It’s Friday again and you know what that means: it’s time for another Friday Development Update! So let’s review what our development team has been up to this week. 🚀
🤖 Enhanced API for builders
This week has marked a significant advancement for the DeRace builder community with the introduction of enhanced API. These additions are meticulously designed to empower our developers with a more comprehensive toolkit, fostering innovation and customization within the DeRace ecosystem.
Specifically, the new API calls include access to horses available for breeding via rent channel, along with detailed lists of tournaments at various stages — open, ongoing, and completed. Moreover, we’ve facilitated a smoother development experience by creating distinct categories for Horse API and Tournaments API, allowing for targeted data retrieval and integration.
By providing richer, more detailed access to game data, we’re enabling developers to craft unique applications, features, and tools that enhance the player experience. The potential for these APIs to create new forms of engagement and interaction within the DeRace metaverse is immense, opening up fresh avenues for gameplay and community building.
🏆 DeRace Grant
The introduction of the DeRace Grant is our new initiative designed to stimulate innovation and support the talented builders within our community.
As we move forward with the Grant program, we are excited to see the projects and ideas that will emerge, further solidifying DeRace’s position as a leader in the GameFi space.

🔥 NFT burn rates
The recalculation of asset burning for Sugar Cubes rates marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance the DeRace economy and gameplay experience.
A balanced and vibrant economy is essential for the long-term success and engagement of DeRace, and the new burning rates are a key component of our strategy to achieve this balance.
As we prepare to roll out these enhancements, we remain committed to monitoring and adjusting our approach as necessary to ensure the best possible outcome for players and the game alike.
🎮 Free trial mode
As DeRace continues to welcome a growing audience, the introduction of a Free Trial Mode stands as a strategic initiative to make the onboarding easier for the newcomers.
This week, our focus has shifted towards creating a front-end infrastructure for Free Trial Mode, a critical step that brings us closer to offering potential players a hands-on experience with DeRace without any initial commitments. The Free Trial Mode is designed to be an immersive introduction, showcasing the core gameplay mechanics.
We believe that the Free Trial Mode will lower entry barriers and make the game more approachable to a global audience. As we continue developing this feature, we’re excited about the potential to introduce more players to the DeRace ecosystem.
