timing when executing open market buybacks?
A: For maximum transparency, we will share a public wallet where proceeds of buybacks will be stored during the buyback process.

Q: Will the community be updated regularly on buyback progress, e.g. amounts purchased or supply impact?
A: By sharing the public wallet the community will be able to see what is happening onchain in real time.

Conclusion

Operation Titan launches at a defining moment for Wilder World. With the momentum of our massively successful Lamborghini collaboration still making waves and Super Early Access just around the corner, we’re entering a new era of gameplay, infrastructure, and economic alignment.

Development has crossed a critical threshold, and now the spotlight turns to WILD, with buybacks in motion, a bold economic strategy unfolding, and new listings on the horizon. The stage is set for Wilder World’s next leap forward.

With blessings,

The Wilders
