#RadixMainnetIsLive $XRD

“The fallacy of scalability - why layer 2s won’t save crypto.” Dan called this years ago while the industry chased L2s! @VitalikButerin

Radix isn’t controlled by a single company or group of VCs. That makes it credible as an infrastructure. In global finance, neutrality isn’t optional; it’s required.

Vitalik finally acknowledged the failure of "L2 scaling"! As we successfully predicted in 2022. Four long years were wasted on a technological dead end! So what will ETH do now? Spend the next four years on another overly complex & over-engineered scaling solution ofcourse: 🧵 The latest pie-in-the-sky idea is the "ZK-EVM", which will take at least 4 to 5 years to fully implement before we see any significant scaling benefit What is even worse is that a ZK-EVM will keep ETH block times slow indefinitely, as slow block times are required under this plan due to the time it takes to compute a ZK proof! The "great" gas increase promised by Vitalik this year is unlikely to exceed another 50%. Which sounds like a lot until you realize competitors like SOL already have 134X the capacity right now... Bragging about low fees on ETH is not the flex most people think it is, either. The fees are low because all usage has already shifted to competing L1s & L2s! The truth is that no serious apps will build on ETH's L1 until there is real capacity. Which again will take many years. That means competing chains like SOL got a 4-year lead & will now get another 4-year lead on top of that. Giving an 8-year lead in total to build a bigger & better ecosystem & gain an even greater technological edge The celebration of yet another pivot back to L1 scaling in ETH is misplaced. If you read between the lines, this represents a massive failure of leadership & consequently the ETH network as a whole It is also surprising how quickly the entire community went from religiously supporting "L2 scaling" to now adopting the new narrative of "L1 scaling", almost overnight Especially considering how I was ridiculed & ostracized by the ETH community for being one of the earliest prominent critics of "L2 scaling". Something that also happened overnight. As I went from respected researcher & investor to a "phony" & "scammer" when I published my first ETH "L2 scaling" critique in 2022 Those same people who attacked & mocked us are parroting the same talking points we all did by 2023. Seriously makes you question the state of "groupthink" in the Ethereum ecosystem now I suppose it makes sense; without stakeholder governance, they have effectively embraced the idea of having a "dictatorship" by a small centralized cabal of "devs" over the rules of the protocol instead The ZK-EVM plan is particularly frustrating, as they could simply adopt one of the multiple viable scaling technologies that are already fully implemented & proven on other chains today. Instead, they are taking a path that objectively has terrible trade-offs Gaining capacity at the cost of speed & decentralization due to the extreme computational costs of builders. I covered these trade-offs in other pieces in more detail The deeper problem here is bad governance, which allows developers living in ivory towers to dictate the future of what was supposed to be the future of finance. It is no surprise, then, that we end up with overly complex solutions that are simply not competitive So, despite my overall critique over the years being validated by Vitalik himself. I remain critical as the same dysfunctional governance that led to the disastrous "L2 scaling" roadmap is now making a similar mistake by backing the over-engineered, centralizing & slow ZK-EVM roadmap As an early Ethereum supporter, I literally pointed my entire old mining farm to ETH within the first week of launch in 2015! Ofcourse, I want ETH to succeed; culturally, there is a lot of good here. Unfortunately, good intentions alone are not sufficient to win in this market. The future belongs to the chains that scale & can do so competitively The future of finance is not ETH & it has not been ETH for a long time now. The good news is that the market keeps innovating, routing around all of the failed experiments. So that eventually the cypherpunk crypto vision will come to fruition, that is at least inevitable We will make that dream come true with or without Ethereum!❤️

🚀 @radixdlt Hyperscale - Public Community Test lead by @timanrebel Today, the Radix community is running a public Hyperscale test – the realization of a vision first articulated by Dan Hughes. Dan believed this should be proven with the community, not behind closed doors. This test was always meant to be: •open •community-driven •transparently observable 📊 Current results exceed expectations, reaching ~700,000 SPS. Why SPS matters: •TPS measures transactions sent •SPS measures transactions executed and finalized SPS reflects real, usable throughput. Today’s test demonstrates: •community-led execution •verifiable performance •progress toward true decentralized scalability This moment honors the vision that Radix should scale with its community, not around it. 🕒 Live test in progress 📺 youtube.com/live/dbGeiDHe8… #Hyperscale #SPS #Web3 #doitfordan

Hyperscale just publicly proved itself at 500,000+ transactions per second! This is the future of Web3, and YOU built it with us.

