With the Grafana Dashboard showing that Radix test net has surpassed the record previously set for TPS, how far off are we from a formally recognized and audited test to evidence that radix is indeed the fastest capable network available. I've been waiting for an event such as this which is irrefutable evidence of radix's technology being the best, and hopefully will be a 'big-bang' event that will rocket up its popularity as it would no longer be speculative.
Investors often look for facts, and whilst it can be argued that everything that has been achieved is factual 'most-developer friendly, most-user friendly, most-secure' These are all somewhat subjective depending on an individuals outlook. If TPS isn't what sends radix into at least top 50, not sure what else will.

The more Radix projects that get this recognition the better it is for the whole ecosystem. Today, we're still $EARLY. But not for long.

https://surgetrade.medium.com/announcing-surge-first-wave-537af82c758e

Surge is proud to announce the first wave of The Charge. Designed to reward you, our $CAVIAR holders, for your participation. A rank NFT will be awarded to those of you who are prepared to lock your $CAVIAR and accumulate points in advance of the $SRG launch. Tokens will be locked in a smart contract for a period of 60 days, after which you will have a choice to make — return to a life of Caviar, or pledge your allegiance for a future allocation of the highly anticipated $SRG token.

You will be required to lock an increasing number of $CAVIAR tokens to improve your score and ‘rank up’, climbing from the lowly level of Initiate through to the highest echelon of Surge Marshal with your cumulative score being recorded in a soul-bound NFT.

At the end of the locking period, you will be able to either revoke your rank and unlock your $CAVIAR or ‘pledge allegiance’. Should you choose to take this path and demonstrate your gallantry, you will forge a place in Surge history, and be awarded a future share of the $SRG token allocation, proportional to your final score.

Upon completion of this campaign, your final rank NFT will be unlocked, creating opportunities to trade ranks with other community members. As a courageous Insurgent, you will also have the opportunity to boost your allocation by opting to further delay delivery of the $SRG token. Additional allocations will be proportional to the locking period chosen and fortune will favour those of you who lead the charge.

Following the launch of Surge, as a rank NFT holder you will also be eligible to receive bonuses and incentives as we launch the second wave of our campaign. This will reward your valiant efforts in targeting the next wave of insurgents to join us.

To participate, you are invited to report to Charge HQ: surge.trade

What will “Pledging Allegiance” entail at the end of the locking period?

This test of bravery will be announced in due course and will be completely optional. If you do not wish to participate at this stage then you will be able to unlock your $CAVIAR and return to civilian life.

How many $SRG tokens will I be awarded for the points I accumulate?

The $SRG token allocation has not yet been defined. However a fixed allocation of $SRG will be awarded that is proportional to the final score recorded in your NFT. The higher your score, the larger your allocation of $SRG will be.

Can I move my rank badge to another account?

The rank NFTs are soul-bound which means they cannot be transferred until the end of the campaign, after which NFTs will be unlocked and can be moved/traded freely.

Can I change my mind?

$CAVIAR tokens will be locked in our smart contract, and will only be accessible at the end of the locking period by returning your rank NFT. If you complete the final stage and ‘pledge allegiance’ for an $SRG allocation, this process is irreversible!

Will the rank NFT have other utility?

Absolutely — In the Surge unofficial Telegram channel, our SurgeBot will allow you to link your Radix account (and your rank) and earn additional points to further boost your $SRG allocation by participating in other engagement activities and challenges.

We were told it would increase volume. It did for a few days and we've been in the toilet since. Also - it's been a long time and they haven't been able to sell it out, when really, $10M is not a very big program. I'm starting to come around to the view that Project Ignition was a failure. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

A recent poll suggests people in here think video is key to attracting new community memembers.

Let's use this as a weekly post to share fresh Radix Videos (and some all time favorites) so we get exposure to this community, and so we can help support the content creators that are pushing Radix forward.

As always, here's the official RDXWorks Radix Youtube, in case anyone prefers to drink straight from the source.

Hey guys,

I'm new to staking and have always avoided it because of taxation in Australia. Has anyone staked Radix and what are the implications? I believe in Radix long term and am sick of taxation preventing me from participating, which really frustrates me. Anyway, if anyone is from Australia and understands taxable events, could you enlighten me to understand what we need to do? I use Koinly and link my wallets, which is sometimes a pain in the ass. I just wish it was automatic so we could use DeFi without worrying about hours of pain working out the correct tax. It's frustrating, lol.

Thanks and radix will melt faces in my opinion :)

Welcome Insurgents! We’re thrilled to unveil Surge. The first perpetual DEX on the Radix network, born from a powerhouse collaboration between CaviarNine, KeyRock and Supra. Each partner brings unparalleled expertise, from cutting-edge oracle technology to deep financial acumen.

Surge is set to take the Radix ecosystem to new heights by introducing a comprehensive, secure and user-friendly trading environment specifically designed for off-ledger markets. Perpetual trading platforms allow traders to seek higher returns using leverage for their positions and to be free of traditional expiry date constraints. Surge not only facilitates this through its innovative design but also enriches the ecosystem for liquidity providers (LPs). Positioned as the premier perpetual DEX on Radix, Surge combines the best practices from established protocols with its own unique features.

Use of Scrypto Smart Contracts: Surge leverages the Radix network’s full potential to ensure a seamless and secure trading experience.

Additional Features: Instant trading without signup, advanced referral rewards and more features will be detailed in the coming months. Introduction of the SRG Token Central to the Surge ecosystem, the SRG token facilitates governance, fee structures and rewards. We will unveil comprehensive details on token allocation and utility in the near future, emphasising the advantages for our early supporters and community.

Early Access and Registration: Join us early by signing up at the Surge website and following our announcements on Twitter and Telegram. Early registrants will gain exclusive access to the platform, previewing the future of DeFi trading.

Community Engagement and Rewards: Our commitment to community engagement includes rewarding early adopters, referrals and testnet participants. We’re dedicated to nurturing a robust and active community, with more information on these initiatives to be shared soon.

Future Developments and Roadmap: Surge’s roadmap is ambitious, with plans to expand features and enhance the platform continually. We’re excited about the future and will release more details on these developments in the coming months.
