Wilder World raises $3 million for a metaverse built around NFT art

Wilder World has raised $3 million to create a “metaverse” around art that is monetized by nonfungible tokens, or NFTs.

Wilder World is working with Zero.Space on the tech side, and it was started by 3D artist Frank Wilder. Rather than start one more site to sell NFT art, Wilder World is creating a world with the Epic Games’ Unreal Engine using a decentralized team, dubbed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO. The idea is to create a project more ambitious than any single artist could do on their own, said Wilder in an interview with GamesBeat.
