My team and I have been working on a horseracing game called
ZΞD. It runs off the Ethereum network using ERC 721 tokens and we are currently on Ropsten doing some early testings.
We love the idea of non-fungible tokens and decided to create a more serious gaming marketplace.
ZΞD is a blockchain game where stable owners can buy, breed and race digital thoroughbreds. The aim of the game is to create a legacy with a valuable stable full of winning racehorses. Each racehorse is uniquely created with a smart contract that is linking performance data using cryptography. As a racehorse evolves into something greater it becomes more desirable.
The first part (owning the asset) is ready for testing, if you would like to try it out it is over our website right now.

Discord! https://discord.gg/sNgA5ZuWe are splitting development into for key milestones, here is some general info.
Early Release The Early Release is simply how we plan on releasing the first batch of racehorses. These are the only racehorses that will be sold at a fixed price. We are releasing a total of 38,000 and that’s it! We have built out and ready to test this phase of development on the Ropsten test network, so feel free to give us a go!
Market Place The Marketplace is where you, the user, can take your racehorse and sell it via an auction to other users. You set the price and you collect any profits that are there to be had.
Stud Farm The Stud Farm is where breeding happens. If you own a male racehorse, you can place them in the Stud Farm and set a price for female thoroughbreds to breed with you. The male keeps the money, and the female keeps the offspring.
Live Racing This is what we are most excited about. We have prototyped and tested various versions of what live racing would be like on the blockchain. One of the most important considerations the team has thought about is how to keep users who have purchased racehorses coming back to ZΞD. We have devised and implemented a lottery style algorithm that selects racehorses are random to compete in races. The aim is to have more than one hundred races per day.
We have received a few questions relating to “
why aren’t you launching racing from the get-go?” and that is because we want users to compete against other users. To do so, we need to build a community first for racing to be exciting.
This is most certainly a passion project for us and that has turned into something serious. We have been fortunate enough to raise some venture capital to pursue our vision along with your help!
Feel free to check us out and drop some feedback.
