Mini Season 8

October 14-27, 2024

Season 8 is here, and we're shaking things up!

This season brings a $60,000 Maiden prize pool and a new approach that echoes ZEDx.

What’s Changing? We’re experimenting with multiple Maidens over different days and introducing end-of-qualifying payouts for some tournaments. This mirrors some of the experiences we’re planning for ZEDx, bringing a fresh perspective to ZED RUN while working within the parameters of the current game.

*All prize pools are USD amounts in ZED Token (apart from the Maiden, which is WETH)
