What is Upshot?

Upshot Cards is a digital platform that combines prediction markets with collectible card mechanics. Users purchase mystery packs containing digital prediction cards, each representing a specific yes/no or binary outcome tied to a real-world event e.g., sports results, cultural/meme trends, crypto price actions, or entertainment outcomes, along with an associated prize amount and resolution date.

Mechanically, it functions like opening trading card packs (inspired by formats like NBA Top Shot or traditional TCGs), but instead of static collectibles or gameplay, value derives from accurate prediction redemption. Cards are tokens, enabling ownership, potential trading, and redemption.
