About

Zed.run is the flagship product of Virtually Human Studio (VHS), a digital horse racing game built on the blockchain. Players own digital racehorses as NFTs, breed them to produce offspring with heritable traits, and race them against other players in a skill-based game economy. Prices, race volumes, and breeding markets are all set by participants, replicating real-world horse racing dynamics in a fully digital environment. The platform combines gaming, NFT ownership, and DeFi mechanics, allowing players to earn from their horses through racing prize pools and breeding fees.
