Want to play ZED Champions but not sure where to start?

This video shows you how, and includes our latest feature, Staking, which lets you back horses without owning one. It's never been easier to be part of the action. 

Welcome to ZED Champions

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 Matchmaking 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. 

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 our distances in ZED Champions?

No, all newly bred horses are automatically entered into a fixed-size racing pool on a 1000 meter track. 

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. 

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 balance. A big part of the game is strategising and figuring out your horse, who to breed with and which augments to utilise.  

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 token or wrapped reZED 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.

By understanding these processes and strategically engaging in the auction marketplace, players can breed top-tier racehorses and enjoy a competitive edge in ZED Champions.

The stud marketplace is where all new horses are bred and is the only entry point for new horses into the racing pool. Similar to ZED RUN, male horses are entered into the marketplace, and mare owners must bid to breed with them.

A horse must be racing-retired and have at least one available breeding slot to be eligible for breeding.

Auctions are automatically created for each stud when it enters the marketplace, spending one breeding slot. Stud owners can only cancel the auction when it has no bids; however, the used breeding slot will not be refunded.

Mare owners place bids in $ZED or reZED. The bid reserves one of the mare’s breeding slots and can be increased but not decreased or cancelled, expiring after three days if not settled.

Players can enable automatic bidding, where their bid automatically increases by the base amount whenever outbid, up to a set maximum.

Auctions are eligible for settlement after 12 hours and are settled from highest to lowest bid. A replacement horse must be selected from the racing pool before the auction can be settled. For more on how this works see: Racing Pool/retirement.

Once an auction settles, the payment is split among the internal balance of the new racing pool horse, the player treasury (for player rewards), the stud owner, and VHS. 

Auctions in ZED Champions are ongoing and continuous. When a stud enters the marketplace and meets the eligibility criteria, an auction is automatically created and remains open for bids. Auctions are eligible for settlement after 12 hours and can stay open for 72 hours until the highest bid value reaches the top of the eligible auctions list. This ensures a dynamic and constant opportunity for breeding new horses.

In ZED Champions, there is no fixed limit on the number of auction slots. Auctions are created continuously as eligible studs enter the marketplace.

Mare owners can strategically place bids on studs that possess desirable traits. The auction system allows for competitive pricing and ensures that only the highest bids result in new offspring. Owners can use insights from the horse's performance and lineage to make informed breeding decisions.

Yes, bloodline continues to play a role in ZED Champions. While the specific mechanics of how bloodline influences performance may evolve, it remains an important factor for breeders to consider when making breeding decisions. The new auction system adds an extra layer of strategy, making it crucial for breeders to understand the potential impact of bloodline on their horses' racing abilities.

We are making Racehorse DNA more intuitive, with each racehorse having a specific character for how it runs. Horse characteristics will be visually represented and connected to their speeds. There will be no class system, no breed types, only generation numbers.                       

Will horses be able to breed better foals than their parents?

Yes, this is where a lot of the strategising will come into play. The new breeding and racing mechanics encourage a variety of horse types to excel based on strategic breeding.

Understanding The Balance Leaderboard

Augments are condition-based boosts that help your horse perform better in races. Each horse starts with three equipped. Equip them strategically to maximise your edge.

Getting Started with Augments

Breeding in ZED Champions allows you to create new racehorses by pairing a Stud (male) and a Mare (female) horse in the Stud Marketplace. Horses are onchain NFTs, so the breeding process will mint a new offspring NFT. All newly bred horses are automatically entered into the racing pool.
