Radiant Foundation: Q3 Results and Q4 Outlook
As we moved into the final quarter of 2024, the Radiant Blockchain Foundation is thrilled to reflect on the incredible strides made over the last few months. Thanks to our dedicated community, tireless contributors, and our vision for decentralized growth, we’ve hit key milestones that set the stage for continued success and innovation.
Q3 Highlights
1. Incorporation of the Foundation in the U.S.
In a monumental step toward legitimacy and global outreach, the Radiant Foundation officially incorporated in the state of Texas. This move strengthens our foundation’s commitment to ensuring transparency, legality, and operational efficiency for the long-term growth of Radiant.
2. Hackathon Vote Passed and Funded by the Community
Our community-driven Hackathon vote was a resounding success! The Radiant Community voted to fund a 10 million RXD prize pool, bringing together developers from around the world to innovate and build on our blockchain. With generous donations of Tangem wallets to reward top projects, the stage is set for an exciting event filled with creativity and competition.
3. Ambassador Program Vote Passed
Another exciting community-driven initiative — the Radiant Ambassador Program — passed by a wide margin! This program is designed to engage passionate members of our community to serve as global advocates for Radiant. From hosting local events to expanding Radiant’s social media presence, our ambassadors will help carry the torch as we grow.
4. Market Making with Vortex Launched
We initiated market-making efforts with Vortex, stabilizing our liquidity and ensuring smoother transactions across exchanges. This is a significant step in bolstering Radiant’s presence in global markets and providing greater confidence for both new and existing investors.
5. The Entity’s Identity Revealed
In a thrilling development, the mysterious Entity’s identity was finally discovered, shedding light on key players behind pivotal moments in Radiant’s history. This revelation not only brought clarity but also underscored the strength and resilience of our community.
6. DragonBall and Iceriver ASIC Releases
Both DragonBall and Iceriver made waves by releasing highly anticipated ASICs designed specifically for Radiant, which sold out within a couple of days. These hardware advances represent a significant leap in mining technology for the Radiant network. Additionally, DragonBall made a generous contribution to the project’s funding, further demonstrating their commitment to Radiant’s success.
Looking Forward to Q4
As we head into Q4, the Radiant Foundation remains laser-focused on achieving even greater milestones:
1. Hackathon Launched
With the groundwork laid in Q3, the Hackathon officially kicks off this quarter! We are eager to see the innovative projects and applications that emerge from the creative minds in our community. Developers will compete across a range of categories, contributing to the ever-expanding Radiant ecosystem.
2. New Exchange Listings
This quarter, we are embarking on a fundraising effort to secure a new exchange listing. Another listing will mark a new era for Radiant, providing greater liquidity, accessibility, and visibility on the global stage. Our goal is to elevate Radiant to the highest tier of blockchain networks.
3. Customized Radiant Tangem Wallets
We are exploring the possibility of offering customized Radiant Tangem wallets. These hardware wallets will provide an extra layer of security for our users while showcasing Radiant’s unique branding and offering a tangible connection to our blockchain.
4. Node Provider Integrations
As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing our infrastructure, we plan to integrate with professional node providers. This will streamline the process for users who wish to operate nodes, making it easier and more efficient to participate in the Radiant network.
5. Ambassador Program Launch
With the program vote passed, the official launch of the Radiant Ambassador Program is slated for this quarter. We are excited to see our ambassadors start spreading the word about Radiant, educating new users, and fostering community engagement across the globe.
6. Concluding the Hackathon and Expanding Partnerships
As the Hackathon concludes, we will look to partner with professional node providers, building lasting relationships to ensure Radiant’s infrastructure remains robust and scalable.
7. Node and Electron software updates
Adding more functional opcodes and RXD20/Glyph support to the Electron wallet are top priorities to continue the evolution of Radiant’s peer to peer digital asset system.
Q4 & Beyond
1. RXD20 & Glyph Minable token enhancements
The RXD20 standard and Glyph protocol are ushering in a new era of flexibility and innovation on the Radiant blockchain. One of the key focuses for this quarter is to enhance the capabilities of minable tokens. By integrating advanced scripting with RXD20, tokens can now leverage customizable tokenomics such as variable mining difficulty, reward schedules, and dynamic governance models. This will not only open the door for creative applications, like game tokens or incentive systems, but also further differentiate Radiant as a leader in decentralized token innovation. With Glyph’s ability to create fully programmable tokens, the community can expect tokens that cater to diverse use cases, from DeFi to NFTs.
2. Gravity cross chain atomic swaps- Bitcoin L2 realized
The Gravity project aims to unlock seamless interoperability between Radiant and other blockchains, starting with Bitcoin. Leveraging cross-chain atomic swaps, Gravity will allow users to exchange assets between Radiant and Bitcoin without needing a centralized exchange. By bringing Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions into the mix, Gravity offers a secure, decentralized mechanism for swapping assets, with the potential to open up liquidity and expand Radiant’s utility across multiple blockchains. This development is a significant step toward making Radiant part of the broader blockchain ecosystem, empowering users to move value freely between chains.
3. Radiant token Markets
The Radiant ecosystem is experiencing exponential growth in token markets, driven by community demand and project development. As more RXD20 tokens and Glyph-based assets are created, the need for vibrant and efficient markets becomes paramount. This quarter, the focus will be on deepening liquidity and expanding token markets across decentralized platforms. Radiant’s commitment to market-making, coupled with efforts to secure Tier 1 exchange listings, will provide more trading opportunities and accessibility for users. The upcoming partnership with professional liquidity providers will enhance the overall market depth and price stability for Radiant’s native tokens and those built on its network.
4. Photonic Wallet and ElectrumX
The Photonic Wallet is set to revolutionize how users interact with the Radiant network. Designed with ease of use in mind, this lightweight wallet integrates with ElectrumX for fast, secure transactions, making it an ideal choice for both novice and advanced users. The Photonic Wallet will support advanced functionalities like multi-signature wallets, hardware wallet integration, and instant address generation for enhanced privacy. By upgrading ElectrumX servers, users can experience lower latency and faster transaction confirmation times, which are crucial for everyday use and adoption of Radiant as a payment solution.
5. Wave — DNS records
Wave is Radiant’s decentralized DNS service, designed to provide a trustless and censorship-resistant way to manage domain names. By utilizing the blockchain for DNS records, Wave ensures that domain ownership and control are fully decentralized, preventing third-party interference. This service will be pivotal for decentralized applications (dApps) and web services that require reliable, tamper-proof domain management. Wave not only empowers users to register and manage domain names on a decentralized ledger but also integrates seamlessly with traditional DNS infrastructure, allowing easy adoption by users looking for security and sovereignty in managing their online identities.
