DeRace

Introduction to DeRace

DeRace is the first decentralized blockchain-based racehorse platform that joins millions of racehorse enthusiasts in a community where you can buy and breed NFT horses, and host races in your owned hippodromes for actual profit. Built on blockchain technology and powered by the DeRace Coin (DERC), this game offers a thrilling blend of horse racing, NFT ownership, and economic strategy, all within a vibrant virtual ecosystem.

Core Mechanics

Blockchain and NFT Integration

DeRace uses NFT technology to create and differentiate every horse in the game. Horses are stored as NFT tokens and can be bought in NFT marketplaces (in-game or third-party) or created through breeding. The platform’s native currency, DERC, facilitates all transactions, ensuring secure and transparent ownership. Explore this system further on the official DeRace website.

RNG-Based Racing

Races are based on RNG technology, making the winner random yet influenced by speed and stamina parameters. Each speed parameter point gives a chance to win diluted by the total amount of participants' speed sum, as explained in DeRace’s whitepaper. This fairness keeps races exciting and unpredictable.

Gameplay Features

Horse Ownership and Breeding

Horse owners can own, breed, and trade horses as well as compete in races. Each NFT horse has a set of visible characteristics—sex, color, shape, breed, breeding, and racing cooldown—and hidden traits like speed and stamina, which players speculate from appearance and bloodline. Breeding requires two NFT horses (one male, one female) with zero cooldown, creating a unique third NFT.

Racing and Rewards

Players select races from the "Upcoming Races" section, filtering by date, entry fee, and prize pool. After paying a participation fee, the hippodrome selects participants, and the winning horse collects a percentage of all fees plus additional prizes in DERC.

Hippodrome Administration

Hippodromes host races and compete to attract participants. Ownership is set in NFT hippodrome tokens—one hippodrome contains 10,000 tokens, and owning over 5,000 (50%+) grants administrative rights. Administrators set race rules, fees, and schedules, promoting their venues to draw crowds.

In-Game Economy

DeRace Coin (DERC) is the platform currency with a 120M supply, used for breeding, trading, racing, and hosting. Players earn DERC through activity, with greater rewards for active participation. Token holders enjoy VIP perks like early NFT drops, detailed on CoinMarketCap.
