Decentralized ledger protocols, be it Blockchain, DAGs or whatever form they take, are created to allow participation and sharing of value. Open source and the community around the technology forms a critical piece of a public ledger’s anti-fragility. We want to take this technological innovation to bring anyone, anywhere, friction-free access to the digital economy. A network that is truly for anyone cannot come to fruition without openness and cooperation between all parties interested in getting to a fully open network. At Radix, we value this vision – we want everyone to be on board of th ..read more

Towards the end of 2019 we announced that Radix would no longer be launching a public network in Q4 2019, as we had intended to do. This decision was due to technical setbacks which, put simply, meant the ledger was not ready for public deployment.  Since announcing the delay, we have tightened our focus and realigned around the core of what we have always set out to achieve at Radix: building a massively scalable decentralised public network.  In January, the Radix Team came together to evaluate and agree on our plans for 2020. Following on from this, we want to update you on what is changin ..read more

Radix’s journey started back in 2013 when our founder, Dan, saw both the promise and challenges of Bitcoin. For Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, to become a new global cash system Dan knew it needed to be able to scale to meet global demand. To see if this was possible Dan started running tests to see what the limits of Bitcoin’s scalability were. Beginning with Bitcoin Down in his coding cave (in reality quite a nice, if messy study, in the back on Dan’s house) Dan started spinning up nodes and spamming his test network to really see what bitcoin and blockchain could do. He did everything from ..read more

For the first time ever in human existence we have a secondary option to a non-governmental controlled currency. For the first time ever you and I have a secondary option and this is why bitcoin is so important or any cryptocurrency bitcoin ether and many different other ones but bitcoin was the first one created by Satoshi Nakamoto.  If you bought just $1,000 of bitcoins in July 2010 you would now have 90 million dollars on your hands. 7 years ago the cryptocurrency has steadily been climbing in value.  What is driving Bitcoin Sergent value?

"Be your own bank."That used to be the slogan for one of the most prominent companies in the space. I remember when I first heard that slogan, and thought, 'Yeah! Be your own bank. Awesome!' In hindsight, it was ridiculous in so many ways. It represents the aspiration, the sheer audacity of wanting to replace institutions that have existed for centuries with protocols. I like that, the sheer audacity of it. I like the idea. Like the old UNIX t-shirt that said, "Be nice or I'll replace you with a small script." But that audacity, that vision, contains within it a far dose of hubris ..read more
