# How to Make a Prediction & Mint Your Card

> Pick a match outcome, approve a Solana transaction, and watch your rarity-graded NFT card reveal itself — step by step.

Making a prediction in Kickchain is how you grow your collection. You pick an outcome for a World Cup fixture, approve a quick Solana transaction in your wallet, and receive a permanently minted NFT card whose rarity is locked in by the live odds at the moment you tap. Here's exactly how to do it.

<Warning>
  Each market can only be predicted **once per wallet**. Once you mint a prediction, it is permanent and cannot be undone or changed — choose carefully.
</Warning>

## Step-by-Step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a match from the Matches tab">
    Tap any fixture in the **Matches** tab to open its market picker screen. You'll land on the fixture page showing all three available markets.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a market tab">
    At the top of the screen you'll see three tabs. Tap the one you want to predict:

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Result">
        Predict the 90-minute match result — the **home team to win**, a **Draw**, or the **away team to win**.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Goals">
        Predict total goals — **Over 2.5** or **Under 2.5** goals in the match.
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="BTTS">
        Predict whether **both teams will score** ("Both score · Yes" or "Both score · No") during the match.
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the option rows">
    Each outcome is listed as a row showing three things:

    * **Outcome label** — what you're predicting (e.g., the home team name, "Draw", "Over 2.5", "Both score · Yes")
    * **Rarity label** — the colour-coded tier your card will be if you mint this option (e.g., "EPIC PULL")
    * **Odds plate** — the live decimal odds at this moment

    | Rarity    | Odds range  | Leaderboard points |
    | --------- | ----------- | ------------------ |
    | Common    | \< 2.00     | 1 pt               |
    | Rare      | 2.00 – 3.49 | 2 pts              |
    | Epic      | 3.50 – 6.99 | 3 pts              |
    | Legendary | ≥ 7.00      | 5 pts              |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check for the MINTED indicator">
    If you've already predicted a market for this fixture, its option row shows a **✓ MINTED** label in gold. You cannot mint that market again from this wallet. Switch to a different market tab or choose a different fixture.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap your chosen outcome">
    Tap the row for the outcome you want. Kickchain sends a transaction to your connected wallet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve in your wallet">
    Your **Phantom** wallet (or any Mobile Wallet Adapter wallet) will show a transaction prompt. Review it and tap **Approve**. The prediction is now being recorded on Solana.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for on-chain confirmation">
    Kickchain waits for the transaction to confirm on Solana. This usually takes a few seconds. You'll see a brief loading state while this happens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch the MintReveal overlay">
    Once confirmed, the **MintReveal overlay** launches automatically:

    * Your new card **scales in** from the centre of the screen (0.7 → 1.06 → 1.0)
    * A **foil streak sweeps** across the card face in a loop — more dramatic for rarer tiers
    * The headline **"PACK OPENED"** and subtitle **"Card minted"** appear above the card
    * Your outcome, odds, and rarity are displayed on the card front
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what to do next">
    After the reveal, two buttons appear:

    * **View my collection** — jump straight to your Collection tab to admire the new card
    * **Keep predicting** — dismiss the overlay and return to the market picker to mint more
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Gets Locked In Forever

When your transaction confirms, the following are permanently written on-chain and will never change:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Your outcome" icon="bullseye">
    The exact result you predicted (e.g., "Away Win", "Over 2.5", "Both score · Yes")
  </Card>

  <Card title="Odds at pick" icon="chart-line">
    The live decimal odds at the moment you minted
  </Card>

  <Card title="Rarity tier" icon="gem">
    Common, Rare, Epic, or Legendary — set by your odds at pick
  </Card>

  <Card title="Edition & serial" icon="hashtag">
    Your card's unique serial number within its rarity edition
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Bold predictions pay off on the leaderboard. A correct Legendary pick (≥ 7.00 odds) earns **5 points**, versus just 1 point for a Common. One courageous call can move you several places up the rankings if the result goes your way.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Kickchain runs on **Solana**. Make sure your wallet is connected before tapping an outcome, and that you have some SOL to cover the small transaction fee.
