ZED RUN · interactive mechanism simulation

Breeders pay stud fees → foals mint into the horse population → horses race for entry-fee prize pools → new buyers set the floor price. Cut off new buyers and watch the breeding engine outrun demand.

SUNSET: new buyers stop, legacy horses orphaned.

Illustrative simulation. Mirrors the researched ZED RUN mechanism (bloodline breeding fees split to studs/prize-pool/platform, continuous foal minting, classed races funded by entry fees, floor price set by new-buyer demand vs. population) with randomized timing — not live onchain data. The "Trigger sunset" button models VHS's Feb 28 2025 shutdown, when new-buyer demand evaporated and legacy horses were orphaned. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
