## 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 the 26th of July on [DAO Maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dao-maker/). 

The beta version of DeRace was launched on 28th of December. 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. 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 former professional footballer who played as striker in Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United and is nor 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 three multi-billion-dollar sectors simultaneously: video gaming, horse racing and gambling. The project sees a massive opportunity in the lack of video games with gambling features. At the same time, horse racing suffers from corruption scandals and a lack of digitalization vis-a-vis other sports. Furthermore, people have lost trust and interest in centralized gambling solutions due to slow transaction settlements.

DeRace proposes a personalized gaming experience that is 100% fair and transparent. Players aren't restricted to being spectators but instead take quite literally ownership of the process by purchasing unique NFT horses. 

Furthermore, players have a chance to host races with DeRace. The community gets to control the stakes in hippodromes – the horse racing tracks. 

DeRace also plans to launch the world’s first cash flow generating ETFs for NFTs in late 2022 to 2023. The ETFs will contain an underlying basket of horses or hippodromes, which will be used in races to generate cash flow.

Ethereum works with a proof-of-work consensus mechanism and is secured by a massive decentralized network of miners. 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.
