# Executive Summary
### Wanted Network
**Wanted Network is an independent creator-rewards platform built for the attention economy around major gaming launch cycles.**
Gaming launches are no longer just release dates. They are global content events. Every trailer, pricing debate, prediction, meme, reaction, livestream, gameplay clip, and creator breakdown becomes part of a larger attention cycle.
Wanted Network is designed to turn that attention into a competitive creator economy.
Through the platform, creators complete **Missions**, build **Heat**, climb the **Wanted Board**, and compete for **Bounties** powered by **WNTD**, the Wanted Network Token.
The core idea is simple:
> **Create Content. Build Heat. Become Wanted.**
### The Season 1 Opportunity
Wanted Network’s first major campaign, **Season 1: Open World Launch**, focuses on original creator content around the **GTA 6 launch cycle**.
Creators will be able to participate through approved Missions such as:
* trailer reactions
* feature predictions
* meme and short-form content
* commentary and hot takes
* launch-week clips
* community-voted submissions
* creator Bounties and leaderboard competitions
Wanted Network is not a GTA 6 token. It does not function inside GTA 6. It does not sell, tokenize, or represent ownership of any GTA-related assets.
Instead, Wanted Network rewards creators who produce original content around major gaming moments.
> **Wanted Network does not bring crypto into games. It brings rewards, visibility, and competition to the creator economy around gaming.**
### Why Wanted Network Exists
Creators already compete for attention across platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, X, Twitch, and livestream communities.
But that attention is fragmented.
A creator can make a viral clip, prediction, meme, or breakdown — yet there is no dedicated reward layer built around major gaming launch cycles. There is no unified leaderboard. No recurring Bounty system. No creator reputation score. No way for creators to turn launch-cycle attention into platform-native status, rewards, and promotional opportunities.
Wanted Network creates that layer.
The platform gives creators:
* clear Missions to complete
* a Heat score to build
* leaderboard visibility through the Wanted Board
* WNTD-powered Bounties
* Safehouse creator tools
* promotional opportunities through Wanted Spotlight
* access to future creator campaigns beyond Season 1
For crypto participants, Wanted Network creates a token economy tied to content, attention, creator participation, and campaign activity — not an abstract promise or empty narrative.
### What WNTD Does
**WNTD is the utility token powering the Wanted Network attention economy.**
Creators can earn WNTD by completing Missions, ranking on the Wanted Board, and winning Bounties.
WNTD can also be staked or spent to unlock additional platform utility, including:
* premium Mission access
* higher-value Bounty eligibility
* capped Heat Boosts
* Safehouse creator tools
* community voting
* creator profile upgrades
* Wanted Spotlight promotional placements
* sponsor-funded campaign participation
This creates a simple token loop:
1. Creators generate attention.
2. Attention builds Heat.
3. Heat helps creators climb the Wanted Board.
4. Top creators earn WNTD through Bounties.
5. WNTD can be staked or spent to unlock more access, visibility, tools, and promotional opportunities.
6. Sponsors and communities can use WNTD to fund creator campaigns and launch new Bounties.
In short:
> **WNTD is earned by creating Heat and used to become more Wanted.**
### Wanted Spotlight
One of the core demand drivers for WNTD is **Wanted Spotlight**.
Wanted Spotlight allows creators and sponsors to use WNTD to unlock promotional inventory across the Wanted Network ecosystem, including:
* homepage creator features
* Wanted Board highlights
* X/Twitter mentions
* Telegram and Discord features
* Weekly Dispatch placements
* creator interviews
* featured submission slots
* selected media and PR campaign opportunities
This gives WNTD direct utility beyond rewards.
Creators do not only want tokens. Creators want visibility, audience growth, credibility, and distribution.
Wanted Spotlight allows WNTD to function as an access token for attention inside the Wanted Network ecosystem.
### Built on Solana
WNTD is launching as an SPL token on **Solana**.
Solana was selected because Wanted Network is designed for high-volume, low-cost creator interactions. Missions, Bounties, claims, staking actions, creator rewards, and future platform activity require a fast and affordable network that can support retail users, creators, and global participation.
The goal is simple:
> Make WNTD easy to use, easy to move, and accessible to creators and crypto participants worldwide.
### The Long-Term Vision
Season 1 begins with creator content around the GTA 6 launch cycle, but Wanted Network is designed to expand beyond one game, one launch, or one campaign.
The long-term vision is to become a creator-rewards network for major gaming and entertainment moments.
Future campaigns may focus on:
* major game launches
* esports events
* streaming trends
* creator competitions
* gaming communities
* sponsor-funded Bounties
* viral content campaigns
* partner launches and ecosystem events
Wanted Network’s model is built around a repeatable flywheel:
> **Major launch cycles create attention.**\
> **Creators compete for that attention.**\
> **Wanted Network rewards and ranks that competition.**\
> **WNTD powers the economy around it.**
