General
What is ZED RUN?
ZED RUN is a digital horse racing game where users can own, breed and race digital horses with other players from around the world, 24/7. Using emerging technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrency, ZED RUN enables users to experience the same benefits of owning a thoroughbred racehorse in real life.
What do I need to play?
You'll need three simple things to get started: A computer or mobile phone (iPhone/Android), a digital wallet, and Wrapped Ethereum (digital currency). For more info, head to the Getting Started, Create Your Stable page.
How do I set up a digital wallet?
MetaMask and Coinbase are wallets that are used on ZED RUN. You can download browser extensions using the links below:
Mozilla Firefox: MetaMask here.
For more information about wallets, see the Wallet FAQs.
How do I get money into my wallet?
You first need to search for trusted crypto exchanges regulated in your country to purchase cryptocurrency.
You can also purchase Wrapped Ethereum using Transak on ZED RUN by clicking on the 'wallet' button on the top right-hand corner of the page, then selecting ‘Top Up’.
How do I read transactions on the blockchain?
ZED RUN runs on Polygon Mainnet (Ethereum Layer 2 solution). Wallet activity and transactions can be found on Polygonscan.
How do I rename my stable?
Navigate to Settings at the top right-hand corner of the ZED RUN platform. You can edit all stable details on this page including your stable name. Make sure to select "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page once you've updated your details.
Is ZED RUN safe and secure to play?
Yes. ZED RUN utilises Smart Contracts to record racehorse ownership, tracked through the Ethereum blockchain and ZT ERC 721 non-fungible tokens. All racehorse data (bloodline, genotype, gender, colour, number of offspring and race statistics) will be stored in the smart contract.
As ZED RUN racehorses are tokens that live within the blockchain, they can be bought or sold digitally, with a guarantee of ownership. In other words, you are the sole owner of a digital racehorse.
Visit ZED RUN’s Privacy page to understand what information is collected.
