Development Update
From Russell Harvey, CTO & Matthew Hine, Head of Product at Radix DLT.
A few points of interest taken from the team’s resolved items list:
- We continue to refine mempool management, such as having nodes automatically reject (before consensus) atoms that are clearly invalid or are known to conflict with existing committed state.
- Node-runner clients are now able to query the delegator status of the node (is it accepting delegated stake or not) and the total stake currently delegated to it.
- Since we carried much code over from the previous Tempo-based network, we did some clean-up of the atom structure design to better reflect the way we expect REv2 to use atoms in the future.
- We continue to add to our test and monitoring infrastructure, with our internal dashboard now including monitoring of Jenkins, our faucets, and metrics exporters.

Radix Report – 21st Jan
Piers Ridyard, 21st January 2021
OVERVIEW
Welcome to the first fortnightly Radix Report – a quick rundown on what has happened in the world of Radix in the last two weeks and a great way of staying up to date with the work the Radix DLT team is doing on getting the decentralised finance protocol up and running!
January is always an interesting time of year – a month where everyone starts to pick up the bits of their brain that were resting over Christmas and starts revving the engines again to get back into the race.
Radix ended 2020 with Drop 2 of the Radix Public Network development code, one of the single biggest deliveries of the first version of the public ledger and a key milestone in hitting our Q2 2021 mainnet target.
The first half of January has seen the development start to ramp up on Drop 3, with the dev team transitioning from just development of the core functionality to testing and hardening of the code. That doesn’t mean there isn’t still a lot to build, but it is a key point in the maturing of the codebase and moving towards a functional public network.
On the non-tech side, January has seen a lot of the groundwork covered for our first major listing, covered by Adam in the strategy section, as well as a lot of great coverage that the Radix community has been generating for the project.
We’ve also had a few great new hires since coming back after the holiday season, and so it is great to see the team back both refreshed and enlarged to take on the challenges ahead for 2021!

eXRD is now trading on Bitfinex
Radix Tokens (Jersey) Ltd, 21st January 2021
Today marks another milestone in the Radix journey, as the eXRD token has been listed on Bitfinex with USD/eXRD and BTC/eXRD trading pairs.
Since launching the eXRD token back in November, there has been a great deal of support for the token on Uniswap, with over $20m of liquidity and $12m of volume in the last 7 days. The growth in market size has also been accompanied by the eXRD market cap and token price increasing, resulting in a series of supply unlocks as per the price-based unlocking mechanism. The most recent unlock occurred on January 19th, 2021, when the 7-day simple moving average price of eXRD exceeded $0.13.
It has been fantastic to see eXRD do well on Uniswap and DeFi as a whole reaching an all-time high with over $25Bn of total value locked in the industry. However, there is still an important role played by centralised exchanges such as Bitfinex in supporting the long term health of the Radix token economy.
Bitfinex is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, consistently reaching over $1Bn in 24hr trading volume with a wide range of markets and pairs. For Radix, the BTC/eXRD pair also opens up a large new market that is not directly accessible on Ethereum only platforms like Uniswap.
As a centralised exchange, Bitfinex has a different fee structure compared to Uniswap that has benefits such as not requiring an Ethereum gas fee when making trades. As part of the Bitfinex listing, new Bitfinex accounts created using this link will benefit from a 6% rebate on trading fees over the next 30 days.
The new markets and trading options provided by the Bitfinex listing is an important step forward for eXRD, and there are more discussions on-going to provide additional markets for eXRD token holders that will facilitate further token distribution ahead of the Radix Public Network launch in Q2-2021.
Thank you for your continued support of Radix, and our mission to power the future global mass adoption of decentralised financed.

A Radix Review of 2020
Radix DLT, 19th January 2021
The DeFI space grew substantially over 2020 and made history by seeing the year out with a bang by recording a colossal US$15.442 Billion in Total Locked Value. And this phenomenal amount continues to grow as we speak, making it a fascinating time to be in DeFi. 2020 was also an incredibly busy year for Radix with a range of new strategic partnerships secured and great strides taken to develop our ecosystem. We look back at some of the year’s highlights and if you want more information, remember there is also a great deal of information on our blog, YouTube, and in the three whitepapers published on our website.

