About
Wilder World is a metaverse company offering an expansive virtual environment called Wiami, where users can race, explore, and build. It focuses on user-generated content and decentralized governance, providing a unique gaming experience. Founded in 2019 in San Francisco, US, Wilder World operates a massive open-world metaverse known as Wiami, enabling user interaction through avatars and in-game activities. The company has undergone no notable pivots or strategic changes.
Andy Lee and Phoenix Wilder, the founders, have established this venture without any prior company information provided. Wilder World secured USD 30 mn in funding on January 17, 2022, from investors including Defi Technologies Pte. Ltd. and Metaversal Ventures, Inc.
This funding marks the total amount raised to date. Wilder World primarily offers the Wiami metaverse, allowing users to engage in activities such as racing, fighting, exploring, and building. The platform features advanced gameplay mechanics, including intense street races, first-person shooter battles, and role-playing missions. Users can trade in-game assets using the $WILD currency, which is essential to the economy of Wiami.
The metaverse promotes user-generated content and caters to gamers and digital asset enthusiasts worldwide, with users across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Wilder World's revenue model is based on transactions within the metaverse, particularly using its $WILD currency. Players can earn $WILD through quests and challenges, which can be traded for in-game assets. Revenue streams include direct-to-consumer transactions, secondary sales of digital assets, and in-game purchases.
The company's on-chain economy fosters user engagement and loyalty, allowing players to influence the development of Wiami through voting mechanisms utilizing $WILD. Following a funding round in January 2022, Wilder World aims to utilize the USD 30 mn raised to expand their New Dimension of Reality. The company plans to develop new products and enhance its virtual environment, targeting broader geographic markets for expansion. Specific market targets and timelines for these initiatives have not been disclosed.
