Our verdict on Madworld

5.5/10

Madworld suits collectors who want NFTs tied to anime, extreme sports, fashion and music, and who are comfortable holding a small, speculative token like UMAD. Its main strengths are a named team with Animoca Brands advisors and a clearly documented 2021 token sale and MADminds NFT run. The main caveat is that much of the roadmap, including its own marketplace, metaverse and games, is still described as upcoming. No audits or fee details are published on the homepage, so research the current state before buying.

What is Madworld?

Madworld is a Web3 project that describes itself as an ecosystem for artists, creators, fans, investors and collectors. It concentrates on four areas: anime, extreme sports, fashion and music. It operates under the name Insanity Limited according to the site footer.

The project's best-documented milestones date from 2021. It sold its MADminds NFT series and ran a public sale of 55 million UMAD tokens at a listed price of $0.028, raising a reported US$1.54 million. The sale ran across several launch platforms, including an Animoca Brands launchpad.

The homepage names five co-founders plus a marketing chief and a business development lead, and lists advisors including three from Animoca Brands. Beyond that it speaks in broad terms of a multi-year roadmap with games, collaborations and a metaverse, without dates or specifics.

How Madworld works

Madworld creates NFT collections around anime, extreme sports, fashion and music, and sells them through drops announced on its social channels. After the initial mint, the NFTs trade on public marketplaces such as OpenSea. The project says it will add its own marketplace.

UMAD is the ecosystem token. It was sold publicly in late November 2021 and trades against WETH on Uniswap and Sushiswap. The project says it can be used for governance, liquidity farming, utility purchases, and marketing and content. The homepage adds that tighter links between NFTs and UMAD will be announced.

The homepage describes a longer roadmap of digital experiences, games, brand collaborations, a metaverse and stacked rewards. Partners are expected to follow a stated ethos of connectedness, culture and community. How far these plans have been delivered is not documented on the homepage.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Named co-founders, team members and advisors are published on the homepage.
  • The 2021 UMAD sale and MADminds NFT drops are documented, with the amounts raised and token counts stated.
  • UMAD trades on established decentralized exchanges, Uniswap and Sushiswap, so holders are not dependent on a single venue.
  • The focus on four verticals (anime, extreme sports, fashion, music) is clear.
  • Terms and Conditions, an AML/KYC policy, a privacy policy and a disclaimer are published.

Watch out for

  • The roadmap items on the homepage (own marketplace, metaverse, fan judging via live stream) are described as planned or upcoming, with no dates.
  • UMAD is a tradable token with market price risk, and the 2021 sale price may not reflect where it trades now.
  • No smart-contract audit reports are linked on the homepage.
  • The homepage gives few details on how UMAD and the NFTs connect, saying only that more integration will be announced.
  • The wording is broad (anime, sports, fashion, music, games, metaverse), so it is hard to tell which products are live and which are plans.
  • Fees, royalties and mint prices are not published on the homepage.

Madworld fees

Madworld does not publish a fee schedule on its homepage. NFT mint prices are announced per drop through its social channels, and any marketplace fees or royalties would be shown on the selling platform at the time of purchase.

UMAD trades on decentralized exchanges, so buyers pay the usual network gas fees and exchange swap fees. These vary with the chain and market conditions and are not set by Madworld.

Is Madworld safe?

Madworld does not link audit reports on its homepage, so smart-contract risk for the NFT and token contracts cannot be assessed from the site. Buyers should verify contract addresses through official channels and check for independent audits before sending funds.

The operator is named as Insanity Limited, and the Terms and Conditions include a KYC/AML statement. The homepage does not state a regulatory licence. Both UMAD and the NFTs are speculative assets whose prices can drop sharply, and NFTs may be hard to resell.

6 steps

How to get started with Madworld

  1. 1

    Read the Terms and Conditions and the AML/KYC policy on the official site, and check that taking part is allowed where you live.

  2. 2

    Follow the official social channels linked from the site to learn about upcoming drops and collaborations.

  3. 3

    Set up an Ethereum-compatible wallet and fund it with ETH for purchases and gas fees.

  4. 4

    For NFTs, buy at a drop when it opens or on a secondary marketplace such as OpenSea after minting.

  5. 5

    For UMAD, use Uniswap or Sushiswap as the homepage suggests, and verify the token contract through official links first.

  6. 6

    Only commit an amount you can afford to lose, since both NFTs and the token can fall sharply in value.

Who Madworld is for

Madworld is for NFT collectors and fans of anime, extreme sports, fashion and music who like brand-led drops and are comfortable with the price swings of small-cap tokens. It is not suited to anyone who needs audited contracts, fixed fee schedules or a finished product suite.
