What Is Derace (DERC)?

Derace describes itself as a "complete NFT horse racing ecosystem" that wants to set a new standard for the betting and gaming industries. Derace provides an opportunity to buy and breed NFT horses with unique characteristics, bet on real-time NFT horse races, and build your own NFT hippodrome to host races in and rake in profit.

The project launched its IDO on the 26th of July on DAO Maker. It plans to complete the site's technical aspects in Q3 2021 and launch NFTs of the horses in Q4 2021. That is also when the platform will be published in BETA.

The full platform is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2022, with betting on the virtual horses to kick off in the second half of the year.

Who Are the Founders of Derace?

The eight-people strong core team of Derace is entirely from Lithuania. 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 (last name unknown), the co-founder of Media Bubbles and now the CMO at Derace.

The team also boasts two advisors, including Hassan Sheikh, the co-founder of DAO maker, and angel investor Michael Kam, co-founder of the Asia-based blockchain VC fund Double Peak.

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. This results in a personalized gaming and gambling experience free from regulators and bookmakers banning players, while also offering cheaper and faster transactions.

Furthermore, players have a chance to become a bookmaker with Derace. The community gets to control the stakes in hippodromes – the horse racing tracks. Bookmakers make profit from the fees and bets made by other players before the race.

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.

With Derace, players get to combine the best of both worlds from gaming and gambling, namely excitement and a chance to profit.

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.

Ethereum is the most popular 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.
