General Questions
What is Wadoozie?
Wadoozie is a narrative-driven, on-chain attention network built on Ethereum. A returning signal travels through 48 U.S. states, activating one node at a time. 576 Signal Fragments are hidden across the physical and digital world, a creator-powered Publishers Network amplifies the mission, and $WADZ is the native token that ties it all together.
How does the network work?
The network runs on a single restoration loop. Wadoozie creates the signal. Fragments activate nodes. Publishers distribute the signal. $WADZ aligns participation across the whole thing. Content creates attention, attention brings new participants, participation drives activation, and activation creates new content.
How do I get started?
Open the Bus Tracker to see where Wadoozie is right now. Open the map to see which nodes are active. Follow the stream and the social channels. From there, the next step depends on the role you want — hold $WADZ, create a publisher profile, or show up at the next active node.
Where is the tour right now?
The Tour runs from late May through the end of September across 48 states, opens at the Austin Flagship, and closes at the New Orleans return. The Bus Tracker at tracker.wadoozie.com shows the live location.
Token Questions
What is $WADZ?
$WADZ is the native ERC-20 token of the Wadoozie ecosystem. It is the unit that rewards contribution, coordinates incentives, and reflects standing across the network. The story comes first; $WADZ exists to make participation in that story measurable and worth returning to.
What is the contract address?
The official $WADZ contract is 0x8a730da6d4f483917a53072d9a8e5eef4b105d72, verifiable on Etherscan. Do not trust any address not listed on wadoozie.com.
What is the total supply?
Two billion $WADZ are minted at genesis. 999,999,999 are burned at launch. The remaining 1,000,000,001 is the permanent effective supply. The +1 is the Wadoozie Genesis token — a single, symbolic $WADZ minted to the address resolved from wadoozie.eth.
What does $WADZ do inside the network?
$WADZ plays four connected roles. Reward — it pays approved clips, fragment recoveries, challenges, and publisher activity. Progression — it is the visible signal of contribution and standing. Coordination — it anchors campaigns, bounties, leaderboards, and node-based missions around a shared unit. Access — it unlocks special drops, in-person experiences, gated missions, and publisher perks as the ecosystem expands.
Is there a tax?
Zero. 0% buy, 0% sell, and the contract is renounced post-launch — there is no tax function to toggle.
How is the supply allocated?
75% to the Liquidity Pool (locked, DAO-governed). 10% to the Treasury (DAO-governed multi-sig). 7% to Publisher Rewards. 5% to Signal Fragments. 3% to the Team (locked 12 months). And one symbolic Wadoozie Genesis token tied to wadoozie.eth.
What is the price formula?
With a clean ~1 billion effective supply, the math is simple: price = market cap ÷ 1 billion. A $100 position at launch is 1,600,000 $WADZ. At a $100M market cap, that position is $160,000. At $1B, $1,600,000.
Rewards Questions
How do rewards work?
Rewards flow to actions that grow the network — fragment recoveries, approved publisher submissions, mission participation, challenges, and seasonal bounties. Two on-chain pools fund direct community payouts: the 5% Signal Fragments pool (49,999,500 $WADZ) and the 7% Publisher Rewards pool (70,000,000 $WADZ).
When do rewards get paid?
Fragment recoveries pay out after verification, from a dedicated multi-sig wallet. Publisher submissions move through a defined review pipeline — approved submissions draw from the Publisher Rewards pool. Every submission shows its current status, so nothing sits in a black box.
How does redemption work?
When a reward is approved, the user confirms it, redeems it, and sees the claim recorded in their reward history. For online fragments, the flow is specific: the puzzle resolves to a 3-word secret, the hunter submits the words in the official Discord #fragment-claims channel, the recovery is verified, and the payout lands from the SIGNAL_FRAGMENTS multi-sig.
How do badges work?
Badges mark progress, participation, and standing across the network — a visible record of what someone has done and how far they've gone. (Product intent — the badge system layers on top of the litepaper mechanics rather than being defined inside the litepaper itself.)
How does the leaderboard work?
Leaderboards rank publishers by approved work, performance, mission activity, and challenge results. Standing is public, and the exact ranking rules are visible inside the Publishers Center.
Publisher Questions
How do submissions work?
