what's Upshot?
Upshot is a blockchain-based platform on Base that introduces prediction markets through collectible card packs. Users "rip" packs to reveal prediction cards, which can be traded on the marketplace or used to participate in high-stakes predictions about internet culture, events, and crypto trends. The system incentivizes community growth via referral rewards, where inviters earn cashback and fees from referrals' activities, with points like Shot Points for ecosystem engagement. Key mechanics include pack drops with partners, limited-supply claims, and a referral vault that unlocks free packs at thresholds. Marketplace trades generate fees split between referrers and burns, fostering a sustainable economy. Designed for viral, gamified predictions, it bridges DeFi elements with collectibles in a beta phase transitioning to mainnet.
Upshot returns $50,000 Base grant directly to users, early believers, and future players.
