Your first seven days running a prediction platform

Day 1: pick an audience and one event

Choose people you can already reach and an event already available in the Hyperliquid catalog. Read its exact settlement rules. Check that its liquidity and available context suit your audience. Do not advertise a custom question you cannot offer.

Write one sentence: “This site helps [our audience] follow and discuss [these events].” If it only says that you can earn fees, rewrite it around the member’s benefit.

Day 2: preview, claim, and publish

Preview your prediction platform with your name and a theme. The preview does not reserve a name. Connect your owner wallet when you are ready to claim and publish.

Review your public URL, branding, social links, fees, help route, and applicable terms. Test the site on a phone. Keep the initial design simple enough that a new visitor can find the event you chose.

Day 3: prepare the invitation

Use the share message after publication, then personalize it. Include a direct event link, what your community will discuss, a clear fee disclosure, and how trading accounts work. Tell people where to ask questions.

Invite a small group of existing members individually with their consent. Do not make deposits or trading a condition of belonging to the community. Someone reading the market rules can still give valuable product feedback.

Day 4: observe the first visit

Ask members to explain what they think the site does before helping them. Watch where they hesitate: wallet connection, funding, fee approval, market selection, or the settlement rules. Record the question in their words.

Help with the interface without choosing trades or handling anyone’s keys. Turn repeated questions into a pinned answer and a link to the trader documentation.

Day 5: host an event discussion

Post the question, deadline, settlement source, and the strongest arguments on both sides. On supported sports markets, use the match information as context and distinguish it from the binding settlement rules.

Moderate spam and paid promotion. Explain any reward arrangement. A useful discussion should remain useful for members who never place a trade.

Day 6: publish a balanced recap

Explain the result using the published rules. Include what surprised you and where your analysis was wrong. Avoid turning a winning screenshot into a promise of returns. Link the next relevant event for people who want to continue following.

Day 7: decide what to repeat

Review external visitors, first traders, returning traders, actual builder fees, and support time. Separate your own tests from member activity. Wallet counts are not counts of unique people.

Before activation, builder fees go to Floatout and are not a claimable owner balance. Use observed eligible activity in the calculator before deciding to activate earnings. Include partner rewards and your own operating costs.

If members do not return, improve the experience or revisit the audience. If they do, repeat the event routine and consider a partner program. Use the pilot scorecard to keep the evidence consistent.
