Hey hey, it’s your boy Pepe here, ready to spill the tea on the coolest thing since sliced bread: ZED RUN! If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a racehorse but don’t want the hassle of real-life stables, hay, and horse poop, then ZED RUN is your jam. Let’s dive into the digital racetrack and see what it’s all about!
What’s ZED RUN Anyway?
Imagine combining the thrill of the Kentucky Derby with the digital wizardry of blockchain and NFTs. That’s ZED RUN for you. It’s an NFT-based horse racing game where each horse is a unique digital asset. You can buy, breed, and race these horses to your heart’s content. It’s like Pokémon, but with majestic steeds instead of Pikachus.
Getting Started: Saddle Up with MetaMask
First things first, you’ll need some digital dough (aka ETH) and a MetaMask wallet to get rolling. MetaMask is your gateway to the Ethereum blockchain. It’s like your digital saddlebag, holding all your precious ETH and WETH (Wrapped Ethereum).
- Download MetaMask: Get it as a browser extension.
- Fund Your Wallet: Transfer some ETH into your MetaMask wallet.
- Swap ETH to WETH: Within MetaMask, convert your ETH to WETH, which is used for all transactions in ZED RUN.
Pro Tip: Never share your secret recovery phrase! Keep it safe like it’s the last cookie in the jar.
Choosing Your Champion
Picking the right horse is crucial. Here’s what you need to know:
- Bloodline: There are four bloodlines in ZED RUN – Nakamoto, Szabo, Finney, and Buterin. Nakamoto is the crème de la crème, while Buterin is the everyman’s hero.
- Genotype (Z Number): Lower Z numbers mean purer bloodlines. Z1 to Z10 are Genesis horses, the OGs of the ZED world.
- Breed Type: Six types here – Genesis, Legendary, Exclusive, Elite, Cross, and Pacer. Genesis are the rarest, while Pacers are more common.
- Gender: Colts and fillies are the baby horses. Stallions and mares are the seasoned parents.
- Coat Color: From fiery reds to mystical blues, coat color adds style but doesn’t affect performance.
Racing: Time to Hit the Track
Once you’ve got your horse, it’s race time! Here’s how it works:
- Classes: Your horse starts in the Griffin class (unraced). As it races, it gets a Z-rating and moves up or down through Classes 1 to 5.
- Race Entries: Choose races based on your horse’s class, distance preference, and gate preference.
- Winning Points: Finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd to earn WETH and points. Your horse’s rating changes based on its performance.
Breeding: Making New Champions
Breeding is where strategy meets genetics. Here’s the scoop:
- Stud Fees: Female horse owners pay a fee to breed with a male. The fee is set by the stud owner.
- Offspring: The baby horse’s genotype is a mix of its parents’. Bloodline, breed type, and coat color all play a role.
- Limits: Males can breed three times a month, females once.
