Landmarks (Major Collective Projects)

The Landmark Tier System

Like Colonies, Landmarks evolve through six major stages, tied to the market cap of their coin. But instead of functioning as cities, they become massive structures, statues, and symbols that reflect culture and belief.

Tier 1 — The Spark (~$1M MC)

• A small statue, banner, or emblem appears.

• It signals the birth of a Landmark — culture has entered the world.

• Economy: land nearby gains novelty value, with collectors speculating early.

Tier 2 — The Idol (~$10M MC)

• The Spark grows into an Idol — larger, more recognizable, and a magnet for attention.

• The Landmark now stands as a known point of interest in Landora.

• Economy: trading activity starts to cluster around it as visibility rises.

Tier 3 — The Relic (~$50M MC)

• The Idol becomes a Relic.

• Architecture expands, details emerge, and the Landmark gains permanence.

• Economy: land near Relics often flips at a premium, as players anticipate higher stages.

Tier 4 — The Obelisk (~$100M MC)

• The Relic stretches into an Obelisk — tall, undeniable, and impossible to ignore.

• The Landmark becomes a dominant visual structure in the skyline.

• Economy: plots near Obelisks become prestige locations for players who want to build around cultural icons.

Tier 5 — The Monument (~$500M MC)

• The Landmark transforms into a Monument.

• Entire districts of Landora orient themselves around it, creating cultural hubs.

• Economy: land near Monuments enters bidding wars, and speculation spreads beyond immediate surroundings.

Tier 6 — The Eternal Meme (~$1B MC)

• The final stage, immortalizing the meme as the Eternal Meme.

• It becomes a permanent part of Landora’s history — towering, iconic, and unforgettable.

• Economy: land near Eternal Memes is legendary real estate, commanding extreme demand and attention.

The Deep Economy of Landmarks

1. Culture as Currency

• Landmarks tie memes and cultural tokens directly to in-world visibility.

• Instead of fading on charts, they become physical monuments inside Landora.

2. Land Value Anchors

• Land near Landmarks increases in value the same way land near Colonies does.

• Owning plots in view of a Landmark becomes a prestige play.

3. Collective Goals

• Communities rally to push their Landmark to the next form, creating clear cultural milestones.

• The progression of a Landmark becomes part of the community’s identity.

4. Player Incentives

• Builders compete to create districts around Landmarks.

• Traders buy and sell nearby land for premiums.

• Communities gain recognition as their Landmark grows more visible.

5. The Flywheel Connection

• Landmark-driven activity, land speculation, marketplace trades, attention flow — all routes back into $LND.

• Landmarks act as cultural engines that feed the same circular economy as Colonies.
