Rainbow Foundation to Hold 20% Project Stake, TGE Timing to Be Announced Early Next Week

Rainbow Foundation announced it will hold 20% of project equity at the Token Generation Event (TGE), representing all $RNBW token holders and ensuring token holders can share in the project’s future growth. To this end, Rainbow has created a Foundation-exclusive Class F equity.

The $RNBW token will be deeply integrated into the Rainbow ecosystem, becoming the core of the platform’s rewards and rights system. Users generate revenue by using Rainbow features (such as trading, prediction markets, etc.), with a portion of fees used to buy back $RNBW tokens and distributed in real time to token holders. This reward mechanism is based on real economic activity, rather than simple token emissions. If the Rainbow project is acquired in the future, the foundation will dissolve and distribute its 20% equity proceeds to $RNBW holders. Rainbow plans to announce the specific time for TGE early next week and will prioritize the equity allocation process for the foundation.
