In ZED Champions, you don’t need deep pockets to win. You need a plan and a horse. For some, that means a soulbound mare: a starter horse you can’t sell or trade, but can breed. For others, it’s a Breeder Badge or an auction pickup; either way, it all starts with a single mare or stallion that, when paired right, can kickstart your racing dynasty.
One Horse. Hundreds of Possibilities.
The strategy and skill of ZED Champions revolve around transforming your breeder into a legacy of podium finishers. With the right approach, smart breeding decisions, and patience, you can turn a single horse into a stable that competes season after season.
Breeding is where the game begins
Inside the Stud Marketplace, you pair your horses, choosing studs based on traits, performance history, and generational value. Every foal you create will be automatically seeded into the fixed Racing Pool of 4,320 horses.
ZED Champions is designed to reward insight, not just ownership. Every decision in the breeding process matters:
- Which bloodline are you tapping into?
- Are you stacking strengths or experimenting for outlier potential?
- Is the stud’s fee worth the projected upside?
Bloodline Still Matters
Bloodline plays a critical role in horse behavior:
- Nakamotos are strong starters
- Szabos are consistent racers
- Finneys are strong finishers
- Buterins are random racers
And that’s only part of it. Horse characteristics are visually represented and connected to their speed. There’s no class system, no breed types, only generation numbers and the strategy you apply to evolve them.
You’re making calculated moves, pairing studs and mares based on traits, racing history, and price. Every decision matters. Every foal is a bet on your strategy.
Foals Can Beat Their Parents
In ZED Champions, the next generation can be stronger than the last. The best breeders don’t just copy what worked, they build toward what wins.
During Beta, one foal, bred from a mid-tier pairing, outperformed expectations and became one of the most efficient racers of the season, earning over 40x more in racing rewards than its initial stud cost.
That kind of outcome isn’t guaranteed. But it shows what’s possible when breeding strategy meets execution. The most competitive horses don’t always come from the most expensive pairings.
This is progression by design. Strategic. Scalable. ZED Champions rewards long-term thinking and deliberate choices.
