Radiant Becomes First Protocol to Deploy Dual Lending Infrastructure at Scale
Radiant Becomes First Protocol to Deploy Dual Lending Infrastructure at Scale
🔀 Radiant's dual approach
Radiant is implementing a dual lending infrastructure approach, becoming the first protocol to use both AAVE-based and Morpho contracts at scale.
Infrastructure breakdown:
- AAVE-based contracts - Powers Core markets with multi-asset shared pools
- Morpho contracts - Manages RIZ markets with isolated, fast-deploy capabilities
This architectural split leverages each platform's strengths: AAVE excels at shared pool efficiency, while Morpho's single-contract, parameter-driven design minimizes deployment overhead for isolated markets.
The dual approach allows Radiant to optimize for different market types rather than forcing one solution across all use cases.
Result: Radiant will run dual lending infrastructure: AAVE-based contracts → Core markets (multi-asset shared pools) Morpho contracts → RIZ markets (isolated, fast-deploy) First lending protocol to use both at scale.
Morpho Contracts Now Open for Commercial Use After January 2026
**Morpho's licensing restrictions have lifted**, marking a significant shift for DeFi infrastructure. **Key Timeline:** - Until Jan 1, 2026: Morpho contracts were not commercially usable - After Jan 1, 2026: Open for commercial deployment **Impact:** - Timing coincides with Radiant's infrastructure redesign requirements - Active loans on Morpho have surged from 244 in June 2024 to 7,213 by February 2025 - More DeFAI applications are being built on the Morpho protocol The licensing change enables broader commercial adoption of Morpho's lending infrastructure, potentially accelerating development of cross-chain money markets and DeFi applications.
🔧 Radiant Advances RIZ v2 Audit and Modular Capital Platform
Radiant has entered the audit phase for **RIZ v2 Phase 1**, marking the first production-scale implementation of this technology. **Key Developments:** - RIZ v2 Phase 1 currently undergoing security audit - First protocol to achieve this at production scale - RIZ Vaults fix in audit, deployment imminent - One-Click Strategies feature in final deployment phase **2026 Roadmap:** By year-end, Radiant plans to launch a comprehensive modular capital platform featuring: - Core markets - RIZ v2 - Fixed-rate products - Vaults - Guardian Fund integration Arbitrum core markets relaunched one week ago, showing consistent TVL growth as the protocol continues its recovery trajectory.
🔓 Radiant Unlocks Fixed-Rate Lending and Cross-Protocol Vaults
Radiant has announced several new capabilities for its omnichain money market: **Key Features:** - Fixed-rate lending options now available - Bond-like instruments designed for DAOs - Rapid market deployment (minutes instead of hours/days) - Cross-protocol vault functionality - Guardian protection extended across all protocols These updates build on Radiant's existing Guardian Fund, which protects eligible deposits for users who lock 15% DynamicLP (dLP). The fund's capital remains under DAO multisig control. The new features aim to provide more flexibility and security for users participating in Radiant's LayerZero-based lending protocol.
