Funding Your Stable: How $ZED Powers the Game

ZED Champions is a live, competitive, always-on strategy game built around a real in-game economy. At the center of that economy is $ZED, the token used for everything from breeding to leaderboard progression.

If you want to race, buy, or build a winning stable, you’ll need $ZED in your ZED Champions wallet. Here’s how to get set up.

Your Wallet is Already Set Up

When you create a ZED Champions account, your in-game wallet is generated automatically.

If you’re a returning player, this is where your $ZED, reZED, and horses will appear. If you previously held $ZED on Polygon, you’ll need to bridge it to Base to use it in-game.

Bridging from Polygon?

If you’ve got $ZED on Polygon from earlier seasons, you’ll need to bridge it to Base before you can use it in ZED Champions. That’s because the game and all wallets now run on Base.

Don’t send your Polygon $ZED directly to your in-game wallet, it won’t arrive. Bridging is the safe and supported way to move it over. Here’s how to do it:

  • Head to zed.run
  • Enter the email linked to your ZED Champions account
  • Follow the prompts to approve and sign the bridge transactions
  • It usually takes around 20 minutes.

Once it’s done, your $ZED will appear in your dashboard wallet and be ready to use.

We cover gas fees for this process. It’s a 1:1 bridge with no value lost, and you’ll get a link to track your transfer in real time.

Starting Fresh (No $ZED Yet)

If you’re new to ZED Champions and don’t yet hold $ZED, you’ll need to onboard ETH, swap it, and move it to your ZED Champions wallet. Here’s how:

  • Buy ETH on a supported exchange (like Coinbase or another provider)
  • Bridge ETH to Base using the official Base bridge (or another supported Layer 2 bridge)
  • Swap ETH for $ZED on Uniswap or directly via Coinbase Wallet. (Double-check the token address: 0xA7921e4C3Dc8E38069061a07C08fC0D2a35B9E6f)
  • If you haven’t already, create your ZED Champions account at appzedchampions.com
  • Copy your ZED Champions wallet address from your dashboard.
  • Send the $ZED you purchased to that address.

Once your transfer is complete, your $ZED will show in the top right of your dashboard and be ready for gameplay.

Make sure you’re bridging and sending on the Base network, this is the only supported chain for ZED Champions.

What is reZED?

reZED is an in-game currency that mirrors the value of $ZED (1 reZED = 1 $ZED) but stays locked to your ZED Champions account. You can’t trade or withdraw it, but you can use it for key actions in the game.

You’ll earn reZED through:

  • Achievements and promotions
  • Bounties and seasonal milestones
  • Holding certain reward badges

You can spend reZED to:

  • Bid in breeding auctions
  • Staking (new feature coming soon)
  • Purchase Augments (in the future)

reZED gives you flexibility; you can use it in place of $ZED for many transactions and save your $ZED for when you need it.

A Dynamic Economy, Built for Gameplay

$ZED powers every part of ZED Champions from breeding and buying to racing and retiring. Horses carry internal balances that rise or fall based on performance, and every race automatically stakes a portion of that balance, creating constant movement across the leaderboard.

When you spend $ZED, it circulates through the ecosystem, boosting new horses, rewarding players, and sustaining future gameplay.

Ready to Compete? Fund Your Stable.

To race, breed, and build your stable, you need $ZED in your ZED Champions wallet. It’s the starting point for every action you take in the game.

Get your $ZED onto Base, send it to your in-game wallet, and you’re ready to go. Your stable starts here!
