Radiant is repositioning itself as capital infrastructure rather than a growth-focused DeFi protocol.​ The shift targets institutional allocators—DAO treasuries and funds—deploying long-duration capital, not retail speculation.​

Key structural changes:

• Introduction of DeFi's first annual Community Council with transparent governance and execution authority
• Upcoming mechanism to align security funding with protocol growth
• Focus on deterministic loss handling and capital protection under stress

Radiant v3 represents a fundamental evolution toward allocator-ready infrastructure that prioritizes capital protection.​ The protocol is building credibility through structural improvements rather than marketing promises—a shift the team calls "DeFi 3.​0.​"

Starknet is expanding its gas-free infrastructure across multiple platforms:

• AVNU (DEX aggregator)
• Starknet Earn Portal (yield platform)
• Majority of Dojo-powered games

The network teases further acceleration of this initiative starting tomorrow.​ This builds on AVNU's open-source Paymaster tool launched in July 2025, which enables developers to sponsor user fees and accept any token as gas in under 5 minutes.​

The gas abstraction approach aims to remove friction from user onboarding by eliminating the need to hold native tokens for transaction fees.​
