Today we are open sourcing the Radix code for what will eventually become the first version of the Radix Public Network (RPN-1) – this is by no means a finished work, but its part of our wider push to be more open with our community.  RPN-1 is the first of three versions we will be […]

Towards the end of 2019 we announced that Radix would no longer be launching a public network in Q4 2019, as we had intended to do. This decision was due to technical setbacks which, put simply, meant the ledger was not ready for public deployment.  Since announcing the delay, we have tightened our focus and […]

Radix’s journey started back in 2013 when our founder, Dan, saw both the promise and challenges of Bitcoin. For Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, to become a new global cash system Dan knew it needed to be able to scale to meet global demand. To see if this was possible Dan started running tests to see […]

Decentralized ledger protocols, be it Blockchain, DAGs or whatever form they take, are created to allow participation and sharing of value. Open source and the community around the technology forms a critical piece of a public ledger’s anti-fragility. We want to take this technological innovation to bring anyone, anywhere, friction-free access to the digital economy. […]

In our last post, we described how the Radix Engine, as part of the Radix technology stack, provides breakthrough buildability by taking an “asset-oriented” approach to DLT development, rather than today’s typical smart contracts. This approach is not just easier – but improves the quality of the result. An excellent example of this is in […]

As we discussed in a previous post, Radix is made of two layers: the Radix Engine and the Radix Ledger. The Radix Engine is the application layer for Radix – the part that developers directly interact with. While similar in concept to the virtual machine provided by smart contract platforms like Ethereum or Hyperledger, the […]

As we approach our open source release of the Radix Engine, it seemed a good time to put all of this in to context. How do all these technology pieces relate? How do they help developers build applications? How does this get us to the Radix vision of offering anyone anywhere friction-free access to the […]
