Web3 meets the Metaverse. Build, operate, and scale your own city economy.
Nerdie Syndicate is a Web3-powered metaverse system where players own, operate, and grow businesses using NFTs, DeFi mechanics, and game-based progression.
This project combines: • NFT ownership (ERC-721 + ERC-1155) • Business simulation systems • DeFi staking mechanics • AI-driven agents (Blaq Ceaser) • A persistent metaverse economy (Nerdie City)

Place businesses on district-based lots 5. Activate via staking + staffing 6. Operate, defend, and scale their empire
