FAQ

At Wild, we help artists and collectors experience the wonder of web3 through our artist residency, our destination marketplace, and immersive worlds & experiences. 

We believe there is a better way to foster our world’s creativity and we’re on a mission to build the most seamless, inclusive, and fun place to create. We believe the way to access that creativity is by working with incredible creatives to build the places we want to spend our time in.

Wild is a connected world of creativity so approachable, imaginative & delightful you’ll want to build your future in it. Starting in the Wild Residency, we empower artists to push their own boundaries and do their best work. Wild artists develop collections that go beyond the 2D – they are intentionally and thoughtfully designed to be immersive and experiential to create deeper opportunities to engage with the work. Collections are available in the Wild Marketplace, where we invite fans to discover and connect with art and communities of creativity. In addition to our artist collections, we build our own immersive worlds through the Wild Design Lab. These worlds will be the building blocks of a new way to experience art. 

You can become a part of Wild through our proprietary Wild collections, such as the Wild Oasis, as well as through our incredible Artist Residency Collections. Whether looking to buy your first or 500th NFT, we are here to serve those at all stages of their web3 journeys. Our goal is to help you not just transact and look at art, but to take a peek inside the curtain to understand the story and the artist behind the collection. We believe art should be felt and experienced, not just seen – and we aim to help our collectors do just that.

We’re committed to supporting artists, creators, and makers in doing their best work – giving them the tools to do so, and also eschewing the outdated creator models that take an outsized cut of their financial upside.

Together with our world-class artists, we build delightful and approachable experiences that amplify their visions and help them connect with fans, both existing and new. Right now, the best way to onboard into Wildxyz as an artist is through our Residency – learn more and apply here.

Each week, we have a curated show, Wild Wednesdays, where we’ll share the latest collection releases, hear from artists about their inspiration and motivation, and share what’s ahead with the community and beyond. Tune in every Wednesday at 11:30am PT on twitter.com/wildxyz, and make sure to follow along at twitter.com/wildxyz as well!

The Wild Residency is an application-based program where we bring together incredible emerging and established makers to learn, grow, and reimagine art as we know it. Our residency helps makers push their work through mentorship and community building. We’re focused on setting up creators for the long-term, helping them build successful careers in web3 and beyond. That means more than a single collection – we sustain momentum with an emphasis on community and engagement.

The Wild Residency enables the development of cutting-edge art  and immersive experiences. Our program focuses on valuable benefits and meaningful connection, including:

• 12 weeks of organized programming in web3, NFTs, and hyperreality opportunities

• Bespoke smart contracts for your collection
• 3D/4D development and design assistance to bring your concept to life
• Receive 1 piece of work from each cohort peer’s collection

Wild is a destination to support your favorite makers, discover new art, and build your collection of originals and virtual goods. Our early marketplace is intentionally curated, with an emphasis on the stories behind the artists and their work. We’re starting small and continuing to build over time.

Right now, Wild is specifically designed to support artists in our Residency. If you’re interested in participating, check out our Residency Application to learn more.

Wild is a deeply curated experience that will continue to build and grow more robust and expansive over time. Right now, you can explore collections from our Residency artists, debuting each week.

The Wild Oasis is a world where you can explore, dream, and experience. When you enter into your Oasis, you’re entering into a world created just for you. Wild Oasis owners get access to special features & surprise-and-delight moments and interaction, including immersive experience all their own; access to Wild collections; Allowlist opportunities for Wild Residency collections and more.

At this time our daily Oasis auction has been paused to focus our attention on the community already in our corner, some exciting new collections, and enhancing the Oasis experience. 

In just over 4 months, we’ve welcomed 400+ Oasis holders, who have collected hundreds of digital works of art.  As we grow Oasis to its eventual 1,000 supply count, our top priority is to cultivate this community thoughtfully and intentionally. Our plan is – and has always been – to focus on creating outsized value for our passionate Oasis holders. Time is on our side.

Learn more in a Mirror post from our founder here.

No set date yet confirmed, but we promise big things are coming. We have exciting initiatives in the works that will expand the Wild platform and introduce new opportunities to enhance the Oasis experience. Trust us, it’s not-to-be-missed. We will keep the community updated. Join our Discord or sign up for updates to stay current on exciting news and updates.

