Description
ZED Champions is a digital horse racing game described as a new era of the classic ZED RUN experience, where players breed champion racehorses and compete to earn real money rewards. The game features a limited racing pool of 4,320 horses at any time, with newly bred horses automatically entering the pool. Each racehorse holds an internal $ZED balance that stakes up to 10% per race, with race results determining matchmaking points and $ZED token earnings; races match eight horses at a time based on matchmaking points for fair competition. Players can strategically retire horses after a race to cash out their remaining $ZED balance as real-money rewards, or continue racing for further gains. The project also runs a ZED Marketplace for buying, selling, and trading rewards badges, and it supports a community of racers, strategists, and creators through live streams, X spaces, and community tools, along with an extensive help center covering breeding, matchmaking, race payouts, strategic gameplay, treasury/game economy, seasons, augments, and leaderboards.Category: Game
