Howdy DeRacers! Can you feel the wind of change? BIG things are coming to our horse racing ecosystem 👀

DeRace V2 updates: player wallet is good to go! 🐎💨

Say hello to instant and gas-free in-game transactions in DeRace V2!

This week our team and external partners have finalized and tested the player wallet feature. No more pack-man while registering to the races, the new $DERC token and in-game item deposit system will guarantee exceptional gaming experience.

With the new system, players will be able to deposit their assets directly into the platform for any future use. It means that they won’t have to pay gas fees for any in-game activity like registering to the races, breeding, etc. and it will happen instantly.

Players can also easily withdraw the deposited tokens and items at any time just by pressing the “Withdraw” button.

DeRace V2 updates: welcome to the stables! 🏡

Our NFT page just got overhauled!

DeRace V2 will bring tons of new features into the ecosystem and one of them is a HUGE upgrade of the NFT horse explorer UX and UI.

Some of the new features introduced into the NFT horse explorer page are horse levels, horse achievements, NFT horse equipment and much more!

Upgraded NFT horse explorer page: work in progress

In DeRace V2 players will be able to check out the equipment that is in use (and see its stats), the current horse level and how much XP is needed to level-up. Horse achievements will also unlock shortly, so get ready to complete amazing tasks for badges and additional rewards!

🏁 Ready. Set. Race!

It’s time to line up your horses for the race, NFT horse equipment is fully animated and race ready!

Test races with fully equipped horses (test models): work in progress

Our game design team has finished animating the equipment so that it fits NFT horses like a glove. Now the items will look realistic not only displayed in the horse viewer but also with horses galloping full speed on the racetrack.

Currently, our team is testing the new races with NFT horse wearables: fun weekend ahead!

Now what’s left is to finish finalizing the color schemes and patterns for some of the items and adjust the condition grade and NFT horse equipment is launch ready! 🤩

P2E reward system 🗝

This week we focused on improving our sustainable player earning model.

Together with established guilds we revisited the current DeRace P2E rewards’ mechanics, collected all their feedback and are working on making our model better than ever! The updated player earning model will be advantageous to both the players and the guilds, and will dramatically improve the gameplay experience.

We have also started working on onboarding prominent guilds and creating a guild management system which will help them to operate smoothly on our platform — all of which will increase our player-base exponentially.

Guilds, are you ready to race? 🏇

That’s all for today! Keep your eyes on our socials, something HUGE is waiting for you next week… 👀
