Metacade Max Litepaper

The AI Concierge of Rewards, Gaming & Onchain Entertainment on Base

1. Executive Summary

Metacade Max (“Max”) is a character-driven, AI-powered digital concierge designed to become the face of rewards, gaming, and onchain discovery on Base.

Powered by the $METACADEMAX token, Max operates across onchain content, AI agents, games, and interactive experiences—guiding users toward rewards, gameplay, and opportunities within the Metacade ecosystem and the broader Base network.

Max is not just a mascot. He is a scalable IP, an onchain creator, a utility layer, and a distribution engine for Metacade—designed to onboard users, retain attention, and unlock sustainable monetization.

2. Vision

Our vision is for Max to become the most recognizable onchain character on Base.

In 2026, Max will:

  • Act as an AI agent inside Base App, guiding users to rewards, games, quests, and Metacade products

  • Serve as a native onboarding concierge for new Base users

  • Operate as a daily onchain creator, earning and scaling through the Zora stack

  • Appear as a playable or featured character across multiple games

  • Represent Metacade through content, campaigns, and partnerships

  • Anchor a growing ecosystem of token utility, liquidity, and incentives

This positions Metacade not only as a gaming platform, but as a consumer brand powered by character IP and culture.

3. The Max Character & IP

Max is a purpose-built character designed for:

  • Web3 natives

  • Gamers

  • Onchain explorers

  • New users entering Base

IP Strategy

  • Consistent visual identity and recognizable personality

  • Narrative-driven evolution aligned with Metacade product launches

IP Expansion (2026 Focus)

  • In-game appearances (NPCs, playable characters, guides)

  • Product placement across Metacade Arcade titles

  • Sponsored integrations with Base ecosystem partners

  • Potential licensed use of Max in external games and experiences

Max’s IP is designed to compound in value as his presence expands across platforms.

4. Onchain Content & Zora Stack Strategy

Max is designed to be a self-sustaining onchain content engine.

Through the Zora stack, Max will publish daily onchain content, allowing the character to:

  • Earn directly from content creation

Why Zora

The Zora stack enables:

  • Native Base distribution

  • Long-term creator earnings without reliance on centralized platforms

By leveraging Zora, Max becomes:

  • A creator

  • An earning digital character

This ensures Max is not a cost centre, but a revenue-generating onchain asset for the Metacade ecosystem.

Over time, Max evolves into:
