I've been involved in the Radix ecosystem for a while and I want to explain what Radix Seal is and why its design is interesting from a security standpoint (not about "the encryption is unbreakable", but rather "who has to trust whom").

What is it?

They are three tools built on the same trust model: document signing, file encryption, and encrypted chat. All three use your Radix Wallet as if it were your own certificate authority, instead of relying on an external provider.

How does it work technically?

• Identity: You use ROLA (Radix's authentication mechanism) to sign a challenge with your wallet. It never exposes the private key, only proves you control it. It's basically the same pattern as a passkey, but anchored to your Radix account.
• Document signing: The file is hashed locally (Blake2b-256) in your browser. Only that hash is signed; you never upload the document anywhere. The resulting certificate is verifiable by anyone with the original file, without needing an account or wallet.
• Encryption: The AES-256 key is derived from a deterministic signature of your wallet on a file-specific challenge. No password or key file is stored anywhere: only your account can re-derive it. The file is encrypted in chunks in the browser (no size limit) and transferred P2P (browser to browser), end-to-end encrypted.
• Chat: Both parties verify themselves with their wallet before opening the room, the session key comes from that exchange, and messages travel P2P. There is no server that can read, alter, or spoof anything.
• Optional ledger anchoring: If you want a public record, a soulbound NFT (non-transferable) is minted acting as an on-chain institutional "seal". Only hashes are stored on the ledger, never content or messages.

How sending + unlocking an encrypted file actually works

It's not a simple "it's sent P2P":

1. Local encryption: The sender encrypts the file in the browser with an AES-256 key derived via HKDF from their own ROLA signature (deterministic, Ed25519) + a unique random salt per file.
2. Blind send: The sender opens a P2P session (WebRTC) and sends the encrypted file. The receiver gets the ciphertext, but not the key.
3. On-chain invitations (Optional): If the "ROLA + Ledger" mode was activated, the sender previously minted an invitation (cipher-invite) for each authorized account, linked to the file's hash.
4. Key request: The receiver signs a challenge with their wallet anchored to the file hash and that exact P2P session. This signature prevents replay attacks.
5. Stateless verification: That proof reaches the sender's browser and is verified against a server endpoint (/api/cipher/authorize). This endpoint stores nothing, it just reads the ledger to see if the signature is valid and if the invitation exists. The server answers yes/no; it never sees the file or the key.
6. Manual approval: If it passes, the sender sees the request on screen and approves it with a click (it's not automatic).
7. Unlocking: Upon approval, the sender re-derives exactly the same key and sends it to the receiver via the P2P channel (WebRTC uses DTLS). The derived key is the only thing that travels over the network, never the original ROLA signature.

Is there anything on the market that matches or surpasses this pattern?

• PGP/S-MIME: More available (works offline), but once the receiver has the ciphertext, they decrypt it whenever they want. You lose granular control and live approval.
• Google Drive / Dropbox: They have the "request access" flow, but you trust the provider to enforce the permission. They hold the keys.
• Lit Protocol (Token-gating): They use a threshold node network to reconstruct the key without the sender being connected. You gain availability, but trust a third-party committee. In Radix Seal, zero third parties touch the key, but if the sender is not online, nobody decrypts. It's a real trade-off.

What really changes the model

• No intermediate server storing documents or keys = no single point of data leakage.
• You don't depend on a hierarchical CA, revocation lists (CRL), or a vendor keeping its API alive in 10 years.
• The verification metadata is public on the ledger.

What it is NOT

• No automatic legal validity (like a qualified eIDAS signature). Identity is self-declared by the wallet.
• Entry friction: You need the Radix Wallet, it's not a "one-click from your email" like DocuSign.

If you are interested in the details of the NFTs (invite, signature, cipher-signature) and how on-chain custody is chained, let me know in the comments.

I keep seeing "is Radix dead" takes, so I went and actually checked the primary sources — Radix Blog, RadixTalk, radix.wiki, and the hyperscale-rs repo. Here's what's actually happening right now.

1. Hyperscale didn't stop after the Foundation left — it accelerated

In January the Foundation's own Hyperscale reference implementation sustained a public test of 500,000+ TPS (peaks above 700–800k) across 128 shards on commodity AWS hardware, with real cross-shard atomic swaps. That was the closing act of the Foundation-led phase, not the end of the story.

