🛖NFT Hippodromes

Hippodromes are one of the central points of Ekuus: it's where you can experience the thrill of a race, the excitement of competition, and the joy of winning. They vary in their visual appearance and inherent parameters. The track length varies up to 3200 meters. They also feature two different surfaces that affect the performance of the NFT horse, specifically its endurance. Horse racing competitions take place exclusively at hippodromes. Ownership of a hippodrome is represented by NFT tokens. Each track is divided into 10,000 tokens, allowing participants to have a stake in the ownership of the track. For those players or groups interested in taking on administrative roles at NFT hippodromes, owning 50% of the tokens (or more) is required to have the right to manage the races. Hippodrome administrators are responsible for determining how and when races are held at their facilities. These competitions may be open to the public, subject to certain criteria (such as a specific winning record), or by exclusive invitation. The administrator has control over registration fees and the accumulated prize assigned to winners.

Hippodromes will be linked to different countries and cities, meaning that the weather during a race will reflect that of the city to which the hippodrome is associated. Weather conditions such as rain, wind, or temperature will have a significant impact on the race's development, as they can affect the performance of horses and the strategy of jockeys. Additionally, some races will be held at night, adding an extra element of challenge and excitement, as lighting and visibility conditions may influence the race's outcome.