🚀 Hyperscale public test announcement! We will run a public Hyperscale test on Saturday, Jan 31, 15:00 UTC. Goal: 500,000 transactions per second. There will be multiple dashboards to observe, but if you have decent technical skills, you can also participate! ⤵️ 🕒 Schedule: • Onboarding: 13:00 UTC • Test start: 15:00 UTC • Expected duration: ~2 hours (Once the test starts, joining late or receiving technical help will no longer be possible. Late arrivals can observe, so be on time!) We will run a test-run on Friday (12:00–17:00 UTC) to help participants prepare. Purpose: • download files • sync nodes • test setup • ask questions (No significant swaps will be executed during this session). Guides for Windows, macOS, and Linux are available at radixlabs.net, including instructions for installing Java and opening ports on your router.

DeFi has lost $10B+ to preventable hacks. Not because devs are careless, but because the underlying architecture is fundamentally broken. That's why Radix built an asset-oriented engine that makes these hacks impossible by design.

Here's what you can do on Radix right now: Trade on multiple DEXs with actual instant finality. Provide liquidity and earn fees. Lend stables or Bluechips. Borrow against your assets. Bridge from different chains. All while earning Season Points toward up to 1B XRD in rewards. 🙌

@timanrebel Any plans to run the test with the rust version developed by @flightofthefox ?

What I like the most, maybe, is that I haven't had to change anything to the network. Dan's work works. All my changes are to the way we send the transactions to Hyperscale.

Big news: The XRD <> eXRD Hyperlane route has officially expanded to @Base. It unlocks direct access for millions of users to buy and sell eXRD via @coinbase DEX using USDC. The on-ramp to Radix just got a whole lot faster.

Trading earns you points. Referrals earn you points while you sleep. 5% of everything your network earns, unlimited referrals, no caps. The more active your referrals are on Radix, the more you earn. Grab & share your link 👇

@timanrebel shared a final Hyperscale update before the holidays: • 350k TPS achieved on 64 shards, with peaks reaching 370k TPS • The planned 500k TPS test was limited by AWS node constraints (256-node cap) • Recent test setup changes suggest 500k TPS is within reach once infrastructure limits are addressed • The latest results indicate a significant expansion in achievable scalability The update closed with a holiday message encouraging everyone to take time off and recharge. Merry Christmas to the @radixdlt community 🎄 #Radix #Hyperscale #Web3

Why @radixdlt and @Aptos feel similar… but are built completely differently. Most modern blockchains try to go faster by processing many transactions at once (Aptos does this with parallel execution). It’s powerful - but the apps on top still have to write their own logic for tokens, safety, and how things interact. Radix chose another path. On Radix, things like tokens and accounts are built into the engine itself. They behave like real objects with rules the system guarantees - not code each app has to re-write. This means: • apps don’t reinvent the basics • whole categories of bugs simply can’t happen • DeFi pieces fit together more safely • and the architecture is designed to scale horizontally once Xi’an arrives, while apps still work together like they’re on one chain Same destination: better, safer crypto. Very different road to get there. #Crypto #DeFi #Innovation

Every cycle has one project nobody pays attention to until it’s too late. The kind that builds silently, without marketing noise, but is technically a whole level above the usual L1 competition. Right now there’s a network doing exactly that - already pushing past 100k TPS in internal tests, with a full validator-backed test coming soon. No hype, no shortcuts, just engineering. Not all innovation is loud. Some of it is quietly rewriting what’s possible.

🚀 Most chains are fighting their own limitations. A few pretend it’s fine. And then… there’s one chain quietly solving the problems everyone else avoids. While others patch and pray, @radixdlt delivers: • true linear scalability • real atomic composability • human-readable transactions • next-gen security audits (@zellic_io and @hackenclub with perfect scores) • predictable UX that normal people can actually use And now the final piece is coming into view #RadixHyperscale, the moment when theory becomes reality. When those numbers drop, the whole market will finally see what some of us already know: This isn’t “another L1.” It’s the blueprint for the future of Web3. 💎 @SuiNetwork @idOS_network #solana #CryptoSecurity

Radix’s asset-oriented Virtual Machine natively understands assets, transactions, & access control. Like a game engine for DeFi, this greatly improves developer productivity & confidence, making the asset-oriented Scrypto smart contract language possible.
