Radiant Capital

A new infrastructure model is emerging that uses **two distinct architectures** to serve different capital profiles without forcing either into a compromised position. The approach recognizes that capital allocators have fundamentally different needs: - **Conservative allocators** seek deep liquidity, established assets, and predictable behavior - **Growth-oriented allocators** want access to newer markets and higher yield potential with contained exposure Traditional single-architecture systems force both groups into the same risk environment, creating suboptimal outcomes for everyone involved. This dual-architecture model allows each capital type to operate in its appropriate risk environment while maintaining infrastructure efficiency. The design reflects how capital actually behaves in practice rather than imposing artificial constraints.

Radiant's RIZv2 architecture creates a clear separation between conservative and risk-tolerant capital allocation. **Key Features:** - **Risk containment**: Problems in RIZv2 markets remain isolated and don't affect core depositors - **Dual infrastructure**: Core markets serve blue-chip assets with shared liquidity, while RIZv2 offers isolated exposure to newer markets - **Capital efficiency**: Each market type attracts appropriate risk profiles without cross-subsidization The separation allows conservative allocators to access established assets with predictable behavior, while risk-tolerant users can pursue higher yields in contained environments.

Radiant operates two distinct contract architectures, each designed to handle different capital behaviors within the protocol. **Key Points:** - Two separate architectures manage capital with different profiles - Each system operates independently without compromising the other - The design reflects how capital actually moves and behaves in practice This architectural split isn't added complexity—it's infrastructure built around real capital dynamics. The dual system allows Radiant to optimize for different use cases while maintaining protocol integrity across its omnichain money market.

Coverage funds have a hard cap tied to their size. When claims exceed available funds, users receive proportional distributions rather than full coverage. **Key mechanics:** - Fund size is visible on-chain as an auditable parameter - No promises—just verifiable constraints - Proportional distribution when capacity is exceeded This approach provides bounded downside risk, which remains preferable to undefined exposure. All limits are transparent and enforced at the protocol level.

Radiant Capital has launched **gLP**, a yield-bearing token that serves dual purposes in its Guardian Fund system. **How it works:** - Depositing into the Guardian Fund mints gLP tokens - gLP earns from protocol revenue and native yield on reserve assets - In normal conditions, gLP holders earn passive income - If an exploit triggers remediation, gLP holders absorb losses proportionally to cover eligible users **Eligibility requirements:** - Depositors must lock 15% of their deposit value in dLP to qualify for automatic remediation - Distribution is pre-authorized and deterministic, requiring no manual intervention Unlike traditional safety modules where capital sits idle, gLP keeps reserves productive while providing protection. The system creates a direct relationship between protocol growth and depositor security—more gLP deposits strengthen reserves and increase coverage capacity. gLP is now live on Arbitrum.

**Guardian** introduces a novel approach to DeFi lending protection through an active on-chain risk market with explicit pricing mechanisms. **Key Features:** - Not a passive reserve fund or coverage promise - Functions as an **on-chain risk market** with transparent pricing on both sides - Provides protection when markets move beyond normal parameters This primitive represents a shift toward safer DeFi lending design, complementing the trend of clear parameters and isolated risk structures in on-chain lending protocols.

**Radiant Capital** has launched a new temp-check survey for **Convenience Class remediation** following the October hack. The Community Council is seeking feedback on: - **Revised phased payout schedule** - **Potential dust threshold adjustments** Key details: - Survey runs for **2 weeks** - Official Snapshot vote will follow after survey period - Part of ongoing remediation efforts for hack victims This follows previous community surveys exploring recovery options for affected users, with the assumption that no external bailout will occur. [**Take the survey**](https://community.radiant.capital/t/survey-107-phased-remediation-and-dust-considerations-for-the-convenience-class/2283/1) to help shape the remediation approach.

A new DAO proposal (RFP-46) aims to accelerate the vesting schedule for 200 million RDNT tokens in the Emissions Reserve. The proposal suggests: - Reducing vesting period from 3 to 2 years - Increasing token emissions to support higher APRs - Attracting more liquidity to Radiant Innovation Zone (RIZ) markets The goal is to expand liquidity and drive RIZ growth across multiple chains. Additionally, Super OETH, an innovative LST, is now available as a RIZ Market on Radiant: - Combines Ethereum staking rewards with Aerodrome incentives - Offers up to 4x leverage on Radiant - Currently earning up to 45% APY when maximally looped *Vote on the proposal:* [Snapshot link](https://snapshot.org/#/radiantcapital.eth/proposal/0xc9ded50bfb0aae1c957a94de44d65a2997694ac85703825f5ded16d43540bbb5)
