Adds one row to Projects Built with BlockRun, following the invitation under that table.

eltociear/metaculus-forecast-bot — an autonomous forecasting bot competing in the funded Metaculus AI Benchmark tournaments (Summer FutureEval $50k, MiniBench $1k rolling, Market Pulse $7.5k, Animal Futures $3.4k).

How it uses BlockRun

nvidia/gpt-oss-120b through blockrun-llm is the bot's LLM backend:

from blockrun_llm import LLMClient
text = LLMClient(private_key=key).chat(BLOCKRUN_MODEL, prompt, ...)

The bot is otherwise stdlib-only — blockrun-llm is its single third-party dependency.

Why it's a real dependency, not a badge

Its previous backend (a HuggingFace free tier) depleted mid-season and every forecast started abstaining, which froze participation in the $50k tournament outright. BlockRun's free NVIDIA tier restored it with no API key and no quota — wallet-signature auth alone — and it has been forecasting on it since. The failure and the switch are documented in the code.

For maintainers: the entry sits in the existing Prediction Markets category, next to your own Polymarket agent. Diff is one line; no other content touched.
