Forget ads. Our GTM strategy is a $1M market. When you launch a new platform, the traditional GTM playbook says to buy ads on Google, X, LinkedIn, or any other platform popular with your target audience. You pay for clicks and impressions, hoping to get noticed. Two weeks ago, we launched our Beta and took a very different approach. We’re using our own protocol as the marketing engine. We opened a $1 million public market on Rain: “Will Donald Trump or Elon Musk post about Rain on X before the end of November?” That’s our launch campaign. Instead of spending that budget on ads, we used it to create a massive financial incentive. By launching a $1M pool, we gave the internet a liquid, tradable, and public incentive to talk, post, and share - potentially making the event itself more likely. It’s a GTM experiment: can you “advertise” by turning a market into the message? Our marketing campaign is live. It’s participatory. And so far - it’s working, even though neither of them has tweeted yet. If you know how to get Elon or Trump to post, now might be a good time to make it happen. https://lnkd.in/dAZp2mxq

A landmark day for prediction markets, crypto, and capital markets. Yesterday, Enlivex Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ENLV), a Nasdaq-listed company, announced a $212M private financing and became the first public company to adopt a digital asset treasury strategy built around prediction markets, with Rain ($RAIN) at the center. Within hours, $ENLV shares crossed $250M in market cap and Rain surged over 100%, entering the top 100 tokens by market cap. As of today, Enlivex holds a treasury valued at $620M - a major signal of institutional belief in our category. And the board announcement? Global leader Matteo Renzi, former Prime Minister of Italy, has joined Enlivex, marking another moment where world leaders are turning their attention to the decentralized economy. But the bigger story is what we’ve built. In the past year, we entered one of crypto’s most competitive categories, facing established giants like Polymarket and Kalshi. With a smaller team and a different philosophy, we focused on user-first innovation: - Anyone can create a market, instantly. - Private Markets allow closed groups to predict internal outcomes. - The Rain protocol is fully decentralized, open, and permissionless - built for everyone. Yesterday was a win for Rain, and for everyone who believes in open markets, collective intelligence, and the next generation of decentralized finance. https://lnkd.in/dqJKzFhe

Donald Trump is entering prediction markets. Brace yourself. The man who once branded steaks, water, vodka, and a fake university just added “Decentralized Oracle of the Future” to his résumé. If you thought crypto was chaotic before, wait until Trump starts launching his own markets. “Will CNN apologize by Friday?” “Will Trump Tower on Mars open before 2030?” “Will I win the 2028 election without even running?” No question is too weird. No result is too rigged. And no market will be safe from all-caps truth bombs at 3AM. Prediction markets were supposed to be about probabilities. Now they’re about personality. Welcome to the Trump era of forecasting. May the odds be ever… unpredictable. #PredictionMarkets #Crypto #Web3 #Rain #Trump #DeFi

How do you create a token? Not the code, not the contract - but the story behind it. At Rain, the token wasn’t just a technical milestone. It was a series of choices, challenges, and moments that defined who we are and what we stand for. We started with a simple question: what should prediction markets look like in a world where decentralization is real? To answer it, we needed more than ambition. We needed partners we could trust, a community willing to believe before anyone else, and a network that could carry our vision. We chose Arbitrum as our home - not because it was trendy, but because its speed, scalability, and ecosystem aligned with the experience we wanted to deliver. We partnered with Gems Launchpad for our sales, a platform that raised over $200M last year and gave us the structure to onboard our earliest believers in three distinct stages. We worked side by side with Hacken, Blockchain Security & Compliance to audit every line of code, because in DeFi, trust begins long before a token trades. We integrated one pf Olympus AI's agents to bring truth into markets, and prepared a buy-and-burn mechanism to ensure long-term sustainability. None of it was easy. There were long nights of testing, moments of doubt, and more than one pivot. But every setback forced us to sharpen our vision. Every delay gave us time to build something stronger. Now, as Rain’s token prepares to step into the world, we see it not as the end of a process - but the beginning of one. The Token Generation Event is the moment of birth. Claims and listings are the next chapters. Beyond that, the story is still being written - by us, by our partners, and most importantly, by the community that believed from day one. Because tokens aren’t just minted. They’re made. And this one carries with it every choice, every lesson, and every promise we intend to keep.

When we set out to build Rain, our vision was clear - create a truly decentralized prediction market platform that feels as seamless as your favorite Web2 app, but with all the trust, transparency, and openness of blockchain. Choosing the right foundation for that vision wasn’t just a technical decision. It was a strategic one. We evaluated the landscape of L1 and L2 solutions, and one stood above the rest: Arbitrum. Here’s why: ☑️ Speed that feels instant - fast block times and low latency make real-time trading possible. ☑️ Scalable throughput - designed to handle growth without sacrificing performance. ☑️ Cost efficiency - low fees keep participation accessible for a truly global audience. Rain is fully built on Arbitrum, and our upcoming $RAIN token will live here too. That token will power our buyback-and-burn mechanism - taking a proven economic model and tuning it for Arbitrum’s speed and scale. We’ve also launched a new community hashtag on Twitter, #ArbitRain, to connect our community with Arbitrum’s vibrant ecosystem. It’s already bringing builders, traders, and prediction market enthusiasts together. This isn’t just about building on a blockchain - it’s about building with a community that shares our values of openness, scalability, and innovation. The future of prediction markets is fast, accessible, and decentralized. For us, that future runs on Arbitrum. #ArbitRain

We’re excited to officially join LinkedIn and introduce Rain - a decentralized options and prediction markets protocol built for everyone.

Rain is changing that. - Fully permissionless: Anyone can create a market on almost anything - no approvals, no barriers. - Onchain and decentralized: Powered by Arbitrum, governed by its community. - AI-driven resolution: Using advanced oracles to ensure accurate and fair outcomes. Our mission is simple: To open prediction markets to the world, giving individuals, communities, and institutions a transparent way to turn insights into tradable, global markets. We’ll be sharing updates here about our journey - from building the protocol to upcoming launches, partnerships, and community initiatives. If you’re interested in DeFi, prediction markets, or shaping the future of open finance, this is the place to connect. Welcome to Rain. Let’s make markets open, unstoppable, and truly global.