Publishers sign in with a wallet, create a profile in the Publishers Center, and submit clips, posts, or remixes through a dedicated flow. Every submission moves through review and surfaces a status — in review, approved, paid, or declined.
What kind of content qualifies?
Short-form content from streams, activations, fragment recoveries, lore moments, or original takes on the mission. The point is to move the signal — clip it, post it, remix it, compete to amplify it.
How are publishers paid?
Approved submissions pay from the 7% Publisher Rewards pool — 70,000,000 $WADZ reserved specifically to pay creators who move the mission. Base rewards scale with performance. Leaderboards, multipliers, and seasonal bounties layer on top.
Governance Questions
How is the network governed?
Two allocations are directly community-controlled. The Liquidity Pool is locked and DAO-governed — any change requires a passed on-chain vote, and no individual or team wallet can move LP tokens. The Treasury is a multi-sig wallet under DAO governance — every spend requires a community proposal that approves the amount, the destination, and the use case.
How do proposals work?
A proposal moves through a clear lifecycle — submit, review, active, voting, result, archive. The full governance specification, including signers, voting thresholds, and dispute handling, will be published in the Treasury governance playbook before the first proposal opens.
How does voting work?
Voting is on-chain and gated by eligibility rules published before the first vote. The platform shows who can vote, how votes are weighted, and what threshold passes a proposal.
What does treasury transparency mean?
The Treasury holds 100,000,000 $WADZ (10% of effective supply) and funds five categories — CEX listings and market making, operational reserves, grants and partnerships, marketing and growth, and token buybacks. Every spend is gated by a community vote and visible on-chain. The Treasury is the only allocation in the entire tokenomics that the community directly controls, and that control is the entire point of making it transparent.
Wallet Questions
Why do I need a wallet?
A wallet connects you to $WADZ, publisher payouts, fragment redemptions, governance votes, and any gated mission feature. The public surfaces — the Tracker, the map, the stream — work without a wallet. Anything that pays you or counts you needs one.
Which wallets are supported?
MetaMask and WalletConnect-compatible wallets are the primary supported options. The full supported list is published on wadoozie.com.
How do I keep my wallet safe?
Protect your private keys. Never share your seed phrase. Always verify the contract address against 0x8a730da6d4f483917a53072d9a8e5eef4b105d72 on Etherscan before sending any funds. Use the official links from wadoozie.com — never trust an address from a DM, a comment, or any account not listed on the official site.
Platform Questions
What is the map?
The map is the live view of the network. It shows which nodes are dormant, which are active, where the Tour has been, where it is going next, and what just happened. The map is how the mission becomes geography you can watch move.
What are nodes?
Each of the 48 states is a node — a point in a living network that has forgotten it is part of something larger. When Wadoozie activates a state, that node moves from dormant to active and stays live until the activation closes.
What are Signal Fragments?
Signal Fragments are mission-linked items tied to nodes. There are 576 fragments in total — 336 hidden across the 48 states (exactly 7 per state: 4 Common, 1 Uncommon, 1 Rare, 1 Legendary) and 240 in the online pool. Every recovery pays the person who found it and advances the node it belonged to.
What does an activation do?
When Wadoozie reaches a state, three things happen at once. The node goes live on the map. The state's seven fragments enter the field. The community converges — on the ground and online.
What do updates mean?
Updates surface what is happening right now — route changes, node activity, fragment recoveries, publisher activity, and community moments. They are how the mission stays visibly in motion.

Legal Questions
What risks should I know about?
Crypto involves risk. Token value can fluctuate sharply. Participation involves wallet risk, technical risk, and exposure to smart contract behavior. Some features may be limited or unavailable in certain regions. Read the full risk and legal disclaimer at wadoozie.com before participating more deeply.
What is the disclaimer for?
The disclaimer is the standard legal framing for the project: Wadoozie does not provide financial advice, does not guarantee outcomes, and does not promise token value or specific results. The full text lives on wadoozie.com.
How is my privacy handled?
The privacy policy on wadoozie.com explains what data the platform collects, how it is used, and which parts of user activity are visible inside the ecosystem. Wallet addresses, on-chain activity, and public publisher contributions are visible by design — they are how the network stays accountable.
Where is the audit?
The CertiK audit report is published at launch and linked from wadoozie.com.
