Wonderman Nation Whitepaper Breakdown

Deep Dive on one of the upcoming games being built on the Phantasma blockchain

Wonderman Nation is set to launch in 2024.

Gameplay

Wonderman Nation is an Axie infinity style play to earn game with Final Fantasy battle mechanics. The game is being built on the Phantasma blockchain using SmartNFT Technology. 

Battle, breed, explore and discover to advance your supremacy in Wonderman Nation.

Wonderman’s gameplay is a turn-based strategy game. Choose between attack, ability, item and defensive moves as you battle opponents.

In-Game NFTs

Wonderman is populated by playable characters called Arcadians. Each Arcadian comes with its own unique abilities and talents. 

Breeding Arcadians is the key to battle, as breeding allows you to produce more powerful creatures. To breed Arcadians, you must collect in-game Food NFTs and feed your creature.

Ecosystem

The key to success for Wonderman as a game will be a healthy Arcadian population.

Long term Arcadian population management relies on:

1. Adding additional utility to Arcadians such as exclusive access to mini-games.

2. Instead of simply expanding the size of your collection, there will be utility and earning mechanics to encourage and reward breeding.

Tokens

Wonderman Nation uses a dual token system - $WNDR & $NKTR.

The NKTR tokens are the equivalent of the Smooth Love Potion (SLP) in Axie. NKTR can be used to breed Wonderman Creatures in place of food NFTs.

NKTR can be earned through PvP matches, tournaments and exploration, and it can be traded on the market.

WNDR is the Wonderman governance token. It will be used for game rule governance, in-game rewards, purchase of in-game NFT items, breeding of creatures, and fuel for exploration.

20% of the WNDR supply is reserved for P2E rewards. You can earn rewards in the following ways:

  • Competing in Wonderman and winning matches.

  • Winning tournaments & PvP battles.

  • Discovering and selling food & spaceship parts on the marketplace.

  • Breeding Creatures and selling them on the marketplace.

  • Collecting and speculating on rare breeds.

Both tokens will be swappable across multiple chains including Phantasma, Ethereum, and Binance Smart Chain.

Entry Cost

How much does it cost to play?

There is a free-to-play version! Non-transferable, non-NFT Arcadians are available to all players to take into battles, allowing anyone to compete and have fun.

Earning potential for these non-NFT Arcadians should be zero or close to zero; ensuring a healthy demand for minted Arcadians.

Wonderman rewards players for the time and effort they spend both playing the game and growing the ecosystem.

Play & Earn Mechanics

Wonderman has a 100% player-owned, real money economy.

Rather than selling game items or copies, the developers of the game focus on growing the player to player economy and take small fees to monetize. 

Arcadians are created by players using in-game resources (NFT food & NKTR) and can be sold on the marketplace.

You can think of Wonderman as a nation with a real economy. The holders of the WNDR token are the government that receives tax revenues.

Game resources and items are tokenized, meaning they can be sold to anyone, anywhere on open peer-to-peer markets.

Advanced NFTs

Wonderman Nation uses the most advanced SmartNFT and blockchain gaming technology available thanks to Phantasma. 

With features such as lightning fast mint on demand, end-to-end fully transparent NFT crates and nested NFTs, and advanced royalties for breeders, Wonderman is at the forefront of gaming NFT innovation.

Another bonus of the Phantasma Chain is no fees! Whether you’re buying or trading Arcadians, or cashing out your earnings, you don’t lose any money in fees.

Team

The team behind Wonderman is an AAA game development team, with 220 years collective experience working on over 130 published titles, including IPs such as Star Wars, Zelda, Transformers, Far Cry, Darksiders, LA Noire, to name a few.

The team has already delivered one of the most advanced integrations of blockchain & in-game NFTS, with ‘22 Racing Series’ - a racing game where vehicles are made up of multiple smart NFTs.

Conclusion

Wonderman has the potential to be an Axie challanger with it’s innovative use of Smart NFTs.

The team working on Wonderman has an impressive track record, having worked on popular games such as Zelda, Star Wars and Far Cry.

Phantasma’s blockchain needs to grow it’s user base, and a game like Wonderman could potential help if it is a success.
