Friday Development Update: Part 168

Hey there, zkRace fam 🏇 Another thrilling week has raced by, and we’re here with all the latest developments from the zkRace team.

Here’s everything you need to know about our latest accomplishments.

🏅 Leaderboards

Donkey owners, it’s your time to shine, because this week, we launched an enhancement to zkRace’s leaderboards: the Slowest Racer category.

This community-driven update celebrates all horses in the zkRace ecosystem, even those that might not shine on the fastest tracks. The leaderboard now records the monthly slowest horse times, ensuring every horse has a chance to be recognized.

Our talented front-end developer, Katerina, crafted a sleek and intuitive interface to seamlessly integrate the Slowest Racer category into zkRace’s leaderboards. Looking ahead, we’re excited to expand this feature with the addition of an all-time Slowest Racer category.

This update gives players with slower horses a fun way to stay involved and competitive. With prizes for the donkeys on the way, there are new rewards and strategies for players to explore!

🎁 Bulk Chest Openings

Great news for all Chest NFT hoarders there in zkRace metaverse — the Bulk Chest Openings feature has been finalized and is gearing up for release!

This feature will allow players to open multiple chests at once, addressing long standing community feedback for a more efficient and time-saving reward-claiming process. Say goodbye to the repetitive task of single chest openings and hello to more time enjoying your rewards.

Bulk chest opening required scalable backend logic to handle numerous simultaneous asset transactions without compromising system performance. Each chest must accurately distribute rewards to player inventories while ensuring no delays or inconsistencies in the data. Therefore, our team conducted a lot of rigorous testing on zkRace’s test-net to ensure that this process is accurate and reliable.

Keep your eyes peeled to our announcements because bulk Chest openings are on the way!

🐴 Horse NFT Staking

Horse Permanent Retirement is coming along nicely, with our team now focused on building the back-end logic for this exciting Horse NFT staking feature. This update will let players permanently stake their horses and earn ongoing Sugar Cubes rewards in return.

This update introduces a new layer of depth to zkRace, offering players the ability to strategically retire horses that may no longer be active on the track while still contributing value to their stables and the in-game economy.

Permanent horse retirement will offer players an alternative to the horse burning system. With Sugar Cube utilities constantly expanding, players can retire their horses and use the earned rewards to support and strengthen their other horses in the stable. This feature ensures every horse has value, even after retiring.
