Live Operations and Rewards
Last updated June 17, 2025
Breeding a great horse and rising to the top is the most obvious way to win rewards, but there are multiple ways to earn rewards in ZED Champions.
Reward Space
In the future there will be a variety of rewards available for you to earn including:
- reZED (in-game currency, wrapped 1:1 with $ZED)
- Augment packs
- Forge tokens
- Breeding Horses (any combination of breed, sex, and generation)
Daily and Weekly Rewards
Each week there are tasks to complete, known as Weekly Bounties with proportional payouts. Examples include: “Create X number of successful bids” or “Burn/Reforge X number of horses”.
Stud Incentives and Lotto
We are focusing heavily on boosting our stud auctions going forward. We're excited to announce the Top 10 Stud Daily Bonus. Top 10 studs get rewarded daily based on highest settled auction bids. Rewards are paid proportionally based on your stud's settled bid amount. Each auction is ranked individually, multiple studs from the same stable can qualify! Minimum stud rarity to qualify: 3.5 stars
In addition, 10 random studs will also be awarded randomly every day!
Champion Circle
Being in the top 10 races each day (aka the Champions Circle) should always matter. Starting now, we'll consistently reward every horse competing in these races even if you’re finishing 8th. Staying in the Champions Circle will now directly pay off each day you stay in it.
Progressive Jackpots
We're also introducing progressive jackpots for special, rare achievements. These jackpots will build rewards until triggered, generating excitement like a mini Powerball. Once the jackpot is triggered, a new one will take its place.
Bid and Burn Weekly Rewards
We’re shifting the breeding and burning incentives to a weekly structure to better support a sustainable horse economy. Every week, a share of reZED rewards will go to players who create winning bids in the stud marketplace and burn (reforge) horses. This helps manage a healthy horse population.
Rewards scale proportionately which means the more you participate, the bigger your share of the weekly pool.
Seasonal Rewards
Introducing the Seasonal Rewards Leaderboard for Season 0. Each stable’s payout is their Season Share Average, which reflects overall ownership of the total race pool balance averaged across the entire season.
