zkRace

Introduction

zkRace is an NFT horse racing blockchain game that is powered by the ZERC token. The game offers players to engage in the dynamic world of horse racing. With the ability to race, breed, trade, and rent NFT horses, zkRace provides a horse racing adventure. Players can also host tournaments in virtual hippodromes. The game is available on browsers.

Gameplay

zkRace offers a multifaceted gameplay experience that caters to various types of players. To begin their journey in the zkRace metaverse, players need to acquire an NFT horse, which can be purchased on OpenSea or rented directly on the platform. Additionally, ZERC tokens and a small amount of MATIC tokens on the Polygon Network are required for in-game transactions and to deposit or withdraw assets. Players can also unlock additional gameplay opportunities by obtaining in-game NFTs such as Horse Equipment and Liquid Love.

The game offers multiple ways to participate, allowing players to choose their level of involvement. Players can assume the role of a horse owner or a hippodrome administrator. Horse owners can earn rewards by winning races, breeding and selling horses, or renting them out. Hippodrome administrators earn by hosting races and tournaments, charging entry fees to participants. This dual-role system ensures that both active and passive players can find enjoyment and earning potential in zkRace.

Each NFT horse in zkRace has unique visible and hidden characteristics that affect its performance. Visible traits include sex, color, shape, breed, and cool-down times for breeding and racing. Hidden traits, such as speed, stamina, and reaction time, are crucial factors in winning races and can be speculated based on the horse's bloodline and race history. Breeding two NFT horses generates a new horse with a combination of parent traits, introducing variability and excitement into the breeding process.

Players can sell their NFT horses in the in-game marketplace or any other NFT marketplace, maintaining complete control over their assets. The in-game marketplace also allows players to buy horses with a known bloodline and race history, providing options for strategic gameplay and investment.

Token Information

The ZERC token is an ERC20-compliant cryptographic token that serves as the backbone of the zkRace ecosystem. It is used exclusively for all in-game transactions, including entering races, hosting tournaments, and trading within the game’s native marketplace. ZERC tokens ensure a consistent volume and circulation within the ecosystem, driving the entire zkRace platform.

Listed on major exchanges such as KuCoin, Crypto.com, Gate.io, and Uniswap, ZERC is also bridged to BSC and Polygon Networks, enhancing its accessibility and utility. Players need ZERC tokens for in-game purchases, rewards, and transaction fees, ensuring minimal costs and maximum efficiency.

Additionally, ZERC serves a vital role beyond the game itself. It is used as the required gas fee for any GameFi projects leveraging zkRace’s layer 2 zk-rollup Validium solution, boosting its demand and utility. ZERC holders gain early access to initial rounds of upcoming projects within the W3Forge ecosystem, adding significant value to holding the tokens.
