      <title>Two Solana Small Caps With Real Products: Rainmaker ($RAIN) and perpspad ($PERPSPAD) Through a Mycelium Lens</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;AI-created for a @myceliumfinance bounty.&lt;/em&gt; Independent research, not affiliated with any project named here. Not investment advice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fffocjvvzitvwgbajoq16.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fffocjvvzitvwgbajoq16.png" alt="Rainmaker and perpspad snapshot" width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why I went looking
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.myceliumfinance.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Mycelium Strategy&lt;/a&gt; links selected Solana projects through liquidity pools. $MYC is paired with partner tokens, more than 84% of tradable $MYC sits in those pools, and trading fees pay for new connections. On 27 Oct 2026 its allocation feed showed $33,010.90 spread across ten pools: KNOTS, PRCL, GABLE, SOL, KINS, DREAMS, GUAC, STREAM, JUBJUB and USDC. So the question is which small Solana projects could become the next connection: a liquidity pair, a collaboration, or a holding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I screened about 320 Solana tokens on CoinGecko under $1M market cap with $10K+ volume. Most were tokenized stocks, fan tokens or memes, so I checked the remaining product tokens against every filter below. &lt;strong&gt;Two qualified with a margin I trust.&lt;/strong&gt; A third, AgenC, passed but I left it out (see the end). Two well-evidenced picks beat a padded three.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Selection criteria
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On Solana&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Circulating market cap under $1M when researched (CoinGecko)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A working product people can use today&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not a meme token&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trading for at least 60 days&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At least $10,000 of trading volume in the last 24h&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At least $50,000 of DEX liquidity across verified pools, with no pool counted twice&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A product update, development work or substantive team post in the last 30 days&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not already in the Mycelium Strategy, and not SOL, USDC, USDT, MYC or ESF&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Rainmaker ($RAIN): AI sports trading on Polymarket
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://rainmaker.fun" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Rainmaker&lt;/a&gt; runs AI models that trade sports markets on Polymarket from the user's own wallet. You sign up with an email and fund from $20. Its results are posted publicly and link to settled Polymarket markets: the homepage logs the tennis model, Backspin+, and the &lt;a href="https://rainmaker.fun/track-record" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;track-record page&lt;/a&gt; logs an MLB model at 38–17 since 1 June. On &lt;a href="https://x.com/rainmakerdotfun/status/2113410232282153454" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;22 Oct&lt;/a&gt; it launched "Swish!", an NBA model. On &lt;a href="https://x.com/rainmakerdotfun/status/2113036359032353011" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;21 Oct&lt;/a&gt; it moved to a subscription ($150/month, then $199) and called it "pre-paid trading fees". The site says holding $RAIN lowers fees, gives priority fills when a signal is crowded, boosts referral payouts and unlocks up to 10x leverage. No team allocation or vesting is published; the creator wallet holds nothing and CoinGecko counts the full 1B supply as circulating.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why it stands out.&lt;/strong&gt; A consumer product with a clear job and checkable results, losses included. Holders are unusually spread out: the ten largest non-pool wallets hold 13.7%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main risk.&lt;/strong&gt; It is not clear how $RAIN fits next to the new subscription. If a subscription already covers fees, the fee discount may matter less. Sports prediction markets also face rules that differ by country. $RAIN also hit its all-time low on snapshot day, about 95% below February's high.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best role: holding (watch-list).&lt;/strong&gt; The case is simple: if subscribers who trade heavily buy $RAIN for lower fees and priority, demand follows usage. That only holds once Rainmaker confirms how the token works under the subscription. Until then, I would not back a MYC liquidity pair.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  perpspad ($PERPSPAD): a launchpad where every coin is backed by a live perp
