Why Radiant?

Purpose-built for digital assets with unique capabilities no other UTXO chain offers.

🔗

Induction Proofs

Cryptographically prove token lineage and state transitions on-chain without any external indexer. Assets are validated natively by the consensus layer using reference-based or TxId v3 preimage induction.

📦

Glyph Token Standard

Create fungible tokens (FTs), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized-mint (dMint) tokens with the Glyph protocol — CBOR-encoded, on-chain metadata with container hierarchies and WAVE naming.

⚡

Performance at Scale

256 MB blocks today, designed for 10 GB+. Over 4,000 transactions per second with instant 0-conf for everyday payments. Architecture targets 500,000+ TPS at scale.

📜

Turing-Complete Scripts

32 MB script size, 32 million operations per script, 200+ opcodes including SHA256, BLAKE3, K12, ECDSA, Schnorr, and bitwise shifts. Full smart contract capability on a UTXO model.

⚙️

UTXO + References

Extends the UTXO model with persistent references that allow outputs to reference other outputs across transactions — enabling contract state, token tracking, and cross-input validation.

🔒

SHA512/256d Proof of Work

ASIC-friendly mining algorithm with strong security properties. Fair launch on June 20, 2022 with no pre-mine, no ICO, and a 2-year halving schedule starting at 50,000 RXD per block.

V2 Hard Fork Block 410,000

The V2 upgrade introduces six new consensus-level opcodes that enable fully trustless on-chain dMint token mining, multi-algorithm proof-of-work verification, and efficient bitwise arithmetic — all without external indexer dependencies.

OP_BLAKE3 (0xee)

BLAKE3 Hashing

Native on-chain BLAKE3 hash — enables trustless verification of Blake3-mined dMint tokens directly in script.

OP_K12 (0xef)

KangarooTwelve

On-chain K12 hash built on KeccakF permutation. High-throughput token mining with on-chain PoW validation.

OP_LSHIFT (0x98)

Left Bit Shift

Re-enabled bitwise left shift for on-chain DAA (difficulty adjustment algorithm) computations in dMint contracts.

OP_RSHIFT (0x99)

Right Bit Shift

Re-enabled bitwise right shift, paired with LSHIFT for efficient ASERT-lite difficulty calculations on-chain.

OP_2MUL (0x8d)

Multiply by 2

Re-enabled fast doubling opcode. Useful in DAA arithmetic chains and compact numeric computations.

OP_2DIV (0x8e)

Divide by 2

Re-enabled fast halving with truncation toward zero. Complements OP_2MUL for symmetric arithmetic.
