Communities can now challenge their fans to predict the outcome of anything. Match results, tournament winners, award nominations, on-stream events, and show plot twists. Simple to run. Easy to play. And it works for almost anything.


Wherever there's an outcome, there's a prediction

Sports got there first. Esports made it a daily ritual. But the instinct is everywhere fans are. A music label runs a prediction on which track hits number one first. A festival asks which set everyone will still be talking about on Sunday night. A racing team runs predictions on the podium or fastest lap. A reality show has fans call the elimination order before the episode drops. A creator asks about the next milestone, the next collab, the next twist.

If fans have a hunch, they want to register it. If there's a result coming, they want to be there when it lands.


Prediction markets are having a moment

Prediction markets are everywhere. They're one of the loudest consumer stories of the last few years. Millions of people now spend their evenings calling the outcome of news, sports, culture, and politics. The behaviour has gone mainstream, and it scales. Predictions also do something other engagement tools can't. They hold attention through the dead period. The wait between answer and reveal pulls any fan back.

Now FanBase is scaling it across all fandoms. 


We're just getting started

Our initial implementation will have fans predicting, organisations resolving, and winners getting rewarded. But the vision is much bigger.

Staked predictions that have fans putting down their earned resources on the line. Pool-based rewards that scale with the crowd. Streaks. Recurring formats. Dynamic odds. History. Leaderboards. Everything a prediction experience should be, built into the apps fans use.

The instinct to call the outcome is one of the strongest in any community.

Now it has somewhere to go.