What is DeFi Composability and Why Does it Matter?
Matthew Hine, 19th January 2021
We often talk about how mainstream DeFi needs a DLT platform that not only provides high scalability, but also doesn’t ruin composability (or more specifically “atomic composability”). Providing both limitless scalability and frictionless atomic composability at the same time is one of Radix’s biggest technology breakthroughs that is designed to work with our unique form of secure DeFi smart contracts.
The importance of scalability is pretty easy to understand; it’s the ability to handle more transactions and process them quickly and cheaply. But what exactly is composability and why is it so necessary for DeFi?

How Radix Is Bringing Interoperability to DeFi
The Drum, Stephen Young, 18 January 2021

twitter share button facebook share button pinterest share button
A new era of financial innovation and inclusion is upon us. While the value of bitcoin soars and institutional capital floods into the market, numerous projects have emerged offering alternatives to the walled gardens of traditional banking. These open finance protocols – variously concerned with borrowing, lending, saving, staking and trading – witnessed stupendous growth in 2020, finishing the year with over $15 billion locked into their smart contracts.
While the first phase of DeFi was a resounding success, the potential for further growth is enormous. After all, if DeFi can make good on its promises, it could deliver accessible financial services to users all over the world, transforming itself from a niche technological tool into a genuinely global industry. The number of unbanked adults currently stands at 1.7 billion. As well as having a simpler onboarding process, DeFi, as it stands, gives users far higher yields than they can expect from regular bank accounts. This will essentially unlock billions of dollars of idle capital in low-interest bank accounts and provide full ownership over the custody and utilization of funds.

Can Radix Propel DeFi Into the Mainstream?Angela Scott-Briggs
TechBullion, Angela Scott-Briggs, January 18, 2021
DeFi, short for decentralized finance, is a breakthrough technology that allows users around the world to access financial services without the need for oversight or involvement from a third party. DeFi applications allow users to retain the value previously absorbed by a company, government, or regulating body, such as by redistributing transaction fees back to the end user that were previously taken as third party profits. The total value locked in DeFi has risen dramatically in the last 12 months, going from less than $1 billion to almost $23 billion, but there are still problems inherent to DeFi that prevent broader adoption, not least in terms of scalability and security. This is where Radix comes in.

Tamper-Proof DeFi: Radix Aims to Make Hacks a Thing of the Past
14 January 2021
Radix, the self-described “first layer 1 protocol specifically built to serve DeFi,” has already made a name for itself alongside scalability proposals from Ethereum 2.0, Polkadot, and Cosmos. Its unique breakthrough consensus design has proven the concept of scaling DeFi without breaking composability, challenging Visa-like speeds, and leading to a successful $12.7 million eXRD token sale, later exchangeable for native XRD tokens.

Why True Bitcoiners Should Support DLT and DeFi
Radix DLT, 12th January 2021
Bitcoin true believers, I’m here to humbly suggest that the future of Bitcoin lies outside the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin advocates, I’m here to ask you to help promote projects that don’t seem directly related to Bitcoin. Bitcoiners, I believe the most direct path to adoption of Bitcoin is through adoption of DLT and the emerging DeFi application space. Let me explain.

Solidity/EVM Compatibility for Radix?
Radix DLT, 6th January 2021
As you know if you’ve read our DeFi Whitepaper, Radix is taking a unique approach to smart contracts, with Components and Scrypto. These developer tools offer the same kind of power and flexibility that Ethereum does to create DeFi and other dApps, but work very differently from Solidity and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
A member of our community recently asked, “why not offer Solidity compatibility on Radix? Wouldn’t this attract developers and dApps to Radix faster than something new?” It’s a reasonable question; in fact, most of the recent Ethereum competitors are playing the compatibility game, often using not only Solidity, but more importantly the fundamental EVM-style computing model that underpins it on Ethereum.