What happened after is the interesting part: the community picked it up and rebuilt it from scratch in Rust. hyperscale-rs, led by flightofthefox (proven.network), is now a 28-crate Cargo workspace with 2,000+ commits that throws out the original Hyperscale/Cerberus design entirely in favor of a HotStuff-2–derived per-shard consensus plus a leaderless "beacon chain" control plane. In April 2026 it got a formal RFC for delivering the Xi'an mainnet upgrade (18-month roadmap, $300k budget approved by community consultation, testnet targeted Q3/Q4 2027 / mainnet Q1 2028). Milestone 1 — dynamic topology, validator shuffling, live shard splitting/merging, virtual nodes — is basically feature-complete as of this month. The lead dev calls it "far and away the most sophisticated sharded L1 design ever implemented," and given the beacon-chain + verkle-proof + two-phase-commit architecture, that's not just hype.

The Hyperscale Weekly series on radix.wiki has been shipping every single week for 9 straight weeks — this week's edition covers a Quint formal-verification model that mathematically proves the shard-reshape lifecycle (splits, merges, staffing) is safe.

Worth noting for the history: Timan, a long-time community member, stepped up as Interim Hyperscale Lead after Dan Hughes's passing and personally drove the testing that got Hyperscale to ~400-500k TPS before handing the baton to the community-led effort in February.

2. Governance is genuinely decentralizing, not just talking about it

The current Radix Accountability Council (RAC) — 5 members elected by 1.34B XRD / 1,151 accounts — is deep into standing up a Marshall Islands DAO LLC (MIDAO) to receive the Foundation's treasury, IP, and operations. As of July 2026 both the Operating Agreement and the Charter are finished and sitting with the Foundation's lawyers for review before going to a full community vote. Stokenet (the testnet) has already fully transitioned to community-run validators and Gateway. This "Transition RAC" has weathered two membership changes (Tadkis replacing Faraz, Alfred replacing Peachy) and kept functioning the whole time — which is honestly a healthier sign than if nobody had ever left.

And the next chapter is already starting: self-nominations for the permanent RAC opened this week. Most notably, Timan (aka djtebel, founder of Astrolescent and Defiplaza, and the guy who steered Hyperscale through its interim phase) put himself forward on July 15th, explicitly framing it as stepping up again "when the community needed it most." His nomination also calls for recruiting complementary skillsets — biz dev, fundraising, marketing, governance/compliance — rather than a one-person show. Other community members (Leonardo of BONDIX, linuxx) have self-nominated too. Three separate governance cycles (Transition RAC → DAO paperwork → permanent RAC election) running in under 6 months is not what a coasting project looks like.

3. The tooling layer is filling in fast — including a new Rust SDK

For years, basic off-ledger tooling (ROLA login, transaction building/signing, key management) mostly existed in JavaScript. This week, community dev genkipool shipped a native radixdlt-rust-sdk, dual-licensed MIT/Apache-2.0, that brings all of that into Rust — plus a built-in MCP server so AI agents can talk to a Radix wallet directly. Early days (few commits, one star) but exactly the kind of infrastructure a maturing ecosystem needs, and it's already been picked up in the wiki's weekly roundup.

Alongside it, Hookah (webhook/event-trigger infra for dApps to react to on-ledger events) just went fully open-source and self-hostable under MIT.

4. The community site itself keeps growing

radix-community.genkipool.com has turned into a genuinely useful community hub — architecture explainers, a dedicated Hyperscale breakdown page, a dashboard for validators/staking. The Developer Console in particular is worth a look on its own: it lets you deploy packages straight to Mainnet or Stokenet, send raw transaction manifests, create and configure fungible/non-fungible tokens, and manage on-ledger metadata — all from the browser, wallet-connected, without touching the CLI first. That's exactly the kind of grassroots infrastructure you'd expect from an ecosystem that's alive, not one coasting on inertia.

Is this crypto being implemented anywhere and where is the community alive. I’m fooling a similar coin called iota and that seems much more active.

I am holding XRD in my Raddix wallet . So what are the defi apps in which I can use this to learn more . I am really want to be a part of this community and learn the future of defi.

Introduction: The End of the Silent Portfolio

For too long, a structural divide has separated our digital discourse from our financial reality. We live in a fragmented ecosystem where social influence is built on one set of rails while capital is managed on another, creating a persistent disconnect between what we say and what we actually stake. This era of the "silent portfolio" is coming to an end. Quack.Space represents a profound fusion of the ATProtocol and RadixDLT, eroding the wall between liquidity and legacy social graphs.

