October was a big month for zkRace, packed with major updates that expanded our platform, extended our reach across blockchain networks, and added new features to the game. Here’s a look at the key developments from this month and what we have planned for the future 🚀
$ZERC on Base: New Network Unlocked
This month we successfully bridged the $ZERC token to Base, adding a fourth network on which $ZERC is now live, marking a crucial milestone.
This expansion has widened the reach of the $ZERC token and also enhanced the visibility of zkRace within the Web3 community. With $ZERC now tradable on Aerodrome and other platforms, we’re excited to see new players join and enrich our community. The integration into Base opens up countless possibilities for future partnerships, events, and player-base growth opportunities.
Looking forward, the successful migration to Base sets the stage for zkRace to leverage new technologies and collaborations that can further enhance our platform. We are excited about the potential for new features and the broader engagement it will foster. So saddle up — we’re just getting started!

Horse NFT Staking: Horse Retirement Now Live
October saw the culmination of our efforts in finalizing the Horse NFT staking feature. Our game economist has ensured that the Sugar Cubes economy is robust enough to support the Horse Retirement system sustainably. By fine-tuning the economic model, we aim to offer meaningful rewards that incentivize long-term engagement and contribute to the stability of the game’s economy.
Following economic adjustments, we developed and implemented the Sugar Cubes payout logic for Horse NFT Staking rewards. This involved creating a back-end system that efficiently calculates and distributes rewards based on staking durations.
And eventually, we launched the Horse NFT Staking, which introduced a new utility for all horses within the game, transforming the way players interact with their assets. Players can now earn Sugar Cubes by retiring their horses, which can be used for the always-expanding Sugar Cubes utilities.

The rollout of this feature has been well-received, and we are already looking at ways to expand and enhance the Horse Retirement system to include permanent Hore Retirement options that would offer continuous rewards.
Base on the Platform: zkRace Goes Cross-Chain
This month also saw significant technical advancements with the deployment and testing of contracts for $ZERC deposits and withdrawals on the Base network.
This development is crucial as it facilitates seamless asset management across multiple blockchain networks, enhancing user experience and platform accessibility. Our team has been focused on ensuring that these new contracts operate without a hitch, conducting extensive tests to guarantee security and efficiency. The ability to manage $ZERC across different networks without leaving the zkRace platform is a game-changer, offering unparalleled convenience to our users.
Looking forward, we’re excited to fully launch this feature in the first half of November, which is a significant step toward making zkRace a truly cross-chain platform, as it will operate on two different chains.
EtherMail Widget Integration: Building a More Connected Web3 Community
This month, we ensured that the EtherMail widget was seamlessly integrated into the zkRace platform, providing a user-friendly experience that encourages more players to stay connected with the zkRace community. This tool allows users to easily subscribe to the zkRace newsletter and stay informed about all the latest updates, sneak peeks and exclusive giveaways in our newsletters directly through their email or wallet addresses.
This integration is crucial for expanding our community and ensuring our players are well-informed. It strengthens our ties with users by providing secure, direct communication, leading to a more active and engaged community. Now, players can effortlessly keep up with all the latest developments in zkRace!
Racing Schedule Integration: Plan Your Races
This week we also integrated the Weekly Racing Schedule directly into the zkRace platform!
The schedule is intuitively designed, making key information easily available so players can plan their involvement and stay engaged with the latest races and tournaments in zkRace metaverse.
Players can now access all upcoming events and tournaments directly within the platform, eliminating the need to go through external sources. With this integration, we aim to promote regular gameplay, strengthen our community, and sustain the excitement around event-driven activities in zkRace.

Bulk Chest Openings: Streamlining User Experience
This month, we’ve initiated work on a community-requested update aimed at improving the efficiency of managing in-game rewards. Our development team is crafting back-end logic for a system that will enable players to open multiple chests simultaneously. This enhancement is tailored to simplify the process of claiming rewards, allowing players to quickly and easily access their prizes.
This forthcoming update promises to save players time and boost overall excitement and engagement by accelerating access to rewards. Keep an eye out for its release!
