5️⃣ Finally, I sold the cards I didn’t like for GOLD and burned it to gain XP, climbing the monthly leaderboard and reaching 1st place. (Actually $785.31)
More updates soon! What about you?
3️⃣ For the Crash event, I kept all the crash cards so that at least one of them would end up winning, and it worked.
Since we still don’t have full information about the future use case of SHOTS, I decided not to sell them, but that might change in future. ($568.40)
My first 2 weeks on Upshot Mainnet recap🧵
Here’s a quick breakdown of my activity on @upshot_cards during the first two weeks since mainnet launched, a thread👇🏻
Guess I should open packs more often 👀

TL;DR
Upshot combines:
🎴 trading cards
📊 prediction markets
🎮 gamification
If the team keeps iterating fast, this could become one of the most interesting consumer crypto apps this year.
Curious to hear from others using it, what’s been your experience so far?👇🏻
6/
There’s also a gamified layer:
• leaderboards
• XP progression
• contests
• card lineups
So it’s not just about finding the best cards, there’s also a strong management and strategy component involved:
You need to decide how to allocate your resources, etc.

How it works in practice:
1️⃣ Connect your wallet
2️⃣ Open card packs (some are free)
3️⃣ Receive prediction cards
4️⃣ Use them in contests, sell them, or hold them until the event resolves
If the prediction is correct, the card pays.
4/
This turns traditional prediction markets into something that feels more like a collectible card game.
And that’s where Upshot becomes really interesting.
3/
There are different types of rewards:
💸 Direct USDC payouts
💰 Gold (a currency used to buy/sell cards in the marketplace or burned for XP, which improves your leaderboard position and increases your monthly payout (yes, there’s a monthly payout system).
💫 Shots (tba???)

First: what is Upshot?
@upshot_cards is a platform where cards represent predictions about real world events.
Like:
• sports results
• internet / culture events
• market related outcomes
If the prediction turns out to be correct, the card pays out a reward.
1/
I’ve been using @upshot_cards for 11 days since it launched on mainnet
Spoiler: it’s one of the most interesting mixes of prediction markets + trading cards + crypto I’ve seen recently
Here’s how it works, a thread👇🏻
I just hit the @Chopcorpsol Lumberode (Jackpot) and got 11% share by deploying 0.5 $SOL 🪓🪓🪓
Chopcorp is a $LOG chopping (mining) protocol based on risk, timing, and strategy rather than insider advantage. Everything runs transparently on-chain.👇🏻
