Quick Start
Quick Start
Go from zero to a live prediction market platform in three steps. Create a venue, deploy the app, and launch your first market.
Overview
This guide walks you through launching a fully functional prediction market platform on Base. Three steps, and you're live.
| Step | What You Do | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Create a Venue | Register your venue on-chain with your fee structure and rules | ~5 minutes |
| 2. Deploy the App | Fork the starter app, configure it, and deploy | ~10 minutes |
| 3. Create Your First Market | Launch a binary prediction market on your venue | ~5 minutes |
Prerequisites
Before you start, you'll need:
- A wallet with Base ETH — for gas fees on venue creation and market transactions
- Node.js 18+ — to run the starter app locally
- A Vercel account (or any hosting that supports Next.js) — to deploy the app
- A WalletConnect Project ID — get one free at cloud.walletconnect.com
End State
After these 3 steps you'll have:
- A live prediction market platform accessible on your own domain
- Your own fee structure earning revenue on every trade
- Your first market accepting orders from traders
- A frontend that talks directly to the blockchain and subgraph — no backend needed