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://perpspad.fun" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;perpspad&lt;/a&gt; launches Solana coins on Meteora. Each coin's trading fees fund a leveraged perpetual position on Phoenix, and the profits buy back and burn supply or pay holders. Its &lt;a href="https://perpspad.fun/paper" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;whitepaper&lt;/a&gt; (v1.2, September 2026) says liquidity migrates into permanently locked pools. Every coin's fees send 15% to a shared treasury, and "every trade on every perpspad coin tightens $PERPSPAD supply." The chain backs up the burn claim. Supply was fixed at 1B at launch and is now 733.8M, so about 26.6% has been burned. Recent activity: a &lt;a href="https://x.com/MeteoraEco/status/2113639966270222492" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Meteora builder spotlight&lt;/a&gt; on 23 Oct named perpspad a demo-day winner, and a &lt;a href="https://x.com/PerpsPadfun/status/2114437872363122959" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;new AMZN pairing&lt;/a&gt; went live on 25 Oct.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why it stands out.&lt;/strong&gt; On-chain mechanics give launchpad coins a reason to exist after launch, and the platform token takes in fees from every coin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main risk.&lt;/strong&gt; The backing is leveraged, so positions can be liquidated, as the whitepaper says itself. A single keeper process also runs the whole system. The whitepaper still lists the master treasury address as "published at mainnet launch", and I could not find it. Rugcheck flags mutable metadata, two of the top-10 wallets could not be identified, and the price is about 93% below its 13 Sep high.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best role: collaboration, then a possible liquidity pair.&lt;/strong&gt; The whitepaper says creators can quote a coin in "almost any Solana token", with tokens the bonding curve can't take falling back to a DAMM v2 pool. A concrete test: a MYC-quoted perpspad launch, so that launch liquidity forms new MYC pairs. That matches what Mycelium is built to do. I have not verified whether $MYC, a Token-2022 mint, passes perpspad's quote-token checks. A direct MYC/PERPSPAD pool comes after that: it ties Mycelium to a token with a working burn, but also to a leveraged system with real liquidation risk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The one I left out
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AgenC ($AGENC) has a live agent marketplace on mainnet and shipped Core 0.19 in October. But one wallet holds 39% of supply, its market cap was within 8% of the $1M cap, and the protocol pays agents in SOL without a documented role for the token. It is worth watching, not allocating to.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Bottom line
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are proposals, not existing partnerships or commitments by Mycelium. My read: perpspad fits more naturally, because its pairing feature already works like Mycelium's liquidity connections. Rainmaker has the cleaner holder base, but its token story needs one clear answer from the team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Holder calculation.&lt;/strong&gt; Top-10 shares are of current supply, taken from each Rugcheck report's holder list. I checked owner programs with Solana RPC &lt;code&gt;getMultipleAccounts&lt;/code&gt; and matched pool vaults to Rugcheck's market data. Excluded as liquidity pools: $RAIN &lt;code&gt;Gpum8dkbKTXhwN9jk7LUch7BXjS7LTxZFwiu4J7jQ5p2&lt;/code&gt; (PumpSwap vault, 5.69%). $PERPSPAD &lt;code&gt;5H7CRcneLziuJkxKkmjW8PVhJd3pHR4U7eujNd7LbQtP&lt;/code&gt; (Meteora DAMM v2 vault, 7.71%) and &lt;code&gt;668VLAgH5ZhUVG9iqJUfSkotMc5HxtxNjTja6YLK4iQ5&lt;/code&gt; (Orca Whirlpool vault, 1.98%). No burn address appears in either top 20, because burns reduce supply instead of sitting in a wallet. Liquidity: each main pool is 100% locked per Rugcheck; the smaller Orca and DLMM positions are unlocked. Mint and freeze authority come back null for both tokens in Solana RPC &lt;code&gt;getAccountInfo&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Kintara at Five Months: What $KINS Unlocks Today, and What Is Still Coming</title>
      <dc:creator>Chioma Francis</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2026 16:29:38 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/chioma_fr_4b09/kintara-at-five-months-what-kins-unlocks-today-and-what-is-still-coming-2p96</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/chioma_fr_4b09/kintara-at-five-months-what-kins-unlocks-today-and-what-is-still-coming-2p96</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;AI-created for a Mycelium Finance bounty.&lt;/em&gt; Independent analysis, not affiliated with Kintara. Nothing here is investment advice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What Kintara is
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://kintara.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Kintara&lt;/a&gt; is a browser-based isometric MMO on Solana. Its docs describe a tile-map world where you gather wood, stone, coal and fish, fight monsters, complete quests and trade with other players. There is nothing to download. The official X account, &lt;a href="https://x.com/PlayKintara" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;@PlayKintara&lt;/a&gt;, lists the same $KINS mint in its bio as the game's own site config: &lt;code&gt;Tqj8yFmagrg7oorpQkVGYR52r96RFTamvWfth9bpump&lt;/code&gt;. Kintara &lt;a href="https://x.com/PlayKintara/status/2057876357221114027" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;opened on 22 May 2026&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is aimed at players who like slow, skill-grinding RPGs and want the items they earn to be tradable, plus Solana users curious about a token with a clear in-game job.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is live
