Rift
Rift (RIFT) — a reference card for a crypto project: what the product does and how verifiable the project’s key claims are; also — alignment with the Decentralized AI thesis (DecAI Fit).
Rift — a Trading / DeFi project: a mobile app/interface for trading and strategies (borrow against Bitcoin, perps, automated strategies — per the docs). The official documentation describes the $RIFT token (distribution/vesting and a list of Solana wallet addresses), and the token mint is listed in links_* via Solscan.
Disclaimer
Important: this page is a reference overview of the project. Within DecAIHub, we separately record a verification based on open sources within the AI thesis (what is real AI/onchain/why a token, and which sources this is based on).
This is not financial advice and not a recommendation to buy/sell/hold any asset. We do not assess price, returns, or entry/exit timing.
Conclusions are based on publicly available materials found as of the verification date. The absence of confirmation does not imply the absence of the technology.
TL;DR (for readers who are not into AI)
- What it is: a mobile trading app/interface (swap/perps/strategies) as described in the docs.
- Who it’s for: traders/users who need a “data‑driven” interface and strategies.
- Why onchain/token: the $RIFT token is described in the docs (distribution + wallets), but the specific protocol utility of the token is not disclosed in the extracted Tier‑1.
How it works (very briefly)
- The user does: uses the Rift mobile app/interface for trading and strategies (docs).
- The system does: provides analysis of indicators/signals and access to strategies (docs).
- The user gets: trading tools “in a data‑driven way” (claim; docs).
- Where the blockchain is: the interface “may facilitate interaction with third‑party blockchain protocols”, and the token docs publish the Solana addresses of the distribution wallets (Terms + Wallet Tracker).
- Token role (if any): in the extracted Tier‑1, no description was found that $RIFT is mandatory for payment/access/staking within the app.

General project overview
Rift describes itself as a “mobile trading app” that helps users act in a more “data‑driven” way: analyze indicators before a swap, use perps based on claimed “market signals”, and use automated strategies (docs). In the legal documents, the interface is described as a product of Faraway Inc. that may facilitate interaction with third‑party blockchain protocols, including the “Rift Protocol” (Terms).
Features/modules
- Mobile trading app (claim): trading from a phone (docs overview).
- Indicator analytics (claim): “analyze market indicators” before a swap (docs overview).
- Perps and signals (claim): “trade perps based on proven market signals” (docs overview).
- Automated strategies: strategies that users can publish/use (Terms: Creator Program/Strategies).
Typical scenarios
- Scenario 1: the user uses the interface → analyzes tokens/indicators → makes a swap/trade (claim; docs).
- Scenario 2: the user uses automated strategies → receives the strategy result/returns (we do not assess; the Terms describe risks and liability).
- Scenario 3: a creator publishes a Strategy → other users use it via the interface (Terms).
Getting started (wallet/network)
- What you need: the Rift app/interface (docs/Terms); a compatible self‑custodial wallet (Terms).
- Network/chain: the interface works with third‑party blockchain protocols (Terms). Per the token docs, the wallet addresses are in Solana format.
- Fees: fees may be charged for a subscription to the interface (Terms, Subscriptions), and network fees depend on the blockchains used (Terms).
Architecture/tech (non‑AI)
- Components: mobile app/interface (offchain) + interaction with third‑party protocols/networks (Terms) + token docs/wallets (docs token pages).
- Participant roles: interface users; strategy creators; the operator Faraway Inc.
- Where logic runs: interface/strategies/subscriptions — offchain; the onchain part depends on external protocols; the onchain artifacts of the $RIFT token are not confirmed in the extracted Tier‑1 via an explorer page.
- Dependencies: third‑party blockchains/wallets; Faraway infrastructure.
Token/economics (expanded, no forecasts)
- Token utility: — (in the extracted Tier‑1 token pages there is no description that $RIFT is needed for payment/access/incentives within the interface).
- Protocol necessity drivers: —.
- Who pays fees: the Terms describe subscription fees for the interface (USD); network fees depend on the selected networks.
- Where fees go: — (apart from network fees).
- Issuance/burn: — (not extracted).
- Security/incentive mechanisms: —.
- Distribution and token issuance schedule: the tokenomics describes the distribution by category and vesting/cliffs (Tokenomics).
- Treasury: the wallet tracker publishes the treasury/allocation addresses (Wallet Tracker).
Governance
- Who makes decisions: Faraway Inc. (legal docs).
- How protocol parameters change: —.
- Where decisions are discussed/made: —.
- Keys/multisig: —.
Security and incidents
- Audits: —.
- Bug bounty: —.
- Incidents: —.
- Threat model: strategy risks (the Terms emphasize the absence of guarantees); third‑party protocol risks; absence of public onchain artifacts of the token/app contracts in the extracted Tier‑1.
Project status and timeline
- Current status: the docs publish an overview and legal documents; the project is collecting a waitlist/early access (docs overview).
- Key releases/milestones: —.
- Roadmap: —.
Ecosystem/integrations
- Integrations: self‑custodial wallets (Terms); third‑party blockchain protocols (Terms).
- Partners: incubated by Faraway and backed by a16z/Sequoia/Lightspeed (claim; docs overview).
- Where it’s actually used: — (there are no public cases/integrations in the extracted Tier‑1).
AI component of the project
- What is real AI here? in the extracted Tier‑1 docs there is no description of AI models/LLM/ML; the project uses “intelligent/data‑driven” language, but without technical details.
- What is truly onchain? the interface interacts with third‑party blockchains (Terms); the token docs publish the Solana addresses of the distribution wallets, and the token mint is listed in
links_*via Solscan. - Why is a token needed? in the extracted Tier‑1 there is no description of a mandatory utility of the $RIFT token.
- Red flags (based on the information found): AI‑washing (“AI” appears in the name/ticker, but the AI component is not described); token‑washing (the utility is not disclosed); dependence on third‑party protocols and the offchain interface.

AI reality
AI_0 — AI intent (Tier‑1 roadmap) (1/0)

- Conflict note (if any): —
AI_2 — demos/examples (1/0)
- AI_2 (decision): 0
- Claim (one line): a demo of the AI component is absent, since the AI component is not described.
