Proposal: DAOs allocate 100% of their ETH treasury to swap for WILD

TLDR As Wilder World moves toward a more open and decentralized future, DAOs will play an active role in the Wilder economy through increased WILD participation. Currently, their treasuries are held in ETH. With ongoing initiatives such as Project Titan (WILD buybacks), Metropolis, and the upcoming Wilder Packs expected to drive demand, now presents a timely opportunity to convert ETH to WILD and maximize the amount of WILD secured at current prices.

Full Proposal Details We are submitting a formal proposal for the Wheels, Beasts, Kicks, Cribs, Crafts, Moto, Land, and PALs DAOs to allocate their full ETH treasuries to swap for WILD from the Wilder World Marketing & Liquidity allocation. This increases DAO WILD holdings while enabling the ETH to be repurposed for strategic open-market buybacks of WILD. With the current WILD prices, this is a timely opportunity to strengthen the Wilder World economy while aligning DAO holdings ahead of future increases in WILD utility and demand.

The WILD acquired through these swaps will be held in DAO custody, not distributed or sold, helping reduce circulating supply ahead of major campaigns like Metropolis and the upcoming Wilder Pack release. The ETH obtained through the swaps will then be used to algorithmically buy back WILD on the open market. This is a powerful mechanism designed to reduce sell pressure, drive token demand, and increase long-term holder value as the Wilder economy expands.

This initiative builds on the recent reduction in staking emissions and forms part of a broader strategy to enhance token sustainability and decentralized alignment. By deepening DAO exposure to WILD and activating buybacks that support the token’s value, this proposal signals strong collective conviction and long-term commitment at a pivotal moment for Wilder World.

✨ Benefits of the ETH to WILD Swap:

• Reduces Circulating Supply WILD from the swap goes into DAO custody, and additional market buybacks remove more WILD from circulation.
• Strengthens the WILD Economy Buybacks apply consistent upward pressure and boost market confidence in the token economy.
• Secures WILD at Favourable Prices DAOs acquire WILD at today’s prices, positioning themselves ahead of future growth and utility expansion.
• Aligns DAO Treasuries with Wilder World’s Vision Transforms DAOs from passive ETH holders into aligned, WILD-powered participants in the ecosystem.

🗳️Voting Options 

• Option A: Swap ETH for WILD The DAOs swap 100% their ETH for WILD, from the Marketing & Liquidity allocations in the original WILD tokenomics. The WILD is sent directly to the DAO treasury, and the ETH is used to buy back WILD on the open market.
• Option B: No Swap No ETH is swapped or used. 

✅ Execution Information:

• ETH to WILD Swap:
  • A DAO proposal will be initiated to swap 100% of the ETH treasury in each DAO for WILD. If approved via their respective token-gated votes, the total ETH allocated for swap by each DAO will be as follows:
    • Wheels DAO — 414 ETH 
    • Beasts DAO — 314 ETH
    • Kicks DAO —  52 ETH
    • Moto DAO —  38 ETH 
    • Crafts DAO —  26 ETH
    • Land DAO —  25 ETH 
    • Cribs DAO —  24 ETH 
    • PALs DAO —  6 ETH 
    • Wilder World DAO — 12 ETH 
• WILD Allocation: The WILD acquired will be held in DAO custody and not sold or distributed, helping to reduce circulating supply and strengthen long-term ecosystem sustainability.

✍ Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Reduces circulating supply of WILD, reinforcing long-term value through both treasury-held WILD and open-market buybacks.
• Positions the DAOs as committed ecosystem stewards, with greater alignment to Wilder World’s token economy.
• Capitalizes on current market conditions to acquire WILD from the Marketing & Liquidity allocations at favorable prices, while buybacks support token price momentum.
• Aligns DAO and treasury strategy with Wilder World’s growth trajectory and decentralized economic vision.

Cons:

• Reduces immediate ETH liquidity for other DAO initiatives or diversification.
• Increases exposure to WILD price volatility in the short term, particularly if market conditions shift before utility scales.

FAQs

Where will the WILD come from? The WILD will come from the Wilder ecosystem’s Marketing & Liquidity allocation. It will be swapped in exchange for ETH from each DAO (if Option A passes), ensuring the DAOs receive WILD directly. The ETH will then be used for strategic open-market buybacks.

What will the WILD be used for? It will be held in DAO custody, not sold or distributed, reducing circulating supply and increasing alignment with the Wilder World economy.

Why is this vote necessary? Each DAO must vote to approve treasury activity. This proposal requires DAO approval to proceed with converting ETH into WILD and formalizing the buyback strategy.

How will the price be determined? If Option A (the swap) passes, the ETH to WILD price will be based on the 24-hour volume weighted average price (VWAP) at the time of the swap.

If Option B (no swap) passes, no action will be taken and the ETH remains in the DAO.

When will the swap or buyback take place? For Option A, the swap will take place within 1 week days of the vote concluding. The ETH will then be used to conduct algorithmic buybacks on the open market.

Who is eligible to vote? Holders of NFTs from the following DAO contracts are eligible to vote. Voting is restricted to assets from the specific DAO associated with each proposal. Industry DAOs:

How will this affect the WILD tokenomics? This initiative reduces circulating supply by:

1. Moving WILD from the Marketing & Liquidity allocation into DAO custody (if Option A passes)
2. Using the received ETH for strategic algorithmic buybacks on the open market

Together, these mechanisms support long-term token sustainability and value alignment without minting new WILD or drawing from reserves.
