What a week, zkRacers! Our devs have been hard at work refining features, taking feedback to heart, and preparing for even bigger moves ahead. Here’s everything you need to know from the past week at zkRace!

🔐 Coinbase Smart Wallet

We’re excited to announce that preparation for the Coinbase Smart Wallet integration into our platform is well underway! 🚀 Soon, players will be able to connect to zkRace platform seamlessly with Coinbase Wallet, paving the way for a smoother, more user-friendly gaming experience for all.

This integration will greatly simplify the onboarding process, particularly for those not familiar with Web3 intricacies and just wanting to enjoy horse racing experience. This streamlined approach not only enhances ease of use but also broadens accessibility, making it simpler for everyone to dive into the zkRace universe.

To enhance this integration, we’re also gearing up for a future feature update that ties into the Base Gasless campaign. This pos-smart-wallet-release enhancement will allow users to conduct their transactions gas-free.

Our developers are diligently working to ensure that once this feature is live, it will be as hands-off and effortless as possible.

🐴 Horse NFT Staking

Permanent Horse NFT staking is live on the zkRace platform! 🥳

Now your horses can permanently retire AND earn you Sugar Cubes forever. It’s like giving them a one-way ticket to retirement paradise, except they keep working for you from the hammock. No racing, no breeding, no drama — just pure passive rewards.

To make it happen, our devs upgraded the existing horse staking system to ensure that once a horse is retired, it’s locked for good. Owners can’t reclaim them, but they also don’t have to lift a finger. The system tracks every staked horse, calculates ongoing Sugar Cube payouts, and ensures everything runs automatically. Once your horse is “off the clock,” it’s all hands-off for you!

With permanent staking, every horse can still bring value. Retire them, let them earn for you passively, and free up space in your stable for the real track stars. It’s a win-win!

🗝 Bulk Chest Opening

We are on the cusp of launching Bulk Chest Opening feature, a development designed to simplify the gaming experience for all the Chest & Key collectors.

Currently, we are conducting final testing on the test-net to ensure that this new functionality performs flawlessly under the pressures of handling large volumes of in-game assets. This phase is crucial to confirm the feature can accurately match the correct rarity of Chests and Keys while maintaining system integrity and performance.

Players will soon be able to open multiple chests simultaneously, effectively eliminating the tedium of single chest openings and allowing more time for game enjoyment instead.

The current testing phase guarantees that the feature will be both reliable and transformative for player engagement once it goes live.
