PredStake MVP reimagined: secure wallet flows, intuitive event creation, and social engagement building trust, clarity, and early traction fast.
🚩 Context
PredStake set out to test if prediction markets could feel social, clear, and trustworthy in Web3. The mission: ship fast, validate assumptions, and excite early adopters.
❌ The Challenge
Cold wallet onboarding scared off first-timers
Event creation was too technical
Outdated charts weakened trust
No social features meant zero stickiness
For an MVP, the biggest risk was users bouncing before they saw the value.
🧭 The Approach
We focused on core value delivery over feature bloat:
✨ Wallet-first onboarding → teased forecasts before login
🎯 Guided Event Wizard → quick, no-code event creation
📊 Real-time charts → clarity + trust at a glance
💬 Social betting feed → early community hooks
🏅 Lightweight dashboards → bets, history, performance
💥 Impact (Early MVP Metrics)
🚀 Onboarding completion: +46% → 91%
📈 Event creation: 3× growth in week one
🔄 Returning users: +39% MVP retention
👥 Early community engagement: 68% active weekly
🔑 Reflection
PredStake’s MVP proved the hypothesis: with clarity and community, prediction markets don’t just work they thrive. The design sprint cut noise, built trust fast, and set the foundation for scale.
