Quick Update:
[Wilder World]
- We continue to expand onchain gameplay connected to Metropolis. Daily Check-ins are now live, Daily Missions are launching soon, and Packs are targeted for early next month.
- The WILD Token contract upgrade—making WILD deflationary—is nearly finalized and expected within the week. Once live, WILD will begin being permanently burned from circulation.
- The Avatar Creator is launching soon, starting with base templates and expanding to full customization before year-end. The Garage and Loadouts/Gun Customizer will follow shortly after.
- Your Z Wallet in Wilder World will soon read and display your full NFT collection.
- Daily playtests of The Trenches are nearly complete. Inspired by Counter-Strike’s Dust II, is one of our most polished and dynamic environments yet.
- The Open World Preview is approaching. Similar to previous staged launches like Rebellion, it will roll out in phases due to its scope and complexity. The goal is to have select Wilders exploring it by year-end, and the team is pushing hard to deliver.
- The Race Creator is complete but may ship shortly after the Open World release as a separate update.
- The new Marketplace and Mining systems are progressing rapidly. We are also focused on the Wilder World Mobile Companion App, enabling access to key gameplay and missions directly from mobile.
- This is a major initiative driven in spirit with our Japanese partners, and will be a strong driver of daily active Wilders (DAWs).
- The goal by the end of this year is to undergo a major shift—from us building Wilder World to all Wilders building Wilder World.
- The pieces are aligning: the Open World, AURA, Z Wallet, and creator tools will soon collide to form a powerful creative wave.
- We imagine Wilders visiting their land plots, using AURA to generate signage and products for their shops, and training NPCs to make the world more interactive and wild.
- Once we are all building together, Wilder World will become unstoppable—evolving from a game into a living, persistent world in cyberspace.
[ZERO]
- Major progress across Z Wallet, Z Banc, and Z Swap.
- Soon, users will be able to launch and trade their own tokens directly on ZERO—tokens that can represent virtually anything.
- This functionality will appear as three new Z Apps: Token Launcher, Token List, and the DEX.
- Mobile apps have received major performance and UI improvements—especially on iOS 26, where the experience is significantly smoother.
- Encrypted and public messages are now separated for better organization and a clearer distinction between E2E encrypted and open chats. This is rolled out on mobile and will soon be rolled out on web.
- Work has begun on Z DAO, a new protocol allowing anyone to create a DAO directly from a ZERO chat using ERC-20 or ERC-721 tokens.
- The DAO process has been redesigned to feel invisible and effortless, making community creation simple and accessible.
- Voice calls are in active development and on track for release by end of year.
- Onboarding has been significantly improved, with a Community Discovery feature in progress to help new users find and join relevant groups.
- A major upcoming upgrade will enhance privacy, decentralization, and encryption. This will be our most significant upgrade ever.
- Once complete, the initial vision of ZERO, at least from an architectural perspective, will be complete. Users will be able to run their own ZODES and fully power an unstoppable secure communications network. Details before year-end.
[Z Chain]
- A major Zerpyr testnet upgrade has been completed, paving the way for the mainnet rollout.
- This upgrade introduces EIP-4337, improving account abstraction and cutting transaction times from 5–10 seconds to around 1 second.
- Upcoming refinements will give users granular control over key management and recovery, making the system more secure and decentralized.
- The Z Chain Bridge is nearly open—WILD from ETH mainnet is already visible and integrated into daily WILD claims.
- Work continues on improving zscan (dot) live wallet reporting, which currently undercounts due to AA wallet aggregation. Fixes are underway to provide accurate onchain user metrics.
[AURA]
- AURA is now in production and will roll out to ZERO Pro users by end of month.
- Integration with the ZERO feed goes live soon—expect to see user-generated AURA content flowing in ZERO soon.
- Users will be able to tokenize assets, then buy and sell them within the ecosystem.
- All NFTs share an initial bonding-curve tokenomics model, ensuring liquidity, price discovery, and the option for fixed or expanding supply.
- All AURA assets trade in WILD pairs, giving strong utility to WILD and progressively locking supply as the ecosystem grows—fueling the Metropolis flywheel.
- AURA will also serve as the core technology and platform behind Wiami (dot) fun. While AURA can power any game or creative ecosystem, Wiami (dot) fun will focus specifically on Wilder World and its economy, creating a seamless connection between the two.
- Under the hood, everything ties together—one unified creative and economic system spanning ZERO, AURA, and Wilder World.
[MEOW]
- All new token features in ZERO are powered by MEOW, establishing it as the core liquidity token.
- New token pairs will be denominated in MEOW, permanently locking MEOW in liquidity pools.
- Trading within ZERO will require MEOW, giving it real, recurring utility and demand.
- A migration plan is underway to unify and relaunch MEOW as a single, tradeable token across all platforms.
- This consolidation will greatly simplify the ecosystem and strengthen MEOW’s role in the ecosystem. Paired with this will be additional liquidity and trading support for the token.
- More details will be announced soon in an upcoming ZINE.
[CYPHER]
- Plans are still progressing with CYPHER (although at a slower pace due to current market conditions).
- The project has already executed approximately $9M in total buybacks, with another $5M currently being coordinated.
- As the market strengthens, we’ll continue to unveil more on the CYPHER front and expand our long-term strategy for ecosystem growth.
