Rain Trade is a predictive markets platform built on the Rain Protocol that adopts a decentralized and community-driven model to expand access to this market. The platform allows anyone to create, trade, and participate in markets related to real-world events, regardless of language, promoting collective participation in building forecasts. Predictive markets have been growing globally as tools for estimating probabilities of future events in areas such as economics, politics, sports, technology, and cultural trends, based on the collective intelligence of participants. Rain Trade differentiates itself by allowing users themselves to propose new markets, rather than limiting them to pre-defined events on the platform.
