How It Works 3 min read

Your first prediction in five minutes

Connect a wallet, get testnet USDC, call all ten matches, and submit: the whole flow, start to finish.

PitchMkt has no signup form. No email, no username, nothing to remember. You connect a wallet, call ten matches, and submit. The app handles the arithmetic. This is what that looks like on test.pitchmkt.xyz, step by step.

1. Connect a wallet

Hit Connect wallet in the top-right corner and pick whatever you normally use: MetaMask, Rabby, a WalletConnect mobile wallet. If you're not already on HyperEVM testnet, connecting will prompt you to switch.

Connecting isn't quite the same as being ready to submit. The submit button also checks for a wallet session, so the first time through you'll be asked to Authenticate: one signature that proves you control the address, no gas involved.

2. Get testnet HYPE for gas

Every transaction on HyperEVM testnet, including minting USDC and submitting a prediction, needs a bit of HYPE to pay for gas. Grab some from the QuickNode faucet.

If that faucet is dry or rate-limited, there's a longer route that also works: drip mock USDC on Hyperliquid testnet, buy a bit of HYPE there, and bridge it over to HyperEVM testnet.

3. Get testnet USDC

Submitting a prediction costs testnet USDC, since that's what every column is priced in. With your wallet connected, a Mint USDC button sits next to your balance. Click it, confirm, and 100 mUSDC lands in your wallet.

The faucet is rate-limited per wallet to one mint every 24 hours. Try again before that window is up, and the app tells you exactly how long until the next one.

4. Make your picks

Every matchweek is ten matches, and for each one you tap H, D, or A: home win, draw, away win. Tap one and that match is a single. Tap two and it's a double; all three makes it a triple.

A second mark on a match doesn't start a second prediction, it widens the one you're already building. The picks panel tracks this as you go: Your prediction · 4 / 10, counting matches, not marks, so a double still moves the counter by one.

5. Watch the cost, not choose it

There's no amount field anywhere in this flow. The panel shows three numbers instead, updating as you pick:

  • Columns: how many complete combinations your picks currently span
  • Unit price: fixed at 2 USDC, same for everyone
  • Cost so far: columns × unit price

Ten singles span one column, so the cost sits at 2 USDC. Mark a second outcome on any match and it becomes two columns, priced at 4 USDC, because you're now backing every combination those marks produce, not one outcome per match. The price isn't something you set; it comes straight out of the picks.

6. Submit

Once all ten matches have a mark, the button at the bottom changes from something like 6 picks remaining to Submit prediction. Tapping it runs through a short sequence:

  1. Approving USDC spend… (only if a previous approval doesn't already cover this cost)
  2. Waiting for wallet signature…
  3. Confirming transaction on-chain…
  4. Saving your prediction…

No minimum, no maximum. One column is the floor, and a full ten-match prediction always clears it.

7. Your receipt

Once the prediction is on-chain, a share card appears with your picks already laid out on it. It's handy if you want a public, timestamped record of your call before any results come in.

The prediction itself shows up under My predictions, in the In play tab, and updates as results land through the matchweek. When the matchweek settles it moves to To claim if it won anything, or Settled if it didn't. Claiming is one transaction regardless of how many tiers a wide prediction landed in.
