Currently only Moon Doge NFTs are eligible to compete in the race; however it is not limited to only them. Any NFT that follows the statistical guidelines for racing can be eligible to compete.

What else can I do with one of these NTFs?

These NFTs are also playable avatars in the Ethos Metaverse. The Ethos is a hyper realistic space metaverse built on the UNREAL Engine, operating on the Avalanche Smart Chain. The Ethos will have a solar system in-game that mirrors our own while also having customized planets and moons mixed in. Players will fly DogeShips from planet to planet exploring the Ethos. Currently you can explore Titan, the base planet, as a Doge or you can fly across the planet in a DogeShip. More activities will be made available over time including games to quest, achievements to earn, new planets to explore, new avatars to use, more customization for bases, and more ways to earn rewards.
