Radix

Radix empowers asset issuers and institutional partners with a purpose-built Layer-1 protocol for DeFi that offers linear scalability, native assets, composable smart contracts, native MFA, and onchain identity.

Radix is the only full-stack Layer-1 built from the ground up for digital assets and DeFi. For asset issuers, fintechs, and institutional partners, Radix delivers the foundation that today’s fragmented blockchain landscape lacks: scalability, security, and seamless user and developer experiences.

At its core, Radix is designed for real finance onchain. Cerberus, our breakthrough consensus protocol, achieves linear scalability while maintaining atomic composability across the entire network. Stablecoins, tokenized funds, and DeFi applications can all interact as if they were on a single chain. No bridges, no fragmentation, no risk of lost liquidity.

The Radix Engine and Scrypto (our Rust-based language) make assets first-class citizens, embedding secure token logic at the protocol level. That means that asset issuers and partners can launch and integrate confidently without worrying about common DeFi exploits or upgrade failures.

For users and institutions, the Radix Wallet delivers the first truly human-readable DeFi experience. Every transaction is clear and secure, with native multi-factor authentication (MFA) and hardware wallet support through Arculus and Ledger integrations. No blind signing, no seed phrases, just intuitive, enterprise-grade security.

Radix also brings onchain identity and smart accounts natively to the protocol, enabling advanced access control, recovery, and compliance.

With predictable scalability, integrated security, and built-in user protection, Radix creates a unified environment where issuers and their partners can issue, manage, and move digital assets safely and efficiently.

Backed by over a decade of R&D, Radix is built as the foundation for the next era of onchain finance: scalable, composable, and truly user-ready.

Use Cases

Asset Issuance & Settlement

Radix provides a scalable, asset-oriented ledger ideal for launching and managing RWAs, stablecoins, and any other crypto asset. Issuers can define minting, redemption, and compliance logic directly in Scrypto, ensuring predictable and secure behavior without fragile custom contracts. With Cerberus consensus and Radix Engine delivering atomic composability across the network, assets integrate seamlessly with wallets, exchanges, and payment apps on a single unified layer.

Tokenized Funds & Asset Management

Asset managers can use Radix to create onchain funds, portfolios, and structured products with transparent, automated rules. The Radix Engine enforces ownership and transfer logic at the protocol level, preventing unauthorized asset movements. Modular Scrypto components simplify fund issuance, performance tracking, and distribution. Built-in royalties and composability allow service providers, brokers, and custodians to interact without fragmented liquidity.

Institutional DeFi & Liquidity Markets

Radix enables institutions to access or provide onchain liquidity with deterministic execution and transparent risk control. Protocol-level asset behavior eliminates the exploits common in existing DeFi protocols. Because all interactions are atomically composable, complex DeFi operations such as swaps, collateralization, or yield routing can occur within a single, auditable transaction. This architecture provides confidence for regulated entities to deploy real liquidity at scale in both open and permissioned applications on a decentralized network.

Real-World Asset (RWA) Tokenization

With Radix’s asset-first design, tokenizing real-world assets like real estate, commodities, or invoices becomes simpler and safer. Ownership, dividends, and compliance rules can be embedded directly into each asset’s code. Cerberus ensures cross-asset interactions (e.g., collateral swaps or secondary market trades) settle atomically and instantly. Combined with Radix Wallet’s MFA security and human-readable transactions, enterprises gain the trust and transparency needed for mainstream adoption.

Secure Web3 Payments & Identity

Radix integrates digital identity and MFA at the protocol level, enabling secure, user-friendly payments and services. Businesses can build payment rails that feel like Web2, password-free logins, and recoverable accounts while retaining full onchain settlement. Users verify every transaction in plain language through the Radix Wallet or hardware partners like Ledger and Arculus. For merchants, stablecoin or token payments can settle instantly without custodial risk or complex bridges.

DeFi dApp Development

Scrypto and the Radix Engine allow developers to build modular, composable dApps where assets behave safely by default. DeFi protocols, wallets, and institutional tools can all integrate seamlessly without rewriting or re-auditing code for interoperability. This dramatically reduces development cost and risk. Combined with Cerberus scalability, dApps on Radix can grow to millions of users without congestion or fragmentation, creating a unified ecosystem ready for mass adoption.