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Free to start.&lt;/strong&gt; Since &lt;a href="https://kintara.com/news?id=35&amp;amp;kind=update" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;update v5.9&lt;/a&gt; (29 Aug 2026) anyone can play to total level 10, and you can log in with email, Google, Discord or X as well as a wallet.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The token gate.&lt;/strong&gt; Holding 1,000 $KINS opens the paid realms and lifts the level cap. Keeping that balance for 24 hours unlocks trading, marketplace selling and guild-bank deposits (&lt;a href="https://kintara.com/#docs" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;docs&lt;/a&gt;). At CoinGecko's price on 25 Oct 2026, 16:11 UTC ($0.0003157), 1,000 $KINS was worth about &lt;strong&gt;$0.32&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/kintara" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;CoinGecko&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Holder tiers.&lt;/strong&gt; Since &lt;a href="https://kintara.com/news?id=34&amp;amp;kind=update" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;v5.8&lt;/a&gt; (12 Aug), larger balances add XP boosts of +1% to +4% and perks such as an extra inventory row at 50,000 $KINS.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Token sinks.&lt;/strong&gt; Paid spinner spins cost $5 worth of $KINS, with 50% burned and 50% sent to the treasury. Gold-for-$KINS marketplace sales send 5% to the treasury (&lt;a href="https://kintara.com/#docs" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;docs&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Steady shipping.&lt;/strong&gt; The official feed lists 33 server updates between 13 May and 14 Sep. Season 2, "The Reaping", &lt;a href="https://x.com/PlayKintara/status/2112585139507384412" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;started on 20 Oct&lt;/a&gt;, and a &lt;a href="https://x.com/PlayKintara/status/2113697064068735475" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Halloween event runs until 2 Nov&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Players.&lt;/strong&gt; On 25 Oct at 16:11 UTC, the site's stats feed showed 406 players online and 69,584 accounts ever registered (&lt;a href="https://kintara.com/api/site/stats" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;kintara.com/api/site/stats&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is planned
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kintara does not publish a dated roadmap. The closest thing is a &lt;a href="https://x.com/PlayKintara/status/2113739785483223408" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;23 Oct "What's next" post&lt;/a&gt; promising tools that pay off, daily goals and streaks, cooking buffs and Frostmere. "Further out" it lists a new realm, a new skill and a higher level cap. None of these carry dates.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Tokenomics on-chain
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;$KINS launched on Pump.fun. The supply is 991.69M out of an original 1B (&lt;a href="https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Solana RPC&lt;/a&gt; &lt;code&gt;getTokenSupply&lt;/code&gt;; &lt;a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/kintara" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;CoinGecko&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;a href="https://rugcheck.xyz/tokens/Tqj8yFmagrg7oorpQkVGYR52r96RFTamvWfth9bpump" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Rugcheck&lt;/a&gt; shows the mint and freeze authorities revoked, metadata immutable, 90.5% of LP locked and 60,090 holders. The main &lt;a href="https://dexscreener.com/solana/f42tznkpavq1vucrl6ymhc6yqvpt84fwwgzbntv2wb3w" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;PumpSwap pool&lt;/a&gt; held $90.8K of liquidity against a $312K market cap (DexScreener, 25 Oct, 16:10 UTC). No team allocation or vesting schedule is published.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  One promising aspect
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kintara gives its token a working job inside a game that already runs. The free tier lets newcomers try the game before they buy anything. The 1,000 $KINS gate then turns committed players into holders, and burns and fees give the token somewhere to go.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  One open question
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://kintara.com/news?id=36&amp;amp;kind=update" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Update v6.0&lt;/a&gt; (14 Sep) added an in-game "$KINS custody layer": you deposit tokens and can wager them in minigames and five casino games. I could not find a published audit of that custody or wagering system, or any statement of which jurisdictions it serves. Market context also matters. CoinGecko showed $KINS down 74% over 30 days and about 98.6% below its 4 July all-time high of $0.02198 (25 Oct, 16:11 UTC).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Kintara and the Mycelium Strategy
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kintara is one of the projects in the &lt;a href="https://www.myceliumfinance.com/allocations" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Mycelium Strategy&lt;/a&gt;, which pairs $MYC liquidity with selected Solana tokens. On 25 Oct at 16:10 UTC, its MYC/KINS Raydium pool held $2,815.81, 9.0% of the Strategy's $31,230.68 total (&lt;a href="https://www.myceliumfinance.com/api/mycelium-allocation" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Mycelium allocation API&lt;/a&gt;).
