General
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.
You'll need three simple things to get started: A computer or mobile phone (iPhone/Android), a digital wallet, and Wrapped Ethereum (digital currency).

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.
