Bitcoin Cash (BCH) vs Rain (RAIN)

Bitcoin Cash is a Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain that was born on August 1, 2017, following a hard fork from Bitcoin due to a disagreement within the Bitcoin community. While the majority of the community chose to adopt the SegWit proposal, a dissenting faction decided to split the blockchain (hard fork) and implement their own improvement, namely an increase in block size from 1 MB to 8 MB, following the original vision of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Rain is a decentralized options protocol built on Arbitrum. It enables anyone to create and trade custom markets without restrictions, offering a permissionless framework for prediction and options trading. Public markets are resolved using Olympus AI’s oracle agent, while private markets allow creators to act as resolvers. The protocol supports secondary trading, account abstraction for smoother user experience, and a deflationary token model where 2.5% of trading volume is allocated to buy and burn the $RAIN token. Governance of the protocol is carried out by token holders through a DAO.