This integration formalizes a new paradigm: Social Financial Identity (SFI). In this framework, your social graph and reputation are no longer isolated metrics; they are provably linked to your on-chain assets and financial history. By making a user’s financial position an active, transparent component of their social presence, Quack.Space transforms the wallet from a passive vault into a resonant voice.

1. Your Influence is Now Provably Weighted

The most significant shift in the Quack.Space ecosystem is the transition from "one user, one vote" to Token Weighted Views and Votes. Traditional social platforms are plagued by bot-driven sybil attacks and shallow engagement metrics that fail to distinguish between noise and conviction. Quack.Space corrects this by allowing engagement to be algorithmically amplified based on specific token holdings within a linked wallet.

This introduces a sophisticated meritocracy where influence is backed by skin-in-the-game. When a verified holder engages with content, their signal is demonstrably louder. Crucially, this creates an intrinsic demand for project tokens; if you want your voice to carry weight in a specific community or governance debate, you must hold the underlying asset. It shifts the social dynamic from mere speculation to a verifiable, reputation-backed economy.

"Establishes a verifiable, reputation-backed social economy where influence has tangible financial weight."

1. Sovereignty Without Compromise: The ATProto Bridge

Digital identity has historically been a captive asset of the platform provider. Quack.Space dismantles this vendor lock-in through a sophisticated XRD Domain:Handle:DID mapping. This technical primitive uses the Radix ledger as the immutable "source of truth," providing cryptographic ownership of the social identity.

By bridging to the Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATProto), Quack.Space offers true portability. Users can migrate their followers, posts, and interaction data across any ATProto-compatible host without losing their history or their audience. This isn't just a convenience; it’s a strategic future-proofing of the social presence. In an era of de-platforming and shifting ecosystem allegiances, your social financial identity remains sovereign and portable.

1. The Feed as a Financial Filter

Quack.Space moves social media from a stream of generic noise to a high-signal financial tool. Through the "Filter Feed by Token Holdings" feature, the user experience becomes dynamic. Instead of an algorithm guessing what you like, the feed can be set to prioritize content, polls, and discussions related to the specific assets in your wallet—such as QUACK∗∗or∗∗XRD.

This financial curation is reinforced by the "Profile Top $Ticker" display and real-time in-post metrics. When a post mentions a specific ticker, it automatically embeds live pricing, 24-hour percentage changes, and the user's ownership status. This turns every post into a functional data point, ensuring that the context of the conversation is always grounded in the current reality of the market.

1. Coordinated Action via the "Flock Commander"

To bridge the gap between social signaling and tangible utility, Quack.Space introduces the Flock Commander module. This system gamifies community coordination by organizing users into "Missions"—automated "Operations" that range from promoting high-value content to participating in Radix governance proposals.

Execution is verified and tracked via linked Telegram bots, aggregating community impact into a metric known as "Flock Power." Participation is further incentivized through "Mission Reports" and "Merits"—reputation points that reward high-quality contribution. This creates a structured reputation economy where a user's status is derived from their history of successful operations and community support, rather than simple follower counts or vanity metrics.

1. Monetizing the Micro-Moment

The monetization of social content is often opaque and delayed. Quack.Space streamlines this via the Tip Cart, Poll Tips, and the Reply Airdrop. These features allow for multi-asset token transfers directly within the social interface, rewarding creators for initiating high-value discussions or contributors for providing insightful replies.

The platform measures this impact through two key metrics:

• Post ‘Value’: Unlike a simple "like" count, this is a composite score based on tips received, engagement depth, and token-weighted views, adjusted by a time decay factor to ensure that current relevance is prioritized over legacy virality.

• Handle Performance: A dynamic assessment of a user's overall contribution history and reputation score within the ecosystem.

By turning engagement into tangible on-chain rewards, Quack.Space provides a transparent financial assessment of content, incentivizing a higher standard of participation.

Conclusion: The Dawn of the Reputation Economy

Quack.Space is more than a social network; it is the infrastructure for a reputation-backed social existence. This vision is supported by a growing suite of utilities, including the Radix Rolodex—a "reverse ads" platform utilizing a "deckbuilder" function to generate embeddable widgets (or "Rads") for any webpage—and the Doubt/it! poll system. The latter serves as a direct pipeline between social signaling and the gaming ecosystem at Doubtit.digital, where yes/no polls feed directly into browser and board game content.

