Breeding
At the core of ZED RUN is the opportunity to own, grow, and compete using a stable of racehorses. In order to participate in-game, you must first obtain access to a racehorse. ZED RUN racehorses are currently available on secondary markets such as OpenSea and Hawku.
The Importance of Breeding
Racehorses are intended to be actively managed, where rewards are distributed to the most skilful and experienced players. Players that plan their breeding strategies wisely will gain notability in the ecosystem and therefore have the opportunity to demand higher premiums for their new foals.
This then opens up the following choices:
Players can continue to purchase horses from notable breeders, or
Players can choose to breed their own offspring(s)
The fees paid to create new offspring (and trade them) are directly applied to the reward systems throughout ZED RUN. Therefore, at the heart of the ecosystem is breeding. This creates a virtuous cycle in which players are given a level playing field where they can compete for rewards and reinvest those rewards towards breeding even better horses.
Currently, the team is developing a plan to provide lower cost methods to enter the ecosystem, such as renting.
Breeding and the ZED token
The first core utility for the ZED token will power the breeding loop as the transition begins from a wETH-based token system.
Stud owners (i.e. male racehorse owners) will set the breeding fee, where other stable owners with female racehorses only can elect which studs they would like to breed with.

Breeding fees collected will be split as follows:
