Exciting Transformation Coming to ZED RUN this February!
Big news ZED Headz! Throughout February we’re rolling out updates to fees, breeding and how the player treasury is used in ZED RUN. Our goal? To reduce racing costs, make Class 1 more accessible, and empower you to breed top-tier horses again!
Why
We want to address some community pain points and bring back the excitement to racing and breeding, making it more enjoyable, engaging and rewarding, with full transparency about fees.
By adjusting the prize pool model based on treasury generation, similar to how we've done with maiden prize pools in the past, we're creating a more sustainable environment for both players and ZED.
We also believe that by expanding the ranges for key traits and rebalancing Class 1 levels, we can properly incentivise achieving the highest levels in the game.
Impact
These changes will have several impacts on the ZED RUN community. Firstly, racing fees will be reduced, making it more affordable for everyone to participate.
Additionally, all racing fees will now go back to the community, ensuring that the rewards go back to the players. With these adjustments, players will have a better chance to own and breed champion racehorses, adding excitement and competitiveness to the game.
The enhancement of extreme Distance Preference adds a new layer to breeding, offering more diversity and strategy. Moreover, the changes make Class 1 races more competitive and engaging, encouraging players to focus on breeding outcomes rather than relying solely on XP NFT utilisation.
Overall, these changes present an opportunity for players to rediscover the joy of breeding and competing in ZED RUN.
Max Level 700 Horses
This update will significantly increase race opportunities for owners at Level 700. Previously limited to racing against each other, now they can compete against the entire class for bigger prize pools.
If you reached Level 700, we’re here to celebrate you! You’re one of only 104 racehorses to achieve this milestone! We see you as the flag bearers of the progression experience, your achievements showcase what’s possible at the highest level of ZED.
As a token of appreciation, we would like to offer you membership to the Max Level Club to reward and thank you for your efforts.
Founding members will receive a level 700 skin and entry into an exclusive tournament where bigger prize pools are up for grabs.
Please check your email for detailed information regarding the impact of the changes to Level 700 horses. Your commitment to ZED RUN is valued, and we are here to address any concerns you may have.

These updates are just the beginning, the final product direction will be revealed in Q2 2024. While we can’t spill all the beans just yet, one thing’s for sure: ZED RUN will always be about breeding champion racehorses and discovery. We are buzzing for what’s ahead!
