Racing Toward Mass Adoption: Transak and zkRace Pioneer the First ZK-Based Virtual Racing Game

Miami — zkRace, formerly known as DeRace, has entered a strategic partnership with Transak, the leading fiat-to-crypto payment gateway. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the gaming experience by introducing an on-ramp solution for the ZERC token on the zkRace platform. 

NFT horse racing games have long been a niche within the broader blockchain gaming sector, yet they have carved out a significant impact by drawing a diverse user base. These games offer a practical gateway for novices exploring the Web3 space and provide a sophisticated platform for seasoned crypto users to deploy their assets.

zkRace distinguishes itself as the pioneering horse racing game utilizing zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), a cutting-edge technology that ensures transactions are both faster and more secure. By leveraging ZKPs, zkRace sets a new benchmark in blockchain gaming, offering a seamless blend of efficiency and security.

The Power of Partnership: Transak On-Ramp Solution

The integration of Transak’s on-ramp solution is a game-changer for the zkRace community. It simplifies the purchase of ZERC tokens, which are pivotal for participating in the immersive horse racing experience that zkRace offers. With over 20 payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, and Apple Pay, Transak’s solution removes barriers for non-crypto users, streamlining their entry into the Web3 ecosystem.

Beyond its use in horse racing, ZERC tokens play a crucial role in the broader GameFi projects. They function as gas fees within the zkRace layer 2 zk-rollup Validium infrastructure, showcasing their versatility and utility across different gaming platforms.

A Vision for Mass Adoption

Adomas Juodisius, the Founder and CEO of zkRace, underscores the significance of this partnership:

"Integrating the Transak on-ramp is a game-changer for zkRace. It not only enhances our game's accessibility but also serves as a critical bridge for non-crypto users. This simplicity in acquiring ZERC tokens will significantly aid in onboarding players from the general public, pushing us closer to our goal of mass adoption."

  • Mass Adoption: Lowering entry barriers broadens the audience, enhancing user base and community engagement.

“At Transak, we strongly support the growth of practical Web3 games. This exciting partnership with zkRace marks another significant milestone towards our vision.
