Introduction
ZED Champions is a browser-based, NFT-powered horse racing strategy game developed by Virtually Human Studio. It builds on the legacy of ZED RUN with a complete redesign, introducing new mechanics like 24/7 automated races, dynamic stud auctions, and streamlined player onboarding. Horses in ZED Champions are unique digital assets that can be bred, upgraded, and raced competitively for leaderboard rewards.
Zed Champions Release Status
Zed Champions is currently live in open beta and fully playable through your browser. The game features reward systems like seasonal leaderboards, stud auctions, and daily bonuses, with more content arriving in Season 1.
Gameplay
ZED Champions is a browser-based PvP horse racing game where players manage a stable of NFT horses that automatically participate in races twice daily. The core gameplay revolves around breeding, racing, augment strategy, and leaderboard progression.
- Racing Pool Structure: The Racing Pool is capped at 4,320 horses. Each horse races automatically in 8-horse events twice per day. No manual entry is required — results are tracked on live leaderboards.
- Stud Marketplace & Breeding: Horses are introduced through auctions in the Stud Marketplace. Every player starts with a Soulbound Mare that can breed three times. Winning an auction creates a foal that enters the Racing Pool immediately.
- Buying Horses: Players can purchase race-ready horses from the marketplace. Filters like bloodline, star rating, and internal balance help guide strategic purchases.
- Augments System: Each horse has three Augments that enhance performance. These can be passive or conditional, providing advantages during specific race conditions such as last-place boosts or endurance bonuses.
- Horse Progression & Retirement: Horses can be manually retired after five races or automatically retired if their internal $ZED balance depletes. Retiring frees Racing Pool slots and returns remaining value to the player.
Economy
ZED Champions operates on a dual-token system powered by $ZED and reZED. The economy is tightly integrated into gameplay, with all actions — from breeding and auctions to racing and leaderboard progression — requiring $ZED or its in-game counterpart.
- $ZED Token: $ZED is the main utility token used for breeding, purchases, race stakes, and ecosystem rewards. It must be held in your in-game ZED Champions wallet to participate in core features.
- reZED (In-Game Currency): reZED mirrors the value of $ZED (1:1) but cannot be withdrawn or traded. It’s earned through achievements, bounties, and milestones, and can be used for breeding, staking, and future Augment purchases.
- Internal Balances: Each horse carries an internal $ZED balance used for automated race staking (up to 10% per race). Performance impacts this balance, which influences leaderboard standing and retirement triggers.
- Bridging & Wallets: Players with $ZED on Polygon must bridge to Base via zed.run. New players can acquire ETH, bridge it to Base, and swap for $ZED before sending it to their in-game wallet. Wallets are automatically created during account setup.
