## What Is DeRace (DERC)?

[Derace](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/derace/ico/) describes itself as a "complete NFT horse racing ecosystem" that wants to set a new standard for GameFi industry. DeRace provides an opportunity to buy and breed [NFT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token) horses with unique characteristics, equip NFT horses, and build your own NFT hippodrome to host races. 

The project launched its [IDO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-dex-offering) on July 16, 2021 on [DAO Maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dao-maker/). 

The beta version of DeRace was launched on Dec. 28, 2021. The full V2 of the game is about to be launched in Q3-Q4. 


## Who Are the Founders of DeRace?

The eight-people strong core team of DeRace is from Lithuania, UK, France, Dubai and Switzerland. DeRace was founded by Adomas Juodišius and Adelaida Sinkevič. Adomas Juodišius is the project's CEO. Before that, he was the founder and CEO of Media Bubbles, a Vilnius-based marketing agency that provided e-commerce stores and other web-based platforms with a digital presence, web architecture and security solutions, and digital marketing. At DeRace, he continues his cooperation with Adelaida Sinkevič, the co-founder of Media Bubbles, CMO of several high-profile startups and now the CMO at DeRace.

The team also boasts several high-profile advisors: Hassan Sheikh, the co-founder of DAO maker, Michael Kam, co-founder of the Asia-based blockchain VC fund Double Peak, Michael Owen, former professional footballer who played as striker in Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United and is now a horse breeder and trainer, AB de Villiers, former South African international cricketer, KmanuS88, entrepreneur and famous Youtuber, and Alex Becker CEO of Hyros, entrepreneur and famous Youtuber.


## What Makes Derace Unique?

DeRace aims to tackle and disrupt two multi-billion-dollar sectors simultaneously: video gaming and horse racing. 
The project sees a massive opportunity in the lack of video games with sustainable play-2-earn features. At the same time, horse racing suffers from corruption scandals and lack of digitalization vis-a-vis other sports - an issue which DeRace is aiming to tackle. 

DeRace proposes a personalized gaming experience that is 100% fair and transparent. Players aren't restricted to being just the spectators but instead they are encouraged to take the lead of the process through their ownership of unique NFT horses. 

Furthermore, players are given a chance to run the game themselves through DeRace’s govern-2-earn model by owning hippodromes, hosting the races and getting rewarded for all of that.

DeRace is set to revolutionize the GameFi industry by introducing a never-before-seen player earning model which rewards players for their activity within the DeRace metaverse and expand the gameplay possibilities exponentially.

## How Is the DeRace Network Secured?

DERC is an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token, meaning it is based on the [Ethereum blockchain](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/).

Ethereum works with a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and is secured by a massive decentralized network of stakers. The roughly 11,000 Ethereum nodes protect the Ethereum blockchain against [attacks](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/51-attack).

Ethereum is the most popular [blockchain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) for new tokens to launch on, thanks to its standardized tokens, the vibrant developer community, and the blockchain's robustness. In particular, NFT projects like Derace often launch on Ethereum since it offers visibility and the biggest possible exposure to new investors.

DeRace has already hit all time high of $8.45 back in November 2021 (165X).  

With an initial launch price of $0.05, hitting $1 would require (DERC) to do a 20X. This is surely a tough task but not unimaginable.
