Derby Stars, a metaverse horse racing game built on the Polygon (MATIC) network, has announced the launch of its early access version today and is scheduled to run through March 20. The Singapore-based GameFi project has announced that the alpha version of the Derby Stars horse racing game will be released later this year. As a result, Derby Stars urges players to participate in giving developers as much feedback as possible to ensure a seamless transition to the alpha version.

Through the “Early Access”, the team hopes to get as much feedback as possible because Derby Stars is a game built together with the users,

said Sean Hahm, Executive Producer of Derby Stars. “

We have worked tirelessly to create a game that truly captures the excitement and thrill of horse racing, and we are confident that the Early Access version is a great representation of what’s to come.

The GameFi industry, fueled by the NFT market, has grown exponentially in the past few years. Multi-chain NFT marketplaces have popped up in the past two years and attracted collectors worldwide. The metaverse and GameFi industry are projected to grow to nearly $300 billion in five years, with governments and institutional investors joining the wagon.

“The gaming industry NFT market is projected to reach $291.7 billion by 2028, and we believe Derby Stars will play a part in changing the gaming landscape,” Sean said. “Derby Stars is at the forefront of the revolution both in the digital horse racing industry and in the ways that blockchain gaming is developed.”

As such, the Derby Stars team is building the necessary infrastructure to onboard more gamers in the years to come. Among them, Derby Stars has promised players enhanced features, including avatar customization, stable management simulation, mobile support (AOS), and a rental marketplace, among others.

Derby Stars and the Crypto Market Outlook

The Derby Stars offers its players an immersive experience in an engaging grassland with various racing tracks. The Derby Stars players can train and race their horses, breed new horses, and engage in exciting player-versus-environment (PvE) and player-versus-player ( PvP). The Derby Stars has tapped the Ethereum-based scaling solution Polygon (MATIC) to give gamers a fast and seamless environment.

With the ability to create Optimistic Rollup chains, ZK Rollup chains, stand-alone chains or any other kind of infra required by the developer, the Derby Stars is assured of a scalable future should the need arise from high adoption.

Nonetheless, the Derby Stars will have to navigate the ongoing crypto regulation to ensure users’ funds are safe from exploitation. Moreover, the SEC chair has indicated that everything else in the crypto industry apart from Bitcoin is unregistered securities.
