Game Overview
Last updated April 15, 2025
Step into the world of ZED Champions, a new era of the classic ZED RUN experience where players breed champion racehorses to earn real money rewards. ZED Champions features innovative new racehorse attributes and behaviors, seamless hands-free racing, and real-time community connections around rising and legendary stars. For those who prefer to watch, spectators can join the action too, and it’s just as captivating.
ZED Champions is a game that redefines digital horse racing, inviting you to build and manage your stable, strategize for success and earn real money rewards by racing your horses and participating in auctions.
The game features an exclusive racing pool of 4,320 horses that are automatically entered into races based on their current standing on the leaderboard. In each race, horses stake up to 10% of their internal $ZED balance. Matchmaking (MM) points and $ZED Token ($ZED) are earned based on race results. Each race consists of eight horses, matched according to their MM points.
Each racehorse has an internal $ZED balance determined by its breed price and race performance. This balance also plays a role in determining whether a horse faces forced retirement from the racing pool as it increases or decreases after each race.
You can also choose to retire your racehorse after a race, earning real money rewards in the form of the remaining $ZED Token in that horse’s balance.
Gamified Discovery
The core of the ZED Champions ownership and breeding game is discovery. The game is designed to actively communicate and support this discovery loop wherever possible.
Progression in this game hinges on information - learning which horses are good, understanding their characteristics and using that knowledge to breed strategically or retire them at the optimal time for maximum rewards.
