Basic Info
John: Hey Lila, let’s kick off this blog post by diving into the basics of Wild Forest. As a veteran in the GameFi space, I’ve seen projects come and go, but Wild Forest stands out as a mobile real-time strategy (RTS) game built on blockchain technology. It’s essentially a game where players battle in quick, strategic matches, and it’s integrated with Web3 elements like NFTs and tokens. From what I’ve gathered from recent posts on X and official sources, Wild Forest is developed by Zillion Whales and runs on the Ronin blockchain, which is known for its efficiency in gaming.
Lila: That sounds exciting, John! But for beginners like me, what’s GameFi exactly? And why is Wild Forest called a mobile RTS? I’ve played some mobile games, but blockchain stuff is new.
John: Great questions, Lila. GameFi is a blend of gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi), where you can play games and earn real-world value through cryptocurrencies or NFTs (non-fungible tokens, which are unique digital assets). Wild Forest is a mobile RTS, meaning it’s a real-time strategy game optimized for phones and PCs, where you build armies, strategize in battles, and everything happens in real-time without turns. According to their official website and updates on X, it launched its open beta back in late 2023, and it’s been evolving since then with regular updates.
Lila: Oh, I get it now—it’s like those strategy games where you command troops, but with crypto rewards. Has it been around long? And is it still active based on what you’re seeing?
John: Absolutely, it’s very much active. In the past, it started as a project on Ronin in 2023, with its open beta announced around November that year, as per blockchain gaming news sites like BlockchainGamerBiz. Currently, as of 2025, posts on X show ongoing developments, like whitepaper updates and token launches. Looking ahead, they have roadmaps pointing to more features. It’s free-to-play, which makes it accessible for beginners, and you can earn NFT rewards from battles.
Lila: Free-to-play is a big plus! So, no need to spend money upfront? That’s beginner-friendly.
John: Exactly, Lila. You can jump in without costs, but there are ways to enhance your experience with blockchain elements, which we’ll cover later.
Tokenomics / Supply model
John: Moving on to tokenomics, which is basically the economic model of the project’s cryptocurrency. Wild Forest has its native token called $WF, with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. From the latest reveals on X, they’ve detailed how $WF is used for upgrades, premium features, and more. It’s designed to power the in-game economy without overwhelming new players.
Lila: Tokenomics sounds technical—can you break it down? What’s the supply model, and how does it affect players?
John: Sure thing. The supply model outlines how tokens are distributed and circulated. For $WF, posts on X from November 2024 indicate allocations for gameplay rewards, staking (locking tokens to earn more), and community incentives. A portion is burned to reduce supply over time, which can help maintain value. In the past, they reworked their whitepaper to include these details, and currently, it’s integrated into the game’s ecosystem.
Lila: Burning tokens? Like destroying them? Why do that?
John: Yes, burning removes tokens from circulation permanently, which can create scarcity. According to Cointelegraph’s coverage in December 2024, this is part of Wild Forest’s strategy to build a sustainable economy. Looking ahead, they plan to expand token utility, like using $WF for in-game purchases or governance (voting on game decisions).
Lila: Governance sounds empowering! So players can influence the game?
John: Precisely. It’s a key Web3 feature, making the community part of the development.
Lila: How does the token distribution work? Is it fair for beginners?
John: From X posts and the updated whitepaper mentioned in GAM3S.GG articles from November 2024, about 4.5% of in-game revenue goes to a token called LORD, which ties into $WF. They’ve burned millions from revenue, showing commitment to scarcity. It’s structured to reward active players without favoring whales (big spenders).
John: To add more depth, the tokenomics include vesting schedules for team allocations to prevent dumps, ensuring long-term stability.
Gameplay mechanics and NFT integration
John: Let’s talk gameplay. Wild Forest is a single-screen RTS, meaning all action happens on one viewable area, making it fast-paced and mobile-friendly. You build decks of unit cards, engage in PvP (player versus player) battles, and strategize in real-time. NFTs come in as ownable unit cards that you can trade or upgrade.
Lila: Single-screen RTS? That’s different from games like Clash of Clans. How do NFTs fit in without complicating things?
John: It’s more streamlined—think quick matches lasting minutes. NFTs are integrated seamlessly; you earn them as rewards, and they represent unique units with stats. From EGamers.io reports in June 2024, the game launched on app stores with Web3 features like NFT ownership, but you can play without diving deep into crypto at first.
Lila: So, I could start playing just for fun and later get into NFTs?
John: Yes! In the past, beta versions focused on core mechanics, and currently, updates include fair play systems like rating decay to prevent exploits. Looking ahead, they’re adding new modes per their October 2024 roadmap on X.
Lila: What about the battles? Are they skill-based or pay-to-win?
John: Mostly skill-based, with NFTs providing edges but not guarantees. Blockchain ensures true ownership, so you can sell your NFTs on marketplaces like those on Ronin.
John: To expand, units are locked in certain systems to promote balance, as per recent fair play updates.
Lila: That keeps it fair—love that!
Developer team & community engagement
John: The team behind Wild Forest is Zillion Whales, experienced in strategy games. They’ve partnered with Ronin Network, which boosts credibility. Community engagement is strong, with active Discord and X presence.
Lila: Who are Zillion Whales? And how do they engage with players?
John: They’re a game studio with a history in titles like Mushroom Wars. Engagement includes regular X updates, AMAs (ask me anything sessions), and feedback loops. Posts on X from 2025 show they’re responsive, like addressing user acquisition and matchmaking improvements.
Lila: AMAs sound interactive! Has the community grown?
John: Yes, from 100k daily active users mentioned in X posts, it’s expanding. In the past, they focused on beta testing; currently, they’re in mid-phase with eco tweaks; ahead, web2 onboarding for non-crypto users.
Lila: Web2 onboarding? Making it easier for traditional gamers?
John: Spot on—direct wallet logins and such to bridge the gap.
Rewards system & user incentives
John: Rewards are a big draw. You earn NFTs and $WF through battles, staking, and seasonal leaderboards. It’s play-to-earn (P2E), where playing grants assets.
Lila: How do incentives work for newbies?
John: Starter packs and daily quests ease you in. From X buzz, they’ve given out packs to community members, boosting engagement. Revenue shares like the 4.5% to LORD holders incentivize holding.
Lila: So, even holding tokens can earn rewards?
John: Yes, via staking. Updates in 2024 expanded this, per whitepaper revamps.
Lila: What about sustainability? Does it last?
John: They burn tokens from revenue, ensuring long-term incentives.
Competitor comparison
John: Compared to competitors like Axie Infinity on Ronin, Wild Forest is more RTS-focused and mobile-optimized. Axie is creature-battling; Wild Forest is army strategy.
Lila: How does it stack up against others?
John: Versus Pixels or The Beacon, it’s unique in RTS. It has higher DAU and volume, as per 2025 X posts.
Lila: So, it’s carving its niche?
John: Definitely, with better matchmaking ahead.
Risk factors and challenges
John: Risks include market volatility—token values fluctuate. Also, blockchain gaming can have scalability issues.
Lila: What about scams or hacks?
John: Always a risk; use official channels. Community feedback on X notes matchmaking needs, which they’re addressing.
Lila: How to mitigate?
John: DYOR and start small.
