Core Features of ZED Champions
Last updated May 4, 2025
24/7 Automated Races
All newly bred horses are automatically entered into a fixed-size racing pool of 4320 horses. Races are automatically scheduled, with horses competing based on their leaderboard positions. There’s no more waiting for races to fill or searching for races; each horse must complete one race before moving to the next round, and a minimum of five races before retirement.
Races are scheduled automatically, but you’ll retain control over breeding, retirement, and strategic decisions about your horse’s career.
Will players be able to pick distances in ZED Champions?
No, all newly bred horses are automatically entered into a fixed-size racing pool with the same distance track. Races are automatically scheduled, with horses competing based on their leaderboard positions.
Will ZED Champions have levels or XP?
No, ZED Champions will have a Racing Pool and Breeding Pool where horses will move up and down the leaderboard based on their ranking and $ZED balance.
How does Breeding work?
In ZED Champions, new horses are introduced into the racing pool exclusively through the Dynamic Auction Breeding system, which takes place in the stud marketplace. Here’s how it works:
- Male horses, or studs, are entered into the marketplace with their value determined through an auction.
- Mare owners bid on the studs using $ZED to secure a breeding opportunity.
- If the mare owner's bid is successful, they gain ownership of the resulting offspring.
Additionally, when another horse in the racing pool is retired, the highest bid for a stud at that time effectively sets the market rate for future breeding. Breeding also functions as the entry point into the Racing Pool. Every Newborn replaces an existing racehorse that has been queued for breeding and completed its final scheduled race. This ensures a 1-for-1 swap, maintaining a fixed population of 4,320 active racehorses.
