1. Introduction

Wasteland Cactus Crew is a generative collection of 5,000 prickly Cacti PFPs. Comprised of over 200 unique traits including backgrounds, accessories, clothing, facial expressions, jewelry & much more.

Get ready to immerse yourself in our unique Cactiverse comprised of the Genesis collection, an exclusive pass collection called Crew Card, the Outcast collection, and the Sprouts collection. Each will play an integral role in the future of the Wasteland!

Our mission is to create a global brand centered around our beloved main character, Biff. Our brand will be supported by our amazing community which stems from all walks of life and parts of the globe. We will succeed in this mission by delivering an exceptional experience, our Cactiverse. While growing to be a brand you can trust in web3, we plan to also produce exceptional physical merchandise in the niches we plan to operate; Comics, physical statues, clothing, jewelry, shoes, and much more!

“There is no turning back once you cross into the wasteland…“

Although NFTs projects are making huge strides, there are still gaps that we are looking to fill. NFTs are beginning to dominate the virtual world with lots of new exciting tech and applications although many still have a hard time understanding their relevance in the real world.

2. Objectives

The team behind WLCC strives toward a rich NFT project by developing the following key areas:

Community Building
Utility
The Metaverse
Outstanding Mechanisms / Physicals

Community Building

We learned about the importance of a strong community very early in our journey. The base support of a loyal community propels a project to the loftiest of heights.

In addition, nothing beats the thrill of having a cohort of fellow cacti that share the same vision and passion, united by the common goal of building something worthwhile together.

WLCC also knows how to have fun. In addition to serving as an administrative platform, our Discord Server hosts all sorts of entertaining activities. We organize games and contests, which creates an avenue for community members to mix it up and interact with each other whilst getting to know more about the team and community supporting WLCC.

Our goal is to create a fun, engaged interactive community with efficient communication by providing online forums for Wastelanders to chat, share opinions and make suggestions about the project. Furthermore, we intend to carry every member along by updating holders on our project's progress and recent developments via AMA meetings and regular announcements through our Discord channel and other social media platforms.

Art Contests

We recognize the integral part artists play in the existence of this project. That’s why we'll be giving back to the broader digital art community to show our appreciation. To this end, we have set up an initiative focused on our artists’ welfare called “Back to the Roots”. The "WLCC Art Competition'' is a product of this initiative. The event serves as a podium for underground artists in the digital craft space to find exposure for their work. It gives artists the creative freedom to express their imagination's full width by creating digital art pieces. We set the themes, and the artists are given one week to make submissions. After compiling, a set of judges picks the best work.

Utility

WLCC promises to develop a unique project by creating utility for holders.

Our NFTs go beyond mere digital art with a collectible value; WLCC will also be assigning scores of concrete value to them such as exclusive in-person membership, special access to events, physicals & much more!

The Metaverse

WLCC is very aware of the present while also securing space in the future, and where is that, The Metaverse. We will be extending our presence to the Metaverse through the acquisition of land in The Sandbox.

3. A step into the Physical world

As already mentioned WLCC will have way more utility than just in the digital world. With our collection of aesthetic physicals, our project will hold worth in both worlds.

The physicals are only the beginning, a tip of the iceberg; physicals will form a big part of this project in the future. Our goal is to dominate the NFT space in this topic.

Statue

We’ll be handing out statues modeled after Biff, the main character created by Walter for Wasteland Cactus Crew. Each statue is hand-made & hand-painted by a renowned Mexican craftsman with over 10 years of experience in making toys. The figures are made of ceramic and are 7.5 inches tall.

Supply: 200

Rugs

Another one of our physicals is rugs made up of natural wool. They stretch a length of 3.2 feet. The producers behind this item have worked with high-end companies such as shoe manufacturers, stores, and beverage manufacturers.

Supply: 20

4. $WSTLND Token

Launched in Q1 2022, the $WSTLND token is the native token for WLCC. It serves as a governance and utility token for upcoming developments in the WLCC Ecosystem.

1 $WSTLND = 1 $WSTLND

Sandbox

$WSTLND tokens will act as a tender for making purchases of any form of exchange that would require a symbol of value in the Cactiverse.

Our native Token will possess an earning potential. Users can wager them in the WLCC Casino for a chance to win Tokens, NFTs, or even the Big Jackpot.

In addition, $WSTLND token holders are entitled to certain perks and exclusive access to challenges, contests, and community events held in the Metaverse.

Black Market

We have a huge marketplace featuring Physicals and never seen merch, Sandbox items, NFTs, and more. The exchange of these items will be done exclusively with the $WSTLND token.

Breeding

The Wasteland Cactus Crew is proud to present The Sprouts - another collection in the WLCC Cactiverse, minted through the WLCC utility token $WSTLND!

The Sprouts will be created through a truly unique breeding and germination experience. There will be 5,000 Sprouts in total. We wanted our community to have an engaging experience that was not only fun and interactive but requires time invested to make this an experience to remember.

To breed a Sprout you will need; 2 Genesis WLCC NFT's and 350 $WSTLND. In exchange for burning your $WSTLND you will be given a Breedpot. This pot is very special, make sure to handle it with care!

Add water to your Breedpot and wait for 4:20 (4 hours and 20 minutes) to see the Metadata refresh to phase 2! In phase 2 you will notice a change in your Flower Pot, a Sprout may be starting to take form! In this phase, you will Fertilize your Sprout and wait another 4:20 when your Sprout will reveal its final true metadata.

5. Tokenomics

WLCC has designed deflationary tokenomics for our $WSTLND Token to ensure its continuous appreciation of value. We intend to create a limited supply by capping the total amount of tokens in circulation at 20 million.

Distribution

We allotted fractions of our tokens to different sections to aid the circulation and liquidity of the ecosystem. The WLCC Team divided the distribution of the token into varying portions between the following sections as given below.

Staking Rewards (70%)
The largest ratio of token distribution will go to rewarding users for staking Genesis NFTs. We will be issuing 10 $WSTLND tokens for every Genesis NFT staked on our platform. Rewards for staking NFTs will stop as soon as the total supply reaches maximum capacity.
Treasury (25%)
Assets held in the treasury, account for $WSTLND tokens available for funding the liquidity pool, marketing campaigns, as well as rewarding users on Sandbox. The latter takes half the entire allocation (50%), while the former split the rest equally (25%)
Team (5%)
The team gets the smallest allocation of $WSTLND tokens. Three months after the token launch, they receive 2% of the entire distribution. One year later, an additional 3% is added to the team member's share, making a total of 5%.

6. Crew Cards

Crew Cards are exclusive digital collectibles consisting of only 200 NFTs. Originally designed as a mint pass for the Genesis NFT, their use has evolved into much more. In the future, the Crew Card will become one of the strongest pillars of the Wasteland Cactus Crew Ecosystem.

Soon enough, a handful of benefits will be enjoyed by Crew Card holders. They will be entitled to one unique Wasteland Outcast, which assigns an avatar to every holder's Crew Card.

There's more. In the future, we are going to develop an interesting reward mechanism for Crew Cards. In this new system, holders are promised a myriad of exciting benefits for burning their Cards.

Tempting as the rewards might seem, people that hang on to their Crew Cards are at an advantage in the long run. Those that sacrifice their cards for the immediate gratification of rewards miss out on upcoming airdrops and other potential packages in the future.
