🏇 What is HorseRace?
HorseRace is a real-time multiplayer horse racing game built on the Solana blockchain. Players hold the $HORSERACE token to gain access, enter race lobbies, and compete against other players — each player controls one horse. Winners receive automatic SOL payouts directly to their wallets.
The game is designed to be fully transparent, fun, and fair. Each race is randomized with optional boost mechanics that let players increase their horse's speed chances using $HORSERACE tokens. The more the token grows in market cap, the bigger the winner's payout.
📜 Origins of Horse Racing
Horse racing is one of the oldest sports in human history, with origins tracing back over 4,000 years to ancient Central Asia, where nomadic tribespeople first raced domesticated horses. The sport was formalized in ancient Greece, appearing in the 33rd Olympic Games around 648 BC.
Chariot racing was immensely popular throughout the Roman Empire, while flat racing (as we know it today) became organized in England during the 17th century under King Charles II. Iconic venues like Newmarket, Epsom, and later Belmont Park in the United States became legendary racing destinations.
Today, horse racing generates billions globally and remains a beloved sport across the world. HorseRace brings this tradition into the digital Web3 era — anyone, anywhere, can now race and win real value through blockchain technology.
📋 Game Rules
- To sign up, your Solana wallet must hold at least 200,000 $HORSERACE tokens (CA: 5m5oVESBv8f5bnEs6mbd62j3hn2qzMxqvbAxGMeppump). Wallets without the required token balance cannot create an account.
- To join a race lobby, your wallet must still hold at least 200,000 $HORSERACE tokens at the time of entry. This is a holders-only game — no SOL entry fee required.
- Each player entering the lobby represents one horse in the race. Your username is displayed on your horse.
- A minimum of 8 players (horses) is required for a race to begin. If fewer than 8 players are in the lobby when the 10-minute countdown expires, the race does not start.
- The race starts automatically when 25 players join — no waiting needed.
- If 8 or more (but fewer than 25) players are in the lobby after the 10-minute wait, the race starts automatically.
- There is no SOL entry fee. Participation is free for all qualifying $HORSERACE token holders.
- The race runs in real-time on a visual track. All horses race simultaneously with randomized physics.
- The first horse to cross the finish line wins. The winner's wallet receives the automatic SOL payout.
- Payout starts at 0.3 SOL and scales up to 3 SOL as the $HORSERACE token market cap grows to 100k+.
- Payouts are sent automatically from the creator treasury wallet directly to the winner's registered wallet address. No manual claiming needed.
- Only registered, signed-in players may participate. Sign-in sessions are secure and JWT-based.
⚡ How Boost Works
The Boost system gives players an exciting way to increase their horse's racing momentum — but it's never a guarantee of winning. Here's how it works:
- The boost window opens when the race begins and lasts for 90 seconds only. After that, boosts are no longer accepted.
- To boost your horse, send $HORSERACE tokens to the designated boost wallet address shown on the race page. Each race has a unique boost session tracked on-chain.
- The more tokens you send, the larger your boost effect:
• 100K–500K = Small Boost 🌟
• 500K–1M = Medium Boost 🌟🌟
• 1M–3M = Max Boost 🌟🌟🌟
- Maximum boost per player per race is 3,000,000 tokens. Tokens above this threshold will have no additional effect.
- Boost uses a weighted random algorithm. It increases the probability that your horse moves to the front of the pack — but the race is still randomized. A max-boosted horse does NOT always win.
- Boost tokens are collected by the platform and used for platform maintenance and future development.
- Only players actively in the current race can boost. You cannot boost for another player's horse.
- Boost effects are visible in real-time on the race track as speed bursts for the boosted horse.
💰 Payout System
The HorseRace payout system is tied to the growth of the $HORSERACE token ecosystem. As the community and token grow, so do the rewards:
- Default payout (low market cap): 0.3 SOL per race winner
- At 100,000 token market cap threshold: 3 SOL per race winner
- Payouts scale linearly between these thresholds. The system checks the token supply/market cap live before each race completes.
- Payouts are sent automatically and immediately when a winner is determined. No delays, no manual steps.
- The payout is sent from the creator treasury wallet to the winner's registered wallet address.
🔐 Token Requirement
The $HORSERACE token is the key to accessing the platform. This ensures only genuine community members can participate and helps maintain a healthy, active player base.
