Why Web3 Horse Racing

zkRace stands out as the first horse racing game to leverage zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). This technology enhances transaction security and efficiency, establishing a new standard in the blockchain gaming industry.

By integrating Transak’s on-ramp solution, the zkRace community can easily purchase ZERC tokens, which are essential for participating in the web3 horse racing experience. The partnership simplifies the process of acquiring ZERC through more than 20 payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, and Apple Pay. This initiative aims to lower barriers for non-crypto users, facilitating smoother player onboarding.

Adomas Juodisius, Founder and CEO of zkRace, stated, "Integrating the Transak on-ramp is crucial for zkRace. It enhances our game's accessibility and serves as a bridge for non-crypto users. This ease in acquiring ZERC tokens helps onboard players from the general public, moving us closer to mass adoption."

Utility of ZERC Tokens

The utility of ZERC tokens extends beyond horse racing. They can also be used as gas fees for other GameFi projects using the zkRace layer 2 zk-rollup Validium infrastructure.

NFT Marketplace

Additionally, zkRace has launched an in-game NFT marketplace where all NFTs can be purchased using ZERC tokens. This marketplace allows players to buy, sell, and trade in-game assets, enhancing the gaming experience. By enabling the general public to purchase ZERC via the Transak on-ramp, zkRace simplifies the onboarding process for non-crypto users, making participation easier.

Referral Feature

Furthermore, zkRace has introduced a referral feature that allows players to invite new users to the game. This feature helps grow the player base and rewards referrers with ZERC tokens, promoting community-driven growth. Players can share their referral codes, bringing new users into the game and earning rewards.