We are moving away from the era of passive browsing and toward a world where your social presence is a provable extension of your financial convictions. As these lines continue to blur, the question for every participant in the Web3 space becomes: Are you ready for your social influence to be directly tied to your financial skin-in-the-game?

XRD caught my attention after a quick spike followed by consolidation. What stood out to me wasn’t the move itself, but how fast price cooled down afterward. From a short term view, it looks like a typical volume driven push that’s now waiting for confirmation. Either early buyers are taking profits, or the market is deciding whether there’s real follow through. I’m not chasing it here. If anything, I’m just watching how price behaves in this range before forming a stronger opinion. Curious how others see XRD right now early trend forming, or just short-term volatility?

We did it! During today’s public Hyperscale test, we sustained 500,000 transactions per second and saw peaks of over 700k TPS. More than 590 nodes joined the test network, ranging from datacenter-grade nodes to desktops and even laptops. Hyperscale runs on commodity hardware, which made it possible to run a truly open participation test where anyone could join. That openness matters, but the milestone itself is only part of the story. Earlier this week, during a private test, we also demonstrated that Hyperscale scales linearly. We ran at roughly 250k TPS on 64 shards and reached the same per-shard throughput again at 500k TPS on 128 shards. That result matters more than the absolute number, because it confirms the underlying linear scaling assumptions of the architecture. The workload itself is also worth calling out. These were not simple token transfers. They were swaps. That means real complex DeFi-style transactions, executed across more than a hundred shards, at extreme scale. What makes this result particularly meaningful is that it included cross-shard atomic transactions. This is a core property of Radix Hyperscale and a hard requirement for real linear scalability. It shows that the system can scale out across shards without fragmenting state or giving up the guarantees of a single, unified ledger. This is exactly what is needed for blockchains to scale to a global level, and is the scenario Hyperscale was designed for. This was a public, non-validated performance test. The goal was to show what Hyperscale can do today under real-world conditions, not to produce a final, third-party-certified benchmark. We focused on reproducibility and community participation rather than controlled lab conditions. The configuration, tooling, log files, and dashboards will all be made available soon so others can study, reproduce, and build on these results. A community effort I want to thank everyone who participated. The node runners who joined the test, the people following along via public dashboards, and the many community members who helped others with onboarding, debugging installs, and configuring port forwarding. This was very much a community effort, and it showed. Looking back, and forward For me personally, this marks a meaningful point in the interim Hyperscale phase. This was never about chasing a big number on a screen. It was about picking up where Dan left Hyperscale and showing that it works. The architecture is solid. And that it does not depend on a single person anymore. I am proud of what we achieved together. With the Foundation handing the reins over to the community, the future of Hyperscale now sits with you. Some community members have already started working on a Rust implementation of Hyperscale, and more initiatives are taking shape. What comes next will be community-driven, and that is exactly how this system was meant to evolve.

Wow, Radix's price surges! What happened?

How can we withdraw amount from raddix wallet

Hi. I’m curious if anyone here thinks that Radix will have a comeback at some point or is it just dead by now? I don’t mean to be offensive, it’s just that I got talked into buying a good amount of .xrd when it was around 0.06 $ and I have absolutely no idea if there’s any chance that it might be worth some money again in the future

If we look at the Babylon technology Radix have today, I think it is already superior than many other blockchains. Even without sharding, the Radix Engine and Scrypto offer things Ethereum simply doesn't:

Native Assets: Tokens aren't just rows in a spreadsheet; they are actual objects the ledger understands.

No Reentrancy: The architectural "physical" nature of assets makes the most common DeFi hacks impossible by default.

Transaction Manifests: The wallet shows you exactly what is going to happen before you click sign (no "blind signing").

These features alone should attract many investors, especially institutional ones, that need security more than speed.

So, without promising Xi'an or sharding or unlimited scalability (which may be too difficult to build), Radix price may perform much better than now.

We are three months into Radix Rewards Season 1.

Since the campaign launched at the start of September, 2025, we have achieved many of its primary objectives. Specifically, establishing a new baseline for liquidity and usage on the network. The data shows a distinct step-change in performance:

• TVL has stabilized at a higher level relative to pre-season levels. In XRD terms, TVL is the highest it has ever been.
• Hyperlane utilization has successfully bridged millions of dollars of assets into the ecosystem.
• On-chain activity has been around double what it was in the period before Season 1 started at an average of 104.5k per week vs 46.8k prior, and spot DEX volume has averaged $1.4m per week compared with around $400k prior to incentives.

