Radiant Capital has opened nominations for its 2026 Annual Community Council Election, following the DAO governance structure ratified in February 2025. **Key Details:** - Nominations are open for 30 days - Both self-nominations and community nominations are accepted - Elections will be followed by structured review and Snapshot ratification **Council Responsibilities:** Council members will shape proposals, oversee implementation, and represent community interests during a critical growth phase. The protocol has recovered from a previous security incident, rebuilding infrastructure and launching the Guardian Fund while growing TVL from ~$3M to sustained levels above $15M. The next Council will guide the protocol through its most consequential growth phase, making this an active stewardship role rather than symbolic governance.

**RIZ v1 Results & Limitations** Radiant's isolated markets proved the concept works but revealed critical scaling issues: - Each market requires 4-5 smart contracts - Deployment takes days to weeks with extensive configuration - Manual parameter tracking and complex liquidity monitoring create high overhead - Result: only 4-6 markets per chain with slow listings and high friction **v2 Solution Coming** A complete infrastructure rebuild is underway to address these bottlenecks. The redesign targets 10x faster deployment and cleaner isolation - not just surface-level improvements. Details on the new architecture will be shared next week.
