Governance
Wildoria's long-term plan is to hand control of meaningful decisions to the people who hold WLD - its citizens. The on-chain framework for that (proposals, voting, time-locked execution) is already deployed and publicly verifiable. The activation of binding governance is staged so the world doesn't get steered by a handful of early-test wallets before there's a real community.
Governance specs
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Voting power source | Your delegated WLD balance |
| Vote weighting | Snapshot at the block the proposal was created - flash-loan attacks blocked by design |
| Delegation | Required (you can delegate to yourself); enables WLD-as-voting-power |
| Execution | Through a 2-day time-locked controller - no instant changes |
| Cancellable after vote | Yes, during the 2-day timelock window |
| Network | Avalanche (currently Fuji testnet during open beta) |
What governance can decide (when active)
The intended scope is deliberately conservative:
- Treasury allocation - how a portion of in-game fees and reserve growth gets deployed (community grants, ecosystem incentives, infrastructure spending).
- Marketplace fee rate within a hard-coded range.
- Tunable economic parameters - thresholds, alarm levels, and similar values that don't break the game's safety properties.
- Future contracts - approving, parameterising or pausing new peripheral contracts that join the ecosystem.
Some things are deliberately not governance-controllable:
- The WLD hard cap (1 B). Mathematically immutable - even governance cannot mint past it.
- The Bank's solvency rules. Withdrawals still require a one-time authorization; governance cannot mass-drain.
- Sealed NFT ownership. Your character / item is yours regardless of any vote.
How a proposal flows
- Anyone with enough WLD voting power submits a proposal describing the change they want.
- A voting period opens. WLD holders cast votes; weight comes from delegated balances at the block the proposal was created.
- If the proposal hits quorum + majority, it queues into the timelock.
- The timelock waits 2 days before the change can execute.
- Anyone can then execute the queued proposal, and the change lands on-chain.
The 2-day timelock is the most important piece. It exists for two reasons:
- Anyone unhappy with the outcome can exit before the change lands (sell their NFTs, withdraw their WLD, etc.).
- A bad-faith proposal that somehow passed can be cancelled by the admin role before it executes. The window is the safety net.
Voting power and delegation
Voting weight equals your delegated WLD balance at the time the proposal was created. Two implications:
- Voting is a snapshot. Buying WLD after a proposal exists doesn't give you a vote on it. Selling WLD after the snapshot doesn't take your vote away. This kills flash-loan governance attacks.
- You must delegate to vote. Balances do not automatically count as voting power until they're delegated. Most people delegate to themselves. After that, every WLD balance change automatically updates your voting weight.
Activation timeline
Governance activates in stages:
- Today (open beta on Fuji): machinery deployed and public; no binding decisions routed through it. Used for end-to-end testing of the full flow.
- Mainnet launch: governance contracts redeployed, voting power distributed via the live WLD token. Initial parameters published in the launch announcement.
- First binding proposals: opened only after WLD circulation and holder distribution reach a healthy threshold. Until then, the admin role retains the ability to act in genuinely urgent situations - and every action it takes is publicly visible on-chain.
We'd rather wait and ship governance with real participation than rush it and hand power to a handful of insiders.
Verify it yourself

You can check live, with no Wildoria account required:
- The current voting delay (blocks between proposal creation and voting opening)
- The current voting period (how long votes stay open)
- The Timelock's minimum delay before execution
- Every proposal ever created, its votes, its outcome
The governance contracts on Fuji are not routing real decisions today. Mainnet brings new contracts; testnet voting power does not transfer.
