RFP-51: The New Radiant Capital Economic Paradigm is now live for review and vote.

This proposal is a bold blueprint to rebuild trust, reduce inflation, and future-proof Radiant’s economic engine. It is our coordinated response to the October 2024 exploit—and a proactive leap toward sustainable, competitive growth.

Key upgrades include:

🔸Dynamic Reserve Factors to align base yields with competitive market rates

🔸Dynamic Revenue Distribution to create sustainable lender and dLP rewards

🔸Weighted Emissions Allocation for efficient RDNT emissions

🔸Radiant Guardian Fund for electable contingency against prevailing DeFi risks

🔸qRDNT/qLP stream phase-out and reallocation to remediation, the Guardian Fund and liquidity

🔸Treasury diversification for financial resilience but without RDNT sell pressure

🧩 Every component is synergistic and contributes to the overall economic flywheel, reducing inflation, supporting real yields, reducing waste, and reinforcing Radiant’s competitiveness.

Reserve Factors Updated!

As part of the ongoing reserve factor optimization across all chains, a new batch of assets has been adjusted:

@arbitrum: USDC, WBTC, WETH

@BNBCHAIN: USDT, WBNB, BTCB

With this latest update, all markets on ARB and BNB now feature improved reserve factors—allocating a greater share of borrower interest fees to depositors and making Radiant even more competitive and efficient!

New Security Upgrade ⚒️ — Limited Allowances Are Now Live

Radiant has now implemented limited allowances for asset approvals across the platform — a meaningful security improvement aimed at further protecting users during interactions with smart contracts.

While unlimited approvals were once standard practice (especially when gas costs on Ethereum made individual approvals inefficient), the ecosystem and its accepted risks have evolved.

Following past events and lessons learned, this upgrade reflects Radiant’s continued commitment to improving user protection and adapting security measures accordingly.

This change ensures that users maintain greater control over their funds and that asset permissions are more restrictive by default.

Security is a continuous effort — and this is another step forward.

Final Review Period is Live 🔍

The balance checker has been active since Feb 2, giving users time to confirm their data. That window is now closing.

📆 Deadline: Wednesday, April 30, 2025

After that, numbers will be finalized for the Remediation Plan.

Check your balance now:

CIC is now live on @base 🎉

RDNT emissions have resumed on Base following the successful migration from Merkl (Angle) to the ChefIncentivesController (CIC).

Users can now track RDNT rewards in real-time, with previous APR display bugs fixed 🔧

No action needed—just vest rewards anytime via the "Manage" page.

Thanks to everyone in the community for your patience and support as Radiant DAO contributors continue to improve and optimize the protocol! Stay tuned for more updates.

RIZ Vaults - Important Update

Following the recent vault redeployment and a thorough review, the decision has been made to rework the RIZ vaults in the future.

This decision is based on the vaults’ limited utility in their current state. With only a few active RIZ markets, there’s little incentive for users to deposit into the vaults beyond an attractive APR. However, the current APY remains low due to the small number of RIZ markets, making RDNT emissions the only use-case.

Due to the vaults' infrastructure, these RDNT emissions were being distributed to depositors without enforcing dLP eligibility requirements, allowing anyone who deposited to receive them. This approach was deemed inefficient, unsustainable, and unfair to those who lock dLP.

Current Challenges:

🔻No requirement for a dLP lock
🔻High maintenance costs
🔻Limited number of RIZ markets
🔻Bot allocates assets based on fixed percentages

Planned Improvements:

🔺RIZ Vaults will actively seek the highest yields within RIZ Markets
🔺Streamlined and automated maintenance
🔺Adding dLP lock requirement

The feature is expected to be improved in the future and release as RIZ Vault 2.0, while the current focus will shift to expanding RIZ market listings. Until then, the vaults will remain available but will no longer be displayed in the UI.

Users with vault deposits affected by the October incident can now use the latest checker to verify accuracy (Balance Checker: https://t.co/SyP1cEzZgl). A detailed post-mortem covering this process will be shared soon.

Thank you for your continued support and patience.

DAO Vote Live: RFP-50: Remediation Funding Methods for Depositors

After an agreeable and supportive 2-week ideation phase in the community forum, the proposal is now live for a 2-week governance vote. It seeks to ratify a series of treasury actions aimed at generating and securing additional funds to support the ongoing remediation plan and improving Radiant's prospects of receiving assistance from partners and regaining market adoption. These measures are designed to remediate users as effectively, efficiently, and creatively as can be accomplished, while rebuilding for true sustainability and differentiated market appeal.
