What Is Rainbow (RNBW) and How Does It Work?
Rainbow (RNBW) is the native ecosystem token associated with Rainbow, a popular
self-custodial crypto wallet designed to make
Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchains more accessible to everyday users. Rainbow is best known for its clean interface, strong NFT support, and seamless integration with decentralized applications (dApps), allowing users to manage tokens, NFTs, and DeFi positions from a single wallet.
The RNBW token is designed to align long-term users with the growth of the Rainbow ecosystem. It is closely linked to Rainbow’s points and rewards system, where users earn points by actively using the wallet, such as swapping tokens, bridging assets, interacting with dApps, or holding NFTs. These points are expected to translate into RNBW allocations, incentivizing real on-chain activity rather than speculative behavior alone.
From a functional standpoint, RNBW is positioned as a utility and ecosystem participation token. As the Rainbow ecosystem evolves, RNBW may be used for governance, rewards, and future premium features within the wallet experience. By tying token ownership to active wallet usage, Rainbow aims to build a community-driven network where users directly benefit from increased adoption and engagement across Ethereum and supported
Layer-2 networks.
When Did Rainbow Wallet and RNBW Token Launch?
Rainbow started out as a non-custodial Ethereum wallet focused on ease of use, NFT support, and Web3 accessibility; the project was founded and originally launched in 2019, quickly gaining adoption for on-chain activity and token management. In late 2023, Rainbow introduced its Points program to reward users for swaps, bridges, NFT interactions, and other wallet activity, laying the groundwork for its ecosystem token. Building on that momentum, Rainbow announced its native RNBW token launch for Q4 2025, aiming to convert accumulated Points into tradable tokens, with the official Token Generation Event (TGE) scheduled for early February 2026, around February 5, 2026.
Rainbow Wallet (RNBW) Roadmap and Future Milestones
- Q4 2025 — Announcement and rollout of the RNBW token, with community-wide airdrop via Points conversion.
- Dec 2025 — Public sale and token distribution planning, e.g., CoinList sale & community snapshot.
- Feb 2, 2026 — Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) on
Uniswap to establish on-chain liquidity ahead of launch.
- Feb 5, 2026 — Official Token Generation Event (TGE) and RNBW launch, enabling tradability and market price discovery.
What Is the RNBW Token Used for?
The RNBW token is designed primarily as the ecosystem utility and participation token for the Rainbow Wallet, a popular non-custodial Ethereum wallet focused on NFTs, DeFi, and seamless Web3 interaction. It incentivizes user engagement by converting Rainbow Points, earned through on-chain activities like swaps, bridges, and dApp interactions, into a tradable token, aligning long-term users with network growth.
Beyond rewards and incentives, RNBW is expected to play a role in governance and community participation, enabling holders to have a say in future changes or upgrades to the Rainbow ecosystem as it evolves. Some proposals suggest additional utility like staking rewards and potential buybacks tied to platform activity, further rewarding active participants and linking token demand to actual usage metrics.

- Airdrop: 15% – allocated to eligible community members who earned Rainbow Points through on-chain activity like swaps, bridging, and dApp interactions.
- Community Incentives: 15% – set aside for ongoing engagement programs and rewards after TGE.
- Team: 12.2% – allocated to the core team with vesting schedules designed to align long-term incentives.
- Investors: 7.8% – early supporters and backers.
- Pre-sale/Public Sale: 3% – tokens offered through public sales like CoinList.
How to Claim Rainbow Wallet (RNBW) Airdrop
To claim your RNBW tokens, you first need to earn Rainbow Wallet Points by actively using the wallet — these points are what will be converted into RNBW at the Token Generation Event (TGE).
1. Download and Set Up Rainbow Wallet
Visit the official rainbow.me website or the app store and install the Rainbow Wallet app as mobile or browser extension. Create a new wallet or import an existing one using your seed phrase; this wallet address will be the one that receives your RNBW tokens later.
2. Earn Rainbow Points (Eligibility Basis): Rainbow Points — which convert into RNBW at the airdrop — are earned by performing on-chain activities such as:
- Swapping tokens inside the wallet.
- Bridging assets across supported chains.
- Using the in-app dApp browser for DeFi or NFT interactions.
- Holding crypto and minting NFTs within Rainbow.
- Referring friends through your invite link.
3. Await Snapshot and Airdrop Claim Window
Projects typically take a snapshot of your wallet activity leading up to the airdrop; for RNBW this snapshot occurred around January 26, 2026 ahead of the TGE on February 5, 2026.
Once the airdrop is live, claim instructions (often directly inside the Rainbow app or on the Points/Airdrop page) will let you convert your accumulated points into RNBW tokens and receive them in your wallet.
Tips for a Smooth Claim
- Make sure you have some ETH for gas fees since on-chain interactions and claim transactions require it.
- Avoid phishing sites; always use the official Rainbow Wallet app or website to check eligibility and claim.
