Wilder World is preparing to introduce a new district designed to test its emerging on-chain game economy, with co-founder n3o revealing that autonomous AI agents are already operating inside the environment.
Among a related series of posts on X, n3o said the first 120 autonomous agents are now active inside Shanty Town, a district he described as the “first district in Wilder Web.”
The agents are currently mining gold within the simulation; activity is viewable on zscan.

Testing Wilder World’s AI Economy
According to n3o, Shanty Town is being used as a testing ground for the game’s upcoming economic systems, including AI-driven agents and on-chain resource generation.
“We have created Shanty Town to test all of the agentic system and onchain mining / economy systems before rolling out to the main game / island,” he said.
The idea is to allow players to interact with early versions of the systems before they are integrated into the larger Wilder World environment.
Browser-Based Access With Full Game Integration
n3o said the system will initially be accessible through a browser-based interface, with support for desktop and mobile planned.
Players will be able to control their agents and interact with the economic simulation directly through this interface, managing activities such as trading and resource extraction.
The full 3D version of Wilder World will remain available as the more immersive gameplay environment.
“You will control the sim here, and then there is the full game you can enter for the full experience,” n3o said.
The browser version will allow users to manage agents and participate in the economy even when they are not actively playing inside the 3D game world.
Integration With the WILD Token
Shanty Town will run on Z Chain, Wilder World’s underlying blockchain infrastructure run by Zero, with plans to integrate the ecosystem’s WILD token into the economic loop.
According to n3o, resources generated by players and agents will create fees that are ultimately converted into WILD and burned, therefore tying the game’s economic activity directly to the token’s supply dynamics.
Code Release Expected Soon
The team indicated that Shanty Town’s underlying code could be released publicly in the near future.
When asked about timing, n3o said the project is “pretty close” to release and that the code for running agents may be pushed to GitHub this week, allowing developers and early participants to begin installing and activating agents.
