According to PANews, Dan Hughes, the founder and original architect of Radix Network, passed away unexpectedly at home on Sunday night due to natural causes. Hughes was a long-time advocate for decentralized ledger technology innovation and was recognized as a visionary builder and problem solver. He played a significant role in advancing core technologies such as Cerberus and the Radix engine, earning respect within the community for his authenticity, humility, and clear vision.
The Radix team expressed that while Hughes' passing is a significant loss, the foundation and vision he established will continue to drive the project forward. To ensure a stable transition, Chief Strategy Officer Adam Simmons and Chief Financial Officer Jonathan Day will join current CEO Andy Jarrett as directors of the Radix Foundation. The team has encouraged the community to pay their respects on Radix's Telegram or Discord channels and announced a temporary pause in public discussions to focus on operational stability.
