TAIPEI, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Game-Fi world welcomes a bold new contender as CJC Race officially launches worldwide, revolutionizing the blockchain gaming landscape with its immersive horse racing experience and dynamic Play-to-Earn economy.

Built on the Arbitrum blockchain, CJC Race blends strategic gameplay with real-world earning potential, offering players a chance to become digital stable owners, compete in high-stakes tournaments, and earn stablecoin rewards. With its motto "skills meet strategy, rewards meet reality" the game invites both newcomers and seasoned Game-Fi enthusiasts to dive into a new era of strategic Game-Fi horse racing ecosystem.

Strategic Racing Meets Real-World Value

At the heart of CJC Race, it is a competitive simulation where players collect NFT Horses, Jockeys, and Items to build their ultimate racing teams. Success hinges on tactical decisions—matching horses to track types and distances, optimizing team synergy, and mastering diverse formats like:

Champion Stakes: Monthly prize pool starting at 30,000 USDT, exclusive to Tycoon Club members.

League Challenges: Distance-based races with 18,000 USDT in seasonal rewards. (Opens when the number of members reaches 511.)

Grand Master Cups: Open tournaments with payouts up to 150x the entry fee.

PvP Battles: 24/7 racing with customizable stakes and prize splits.

Farm: Passive income opportunities up to 15 USDT/month.

Day Spa: Additional profit opportunities by bidding for management rights to the Day Spa.

All in-game earnings can be exchanged for USDT, turning gameplay into stable and tangible financial returns.

Tycoon Club: Where Ownership Meets Opportunity

CJC Race introduces the Tycoon Club, a groundbreaking economic model that rewards community growth. Every NFT mystery box purchase earns membership points, grants access to exclusive races and a share of the platform's expanding prize pool. As the member base grows, so do the rewards—automatically distributed in USDT to loyal members.

"Our ecosystem is designed to reward strategic play, community participation, and long-term commitment," said a CJC Race spokesperson. "As our racing community expands, the ecosystem's value grows, and our earliest, most loyal supporters deserve to share in that success. We're committed to creating a sustainable Game-Fi platform where players control their racing experience and earn consistent income—bringing the Play-to-Earn vision to life. This is Game-Fi done right."

Massive Prize Pools and Future Guild Wars

To celebrate its global launch, CJC Race will debut with an initial monthly prize pool at 60,000 USDT, scaling with player participation. Upcoming updates will introduce a Guild system, adding another 30,000 USDT in monthly rewards and fostering team-based competition.
