How Biconomy helped ZED RUN get more active players!

Biconomy enabled over $212K in Gas Savings & Thousands of fast Cross-Chain Transfers

In late 2020, ZED feared that their user-experience was being negatively impacted by increased gas fees and slow cross-chain transfers, both of which are core components of their user flow.

Virtual horse racing (and gaming in general) require a lot of transactions in order to enter races, trade and breed horses seamlessly. Thus, subjecting users to high gas fees and dealing with slow transfers was simply not an option for ZED, as a cumbersome UX could negatively impact the platform at scale.

Non-crypto savvy users are particularly frustrated by these friction points within dApp user flows. Thus, in order to scale within the broader audience the transaction complexities had to be abstracted away for ZED, as they do for all dApps if they’re hope to achieve mainstream adoption. Luckily, that’s where we come in.

To solve for high gas fees on behalf of their users, ZED RUN integrated Gasless meta transactions in order to eliminate gas fees for racing, breeding and trading NFT horses. On the back end, they gained the ability to sponsor the gas fees via the gas tank, which enabled new users to onboard quickly while also improving the UX for their most active users as well.

ZED is one of the first platforms to adopt an in-app bridge (Hyphen) to be used in a web3.0 gaming dApp, setting a new standard for the user-experience in web3.0 games.

The best part?

Users don’t need to leave the dApp for a bridge interface and wait 15 minutes for a cross-chain transfer. With Hyphen, they can stay on the ZED homepage & immediately get their funds transferred to Polygon, creating a truly seamless (and painless) experience.

By using Hyphen users can securely move tokens within seconds and get back to racing! Doing so is incredibly simple, as shown below.

1. Ensure fast transfers are enabled in your ZED wallet and click transfers

2. Add the amount you’d like to transfer and submit

3. Confirm the transaction and sign in your wallet

4. Congratulations, you’ve transferred with Hyphen!

By working with the ZED RUN team we’ve been able to save users time and fees, that otherwise would’ve been spent on high gas and waiting for cross-chain transfers. We hope to continue working with the team for many years to come, as we both continue on our mission to bring the next billion users to Web3.
