A complete product around a one-minute race.
The product challenge
A short race cycle needs a clear sequence: understand the state, choose a participant, watch the outcome and inspect the result. The surrounding product also needs an understandable identity and explanation.
My contribution
Founder ownership across product direction, UX/UI, frontend, gameplay systems, on-chain interactions and ongoing operations, as documented in the career material.
From entry to return
The app connects race entry, prediction choices, Chips, customization and results. The original screens show the product’s interface and state model; the public website carries the same identity into acquisition.

Selected views, framed to explain the work. Complete original artifacts are available in the source collection below.
Build a clear starting point
The original app home brings the race entry, next start, Chips and return actions together. Product identity carries into the working interface.
Explain the decision before confirmation
The selection view puts the amount beside Win, Place and Show choices. Their meanings appear before the odds table, with a deliberate confirmation step.
Give players a sense of ownership
The collection distinguishes the equipped horse from other owned skins, connecting customization to the next race.
Let the race become the focus
The running phase gives the track, participants and timer the main surface. This is the original repository screenshot, selected to show the app itself.
Carry the experience into its public story
The public website establishes the racing identity and introduces the product before people enter the app.

The result
A product spanning experience design, interface development and gameplay systems, selected for the Startale Superstars program on Soneium.
A question for the next iteration
Can a new participant explain the current product phase and find the verification information without confusing roadmap features with available actions?

Founder role and current status confirmed by Vincenzo. The $5,000 grant amount follows his latest confirmation, superseding the $10,000 amount in earlier career material. Startale’s January 2026 announcement independently names Clash Horse among the Superstars winners; it does not itemize individual grant amounts. App home, prediction and skins screens render the original source with sample session data and no live transactions. The race image is an exact selection from the original repository screenshot.
