Rejected, not worthless
The whole collection runs on one idea: the things the world casts aside are exactly the things worth building around. That idea shows up again later, in the tokenomics.
$WASTE and the forge
The ecosystem token comes after mint. It's earned by burning things, and spent at the forge.
-
01
Burn selected assets
Selected NFTs and tokens, not all of them, and not only WASTELAND ones. Outside collections are eligible too.
-
02
Receive $WASTE
The amount depends on what you burned, rarity, collection and token all factor in.
-
03
Enter the forge
$WASTE is spent at the forge, alongside other inputs, to produce materials.
-
04
Forge relics
Materials lead to relics, the rarer tier. More uses for $WASTE arrive as the ecosystem grows.
The burn is permanent. Once an asset is burned it does not come back, treat every burn decision as final.
Burning neglected assets to mint $WASTE gives value to things already written off as useless. It's the collection's whole thesis, expressed as a mechanic rather than a slogan.

My take
One supporter's read, not the team's words.
The art got me first
Honestly, the art is what pulled me in. First of its kind, I hadn't seen anything like it before.
Transparent about AI
The team has been openly transparent about their use of AI. We don't see that much in this space, and I hope they keep it up.
The burn mechanic
Love the idea of burning neglected tokens and collections for $WASTE, I might finally clear out some dead NFTs. Still curious how collections get selected.
Don't rush the mint
Not much has been shared about the ecosystem beyond the NFTs yet. I hope the team cooks properly rather than rushing to mint, they've got something good here.
