Greetings, our dear community members! We’ve decided to update a detailed guide on Prosper’s UI, as it’s important to know how to actually use the platform before making any predictions.

Important: please, note, that from now on you will make predictions using your real assets.

Step 1: connecting BSC mainnet to Metamask

Important: please, make sure that you do not attach hardware wallets since Prosper does not support them at the moment.

To predict on Prosper, BSC mainnet must be attached to your Metamask wallet. First, you should open Metamask extension in your browser and choose “Settings”:

Then you need to add Binance Smart Chain mainnet, clicking on “Add network” button and filling in the necessary parameters:

  1. RPC: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
  2. ChainID: 56 (if 56 doesn’t work, try 0x38)
  3. Symbol: BNB
  4. Block Explorer: https://bscscan.com

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added Binance Smart Chain to your Metamask wallet. Use the switcher located at the top of the metamask window to change the network.

Step 2: make a prediction

Go to https://beta.prosper.so/ and press the “Connect wallet” button:

If you’ve successfully connected your wallet to Prosper.so, the page will look like the one on the screen below:

Choose the prediction currency (At the moment you can make predictions using BNB or USDC) and the prediction pair (At the moment we are supporting predictions only for BNB and ETH prices). Press the “Predict” button to place your first prediction. Note that the pool is accepting predictions only for 10 minutes. If the button has grey colour, the prediction placing is unavailable and you need to wait before placing your prediction.

In the next window you need to select a prediction side: bulls or bears and type in prediction amounts in BNB or USDC. Then check again all the data you entered. After that has been done, click “Confirm” button:

Great! Your first prediction on Prosper has been placed! If everything is correct, you will see the next pop-up screen:

Step 3: claiming your prize

Scroll down the screen to find the “Closed pools” section and press the “My” tab. If you won the prediction, push the “Claim” button located at the “Status” column. Confirm transaction on Metamask and the funds will be automatically delivered to your wallet!

As you can see, using Prosper can be easy and fun! We hope that this guide was useful to you and settled down questions about using our product. However if you still have something left, do not hesitate to ask in our chat. Subscribe to our official social media and stay tuned for further news!
