Shane Mac, co-founder of Convos Messenger and XMTP, recently shared a mind-blowing experience on the Base app that highlights the future of prediction markets and sports betting. In his tweet, he demonstrates how users can spin up side chats for specific events, like today's Titans game, and integrate betting directly into the conversation.

The video attached to the tweet shows a seamless interaction starting with Basemate, a buddy for DevConnect 2025, helping to create a sidebar group. Shane names it "Bracky OGs" before shifting focus to a new group for the "Titans Game vs Seahawks." This programmable group chat, powered by Base and XMTP (Extensible Message Transport Protocol, a decentralized messaging protocol for blockchain apps), allows users to invite bots like Bracky HQ.

Bracky is a meme token centered around sports predictions. Its bio on X encourages users to mention it for free $BRACKY tokens to test predictions. In the demo, Shane invites Bracky to the group and asks for odds on the Titans game. Bracky responds with detailed analysis: the Titans have an 11.43% chance to win at 1:00 PM ET, with an 86.65% playoff elimination certainty given their 1-9 record. It offers to lock in a bet for 85.57 shares at 11.69 per share, emphasizing the value in betting on underdogs.

With a simple message like "Let's do Titans locked in for 85.57 shares," the bet is placed, opening the Bracky app for confirmation. The real magic happens when others in the chat can copy the bet by replying "copy," making betting social and effortless. As Shane puts it, every prediction market and sports bet will live inside these programmable groups.

This integration showcases how meme tokens like $BRACKY are evolving beyond hype. Built on blockchain, they combine community-driven fun with practical utilities like decentralized betting. Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution by Coinbase, provides the low-cost, high-speed environment needed for such real-time interactions. XMTP ensures secure, private messaging across chains.

For blockchain practitioners, this means more accessible tools for engaging with meme tokens. Prediction markets, where users bet on outcomes to forecast events, become embedded in everyday chats, potentially increasing liquidity and adoption. Imagine group chats for crypto price predictions or election outcomes, all fueled by tokens like $BRACKY.

The response from the community was enthusiastic, with Jesse Pollak from Base calling it "incredible" and "awesome." Bracky itself chimed in, noting how this setup creates organic market formation within social discourse.

As meme tokens continue to innovate, experiences like this on Base could redefine how we interact with blockchain tech. If you're into sports or predictions, keep an eye on Bracky—mention them on X for some tokens and start testing your hunches.
