What is ZED RUN?

ZED RUN is a digital horse racing game where users can own, breed and race digital racehorses 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 in order to play?

You'll need four simple things to get started: a computer (laptop or desktop) that uses Chrome (Firefox or Brave), a digital wallet, and Ethereum (digital currency).

How do I set up a digital wallet?

MetaMask is the wallet that is used on ZED RUN. You can download browser extensions for Google Chrome here, and for Mozilla Firefox here. MetaMask is needed to easily sign into ZED RUN and OpenSea from the same digital wallet. For more information about wallets, see the Wallet FAQs. You can also sign up for ZED RUN using your social media account.

How do I get money into my wallet?

You first need to search for trusted crypto exchanges that are regulated in your country in order to purchase cryptocurrency.

How do I read transactions on the blockchain?

ZED RUN leverages the layer2 solution Polygon and transactions can be found on Polygonscan.com.

How do I rename my stable?

You rename your stable by selecting Settings from the top right-hand corner of the ZED RUN platform. You can edit all stable details on this page, but 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 racehorses ownership and will be tracked via the use of the Ethereum blockchain and ZT ERC 721 non-fungible tokens. All racehorse data (bloodline, genotype, gender, colour, number of offsprings and race statistics) will be stored in the smart contract. Given that all 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. Head over to ZED RUN’s Privacy to understand what information is collected.

How do I purchase a racehorse?

Are there any free racehorses?

There are no racehorses available for free. However, there are often community-led giveaways on Twitter, Twitch and other platforms to help new users get into the game.

How do I know if I'm buying from the verified ZED RUN collection?

OpenSea is ZED RUN's trusted secondary marketplace partner for buying and selling racehorses. When making a purchase or sale on OpenSea, always ensure you are using the official and verified ZED RUN contract. You can identify the correct contract by the blue tick as shown in the image below:

How long does it take to get my racehorse to my stable?