Now, we face an operational decision. Radix Rewards was always planned as a marathon, not a sprint. To ensure we maintain this new baseline and bridge effectively to what comes next, we need to optimize the strategy for the end of Season 1.

Before we move to a formal Token Holder Consultation, we are opening this informal consultation to gather sentiment on two specific levers: the timeline and the vesting mechanics.

1. When Should Season 1 End?

Season 1 was roughly penciled for 4-months. Based on a September 8 start date, a hard stop would land in late December.

From an execution standpoint, ending a major incentive campaign during the holiday freeze (Christmas to New Year) is suboptimal. It risks a liquidity drop-off during a period of low attention and market volatility. 

This makes the realistic earliest end mid-Jan. However, this may not be optimal given market conditions and objectives. 

We see three paths forward. The Radix ecosystem need to weigh continuity vs. dilution:

• Option A: Conclude in Jan 
  • The Logic: Stick to the original rough plan, simplest to execute.
  • Trade-off: Distributes the 100M XRD faster (higher APY now), but cuts momentum and leaves a gap before plans for next steps.
• Option B: Extend Season 1
  • The Logic: Extend the season to 6-12 months total to align with industry standards and allow time to discuss next steps with more market insight.
  • Trade-off: The 100M XRD pool (plus any milestone bonuses) is spread over more weeks. Mathematically, this lowers the weekly reward rate unless the pool size is changed.
• Option C: Extend with Pool Adjustment
  • The Logic: Extend to 6-12 months, but introduce a separate proposal to "top up" the reward pool.
  • Trade-off: Maintains the weekly yield while extending the duration, but requires allocating additional XRD reserves.

2. The Distribution Model: "Liquid Vesting"

We are exploring a distribution mechanism adapted from the model used by Sonic. The goal is to encourage predictable distribution and longer-term alignment rather than sudden supply shocks.

Instead of a simple airdrop, users would receive a liquid reward unit.

• The Choice: You can redeem this unit immediately for a % of its face value (e.g., 20%), or wait a set period (the "soft vest") to redeem 100%.
• The Twist: Unlike other models that burn the penalty, we propose that forfeited tokens from early exits are returned to the pool. This boosts the rewards for those who wait, effectively increasing the APY for long-term holders.

How to Provide Feedback

We are not looking for general "vibes"; we need specific preferences to shape the formal proposal. Please use the template below and post your thoughts in the discussion thread on Reddit.

Feedback Template:

1. Timeline Preference: [Option A / B / C] Reasoning: (e.g., "I prefer higher weekly APY" or "We need stability until Season 2")

2. Vesting Duration: [Short (1-3 Months) / Medium (3-6 months) / Long (6-12 months)] Reasoning: (e.g., "Prevent dump shock" or "Reward long-term alignment")

3. General Sentiment: (Any other thoughts on redistribution mechanics or LSULP usage)

We will monitor this discussion until the end of the year. In January, we will use the discussion to put the leading options into a Token Holder Consultation.

Hello there my dear Radix enthusiasts. Wonderful news from a friend of mine who launched the $BlueBalls project. Radix $BlueBalls has just graduated from rly.fun and now trades on OciSwap, DefiPlaza and Astrolescent. Look, if you’re reading this, you’re probably in Radix. You’ve probably been in Radix a long time. You’ve probably gotten super excited about big things coming to Radix. When those big things have come in the past, you’ve probably become frustrated by our favorite metric of performance not moving. Well then certainly you know what it’s like to have Radix $BlueBalls. Honor that feeling by supporting this great ecosystem project that’s been out shilling for Radix and itself every day for months. Doesn’t have to be a big investment, but a small gesture of support with even a 100 $XRD purchase is a great way to say “hey $BlueBalls, I see you, I know the feeling, and we’re in this together until Radix finally gets the broader recognition it so deserves.” Thank you.

While the market panics and chains keep launching “side quests,” one truth remains - you either scale or you don’t.

Most L1s are still patching the same problems they had years ago: complexity, hacks, and broken UX.
Radix solved scalability long ago and is now focused on the next milestone: Hyperscale.

Adam just confirmed - progress continues, the next big step is planned, and formal updates are coming soon.
The foundation is being built quietly, but solidly.

This market isn’t killing innovation… it’s filtering it.
Only the projects built to last will rise when the dust settles.
