Horse retirement in zkRace introduces a ground-breaking feature that maximises the utility of every horse in the game, regardless of their performance on the track.
This new feature allows players to stake their benched horses, earning Sugar Cubes as staking rewards. With the flexibility of an auto-renew option and the ability to un-stake at any time for temporary horse staking, players gain more control over their stable management.
By strategically deciding which horses to stake, players can utilize the Sugar Cubes earned to enhance the breeding of their champion horses, thereby building a stronger and more competitive stable.
This approach not only adds a deeper strategic layer to the game but also ensures that all horses, active or retired, contribute to the player’s success and the overall dynamics of their stable.
Horse Staking: a Walkthrough
To stake your NFT horse, head straight to your “Stables” https://zkrace.com/stables/horses , select the horse that you wish to stake and press on the “Horse staking” action button (with lock icon).
Temporary horse staking
Fill out the horse staking form by choosing the staking length (1, 3 ,6 or 12 months), whether you wish it to auto-renew after the first staking period is completed and press submit.
Confirm that you understand the restrictions the horse will have while being staked:
- Horse won’t be able to participate in races, tournaments and other racing events;
- Horse cannot be used for breeding, renting or be listed on the marketplace;
- Horse cannot be withdrawn from the platform
However, you can unstake the horse at any time, though if it is unstaked before the end of staking period, the Sugar Cube rewards will not be credited.
Once you press confirm your horse automatically moves from “Horses” to the “Staked horses” section of your stables.
Here you can unstake your horse using the same “Horse staking” button, or edit the form, more specifically switching on/off the auto renewal toggle (don’t forget to confirm the changes if any are made to the form).
Permanent horse staking
For permanent horse staking (retirement) choose “Permanent” option under the “Staking period” list and press submit. At the bottom it indicates how many Sugar Cubes retired horse will be earning each month.
To proceed, agree with the conditions for the permanent horse staking. By choosing this option, you horse will be permanently retired and you will not be able to use it at all once you confirm your choice. You won’t be able to unstake it as well.
Gen0 rewards, such as spins at Spin-the-wheel, upcoming Ancestry rewards or any similar rewards, will still be distributed to the owner of retired horse.
You will find your permanently staked horse under “Staked horses” section of your stables. As mentioned before, the unstake option will not be available.
Your permanently staked horse will be earning Sugar Cube rewards for your stables indefinitely which is paid out automatically each month.