Great, we’re here to listen and chat! Jonathan, our Collections Experiences Lead, invites you to schedule time with him to discuss anything Oasis related: benefits of ownership, how to secure your Oasis and exciting things we have in store!

There are several distinct phases for purchasing art on Wild. 

1. Oasis early access: Oasis owners get early access to mint on a first come, first served basis until allowlist is sold out or auction starts
2. Allowlist: Historic artist collectors and partners can participate in a first come, first served basis until allowlist is sold out or auction starts
3. Public Auction: Anyone can bid above the mint price to participate in the public auction
4. Raffle: Randomly selected winners who place a bid (but do not win) in the auction can mint for the mint price

Allowlist: Wallet addresses added to the Allowlist can buy a token during this period at a fixed price. Details include: 

• 2 per wallet max (unless otherwise noted)
• Upon purchase, token is sent to the buying wallet immediately (with the reveal to follow)

Public Auction (also known as a Second Price Auction): Supply here is collection-dependent. Details include:  

• 1 per wallet max
• Bid in ETH 
• Runs from time Allowlist sells out until 12pm PT on Wed (unless otherwise noted)
• Each bid must be higher than the current low bid by 0.01ETH
• Bids are ranked by Value and Time, with earlier bids taking precedence during ties
• When auction starts, there is a minimum opening bid (ie: 0.1ETH)
• The first bidder can bid as low as the openbid or as high as they want. Until all tokens for sale in the auction have at least one bid on them.
• After every token has a bid, the next bid accepted must be one bid increment (0.01ETH) higher than the lowest, newest bid.
• If you bid more than the current minimum bid, we will place a bid equal to the minimum for you, but then automatically raise it as others bid against you. We will raise it to the lower of the next bid increment over the newest bid, or your maximum bid, whichever is lower. 
• Bidder sends ETH to contract and once all tokens have a bid, the next bidder must bid one bid increment higher than the lowest, newest bid. 
• If two or more bids are tied, the newest bid is knocked out first (i.e., we give preference to people who bid earlier). That newest, lowest bid is then outbid and the winner of that token is the new bid.  The ETH is sent back to the non-winning bidder.

Raffle: At the end of the public auction, anyone who placed a bid that didn’t win (or submitted an entry with at least 0.1ETH) will be entered into a raffle. 

• A percent of each supply will be reserved for the raffle, with the chances of winning determined by the number of entries
• Wild will use a random number generator to pick winners, who will be sent the token immediately

In the event of two bids of exactly equal amounts, the winning bid will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis.

In the event you have a winning bid at the clearing price, you will pay one increment above the next highest bid amount i.e. if you bid .1, the clearing price is .1, and the next highest bid is .09, you will pay .1.

One of the many perks of owning a Wild Oasis is early Allowlist access for our artist drops. Oasis owners enjoy an early Allowlist window for each artist drop. Artists will also be determining their own criteria for Allowlist spots, so be sure to follow your favorites so you don’t miss any opportunities!

Wild Experiences represent both the immersive journey across our artist collections, as well as Wild’s own collections – starting with Wild Oasis.

Through a delightful, immersive, fun, and inclusive approach, we amplify artists’ visions and help them connect with fans, both existing and new. To start, these are available in web browsers, with additional mediums coming soon.

When you mint a piece on Wild, you will own the artwork itself which is transferable to all other secondary platforms. You will also enjoy a bespoke only-on-Wild experience designed for you to immerse yourself in the work exactly as the artist intended. 

In addition to new artist collections dropping weekly, we’ll continue to add special surprises and unique elements for Oasis owners. We’re also dreaming up new experiences through Wild’s Design Studio – continuing to deubt in 2023 and beyond, so stay tuned!

We’re a small-but-mighty team, with backgrounds from Apartment List, Google, Meta, Peloton, Robinhood, and Roblox. We also have investors – ranging from Matrix Partners and Reid Hoffman to long-time crypto supporters and enthusiasts – on our side as we build, challenge, immerse, create and explore. 

We’re hyper driven and competitive, with an always team-first approach. We’re quirky and creative, each with our own personal passion and connection to web3.
