Wasteland Kin: Whitepaper

1. Introduction​

Wasteland Kin is a post-apocalyptic multiplayer text-based RPG that integrates blockchain technology to enhance governance, player engagement, and in-game economy. The game is designed to be accessible to non-crypto players while offering token-based governance and exclusive perks for early backers and investors. This whitepaper outlines the vision, mechanics, governance model, and tokenomics of Wasteland Kin.

2. Vision and Core Features​

2.1 Game Concept​

  • A player-driven world where settlements, alliances, and decisions shape the wasteland.
  • Text-based gameplay focused on choice-driven storytelling, reputation systems, and strategy.
  • Survival mechanics including resource management, faction dynamics, and in-game economy.

2.2 Key Features​

  • ✅ Settlement System – Build, upgrade, and manage settlements.
  • ✅ Governance & Voting – Token holders influence game updates, world events, and new content.
  • ✅ Auction House – Player-to-player trading (using in-game currency only).
  • ✅ NPC & Mission System – Players interact with NPCs for missions, storylines, and economic ventures.
  • ✅ Dynamic Reputation System – NPC factions react to players based on choices and governance votes.
  • ✅ Non-Pay-to-Win Model – Core game is accessible to everyone, with token perks limited to governance and customization.

3. Blockchain Integration & Token Utility​

3.1 Governance Token (WKN)​

The WKN token powers governance and exclusive in-game features but does not act as a pay-to-win mechanism.

3.2 Token Utility​

  • Governance & Voting – Token holders propose and vote on game updates, faction events, and lore expansions.
  • Exclusive Customization – Unlock unique banners and settlement insignias.
  • In-Game Perks – Reduced auction fees, unique NPC interactions, and QoL enhancements.
  • Premium Story Content – Unlock hidden lore, side quests, and settlement histories.
  • Community-Driven Features – Token holders can submit NPC and faction concepts.
  • WKN to Kals Conversion – Players can exchange WKN tokens for Kals, the premium in-game currency used for special boosts, exclusive events, and high-tier customization options.

3.3 Deflationary Model​

  • Fixed supply of 1 billion WKN tokens.
  • Buyback & Burn Mechanism – A portion of revenue is used to buy back and burn tokens, ensuring long-term scarcity.
  • No Play-to-Earn Mechanics – Ensures game balance and sustainability.
