🔥 PFL 2.0 IS HERE — The biggest shake-up in 3+ years of @photofinishgame !
After 3+ years live on #Solana (and nearly 4 in beta), @photofinishgame & @ThirdTimeIan just dropped the ultimate glow-up:
1) a fully playable PFL 2.0 prototype built from the ground up in a sandbox!
2) New lightning-fast core experience ✅
3) Clean modern UI/UX ✅
4) Major economy & gameplay overhauls to drive real growth ✅
No more small tweaks — they rebuilt the vision so the community can play the roadmap right now, give feedback, and help shape the future before the big cutover in Season 42 (while Season 41 keeps rolling).
Ohhh… and don’t forget that $CROWN has:
• Fixed total supply of 250,000,000 $CROWN — no inflation, ever. All tokens have now been fully released into the ecosystem (100% as of April 2025).
• Staked supply: ~149,946,890 $CROWN (almost 60% of total supply locked in by the community) — insane conviction and skin in the game!
• Staking = real ownership + passive income: Stake $CROWN to own shares of virtual race tracks. You earn 20% of every race entry fee paid in $DERBY (pegged 80 $DERBY = $1 USD and cashable out anytime). Track owners/stakers have already received millions in real USD payouts.
• The game has distributed over $39 million in prize payouts to racers + breeders, plus tens of millions more in track earnings and entry-fee rewards to $CROWN stakers.
🏇Real stables are pulling six-figure wins through breeding, racing, and track ownership.🔥
This is a proven, battle-tested economy on Solana with real money flowing to players every single day. The PFL 2.0 upgrades are about to supercharge it all — don’t sleep on $CROWN! 🏇
Long overdue update to the Breeding Report Analyzer for @photofinishgame!
1⃣Expected Grade Preview now loading correctly.
2⃣Breed Quality now more accurate
3⃣Racing Quality functionality restored.
Note: A Weak breed quality has nothing to do with racing quality it simply means the expected value is less than the average of the parents for a particular subgrade(s) that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

“There are no real games on Solana”
A comment I get a lot.
But some projects tell a different story.
One example @photofinishgame 🐎
• launched in 2023
• $60M + in all-time race entry fees
• $10.2M+ paid out in track earnings
• $40M + in race prizes
• $20M+ in horse sales
• team with AAA gaming background (EA Sports, Zynga)
• official partnership with the @KentuckyDerby (the most famous horse race in the US)
• still active players today, 3 years later
Pretty meaningful numbers for a Solana game.
Horse racing and wagering attract a different audience compared to typical games. Still, it’s a strong example of a Web3 game building a real in-game economy.
We probably need more experiments like this across different genres.
I’ll take a bit more time to dig deeper and test it. Review coming in the next few days 🔜
Which teams do you think are quietly building something real right now? 🤔
Tried Zed, Silks, P/finish, Owners Club, Equine. I enjoyed all. Zed and Silks are gone, Equine too slow a burn. Have 40k tokens in OC but game has not developed enough for me. Only room for one game in the space imo and that game is P/finish. Only one that can last and great fun.
When I think of web3 gaming, there’s always been just one unicorn. Funded my honeymoon, gave me many new friends I’d never have met irl, and taught me so much about the power of a resilient small team in modern day product creation.
Over 1000 days racing for real money $. Financial trust, transactional integrity and transparency has been a hallmark of the Third Time team. Not to ever say they’ve been perfect, but they’ve certainly been an inspiration. And soon you’ll get to see just what that inspired… 👀
Gaming legend @xMJ_GAMINGx has an incredible tool site that includes PFL. Claiming corral, breed report analyzer, racing stats and much, much more.
