Support for $RUG token production, claims, and Genesis NFT utilities like daily $RUG yields of 5-11 tokens per NFT ends immediately. The Genesis NFTs will no longer generate rewards within the Rug Radio ecosystem.
Snapshot data will convert into $MYR community allocations at Myriad’s Token Generation Event (TGE), expected soon. Early estimates suggest Genesis NFT holders could receive around 26% of total $MYR supply as rewards, though exact ratios are pending confirmation.
$RUG and $RDAO governance token balances will also factor into allocations. Rug Radio is pivoting to amplify its community within Myriad’s high-signal prediction markets meta, where betting volumes have already exceeded $10M mostly sub-$50 bets settled in <1 minute.
This aligns with broader Web3 trends toward integrated ecosystems, potentially boosting NFT floor prices amid the shift. Utility token for Rug Radio ecosystem (e.g., DAO access via 1,800 $RUG ? 1 $RDAO swap; earned via NFTs, listening bounties). Contract.
he announcement has sparked bullish sentiment among holders, with posts highlighting it as a “big move” for long-term value in prediction markets. One holder noted their Genesis NFT appreciated ~$245 in a week, attributing it to the Myriad integration.

Myriad Markets is a decentralized prediction market platform built on Solana, emphasizing no-KYC access, fast settlements often under 1 minute for small bets, and integration with social media and content ecosystems like Decrypt and Rug Radio.
It allows users to speculate on real-world outcomes—ranging from crypto prices and elections to sports events and cultural happenings—by trading “shares” in binary or multi-outcome markets.
The platform uses a constant function market maker similar to automated market makers in DeFi to dynamically price shares, ensuring liquidity and reflecting crowd-sourced probabilities.
Bets can be placed with USDC for real-money stakes or points for low-risk practice and rewards. The core appeal lies in its simplicity: shares act like probabilistic bets, where the market price signals the community’s consensus on an event’s likelihood.
For instance, a share priced at $0.63 implies a 63% chance of the outcome occurring. This setup aggregates collective intelligence, often outperforming polls or experts in accuracy.
