# Horsy V1 (live)

HORSY V1 is the first live version of the on-chain horse racing game deployed on HyperEVM. It introduces the core betting mechanics of the HORSY ecosystem and allows players to participate in live races using a selection of static horses and multiple tokens.

### 🎮 How It Works

In HORSY V1, players place bets on which horse they believe will win in a 15-horse race. The interface is simple, retro-styled, and fully on-chain — designed for speed, fairness, and fun.

### 🐎 Choose Your Winning Horse

You can select from 15 static horses — each with a unique appearance but equal odds. Horses are numbered #1 through #15 and remain the same across every race in V1.

There is no performance variance between horses in V1; each race is provably random and fair.

### 💸 Betting Mechanics

#### 🪙 Supported Tokens

* HYPE
* FEUSD
* PURR
* BUDDY

Each token has its own dedicated pool system, meaning there are 4 independent race ecosystems running in parallel — one for each token making a total of 16 available betting pools.

#### 📊 Pool Structure

Each token features:

* 4 betting pools
* Each pool runs independently
* Players join a pool by choosing a horse and placing their bet

#### 🧾 How to enter race

1. Connect your wallet on the race page
2. Select a token to bet with (e.g., HYPE)
3. Choose the amount to wager
4. Place your bet in one of the token’s available pools

### 🏁 Race Start Conditions

Races are automatically triggered based on pool activity:

* Maximum of 15 players per pool (race triggers automatically
* Minimum of 5 players to start countdown (80 blocks countdown)
* Once 5 players have joined a pool, a countdown begins. Race will be automatically triggered when countdown hits 0
* Countdown resets everytime when a player enters up till 15
* If 15 players are reached before countdown ends, the race starts immediately
* Once the race ends, the winner is selected, and rewards are distributed instantly on-chain

### 🖥 Live Coverage

A live race visualizer gives you real-time feedback and adds excitement to every match. While the horses are static in V1, the live coverage box makes each race feel immersive and unpredictable.

### 🧠 Fairness & Transparency

Every race in HORSY V1 is powered by on-chain logic. Outcomes are determined using verifiable randomness — ensuring no tampering, favoritism, or manipulation. All data and transactions are open and inspectable on the HyperEVM explorer.

### 🔮 What’s Next?

HORSY V1 laid the groundwork for on-chain racing — but it’s just the beginning.

With HORSY V2 on the horizon, the game is evolving from simple betting into a fully-fledged strategy-based ecosystem. Players won’t just bet — they’ll train, breed, and build powerful stables to compete for dominance.

V2 is where skill, timing, and strategy take center stage — and where early adopters with Gen0 horses will gain a serious edge.
