Cardano Racers

Preprod testnet · races settled on a Hydra head
Step 1

Connect your wallet

Use Eternl or Lace set to the Preprod network, with some test ADA from the Cardano faucet. Then turn on collateral in the wallet (Eternl or Lace: Settings → Collateral → add 5 ADA) — it's needed to sign race transactions. Keyboard (arrow keys) on a desktop browser is required to race.

Step 2

Get a car, a driver and Nitro

The starter kit is a car and a driver, each with 2 Nitro, for 1 test ADA each. It's one click, but your wallet asks you to sign twice, about a minute apart. Both arrive in your wallet within a few minutes. Entering a race burns its Nitro fee.

Step 3

Join a race

Joining takes two wallet signatures about a minute apart: the first reserves your slot and burns the Nitro fee, the second enters your car and driver. A house racer joins every race as your opponent, and the race starts about 2 minutes after you join.

This is an early test of Cardano Racers. Anything helps — bugs, confusing steps, what was fun. If your wallet is connected we attach your address and current race so we can look up what happened.
