Radix Weekly
Previously: the Hyperscale funding fallout and unexplained treasury moves left trust thin, but the week closed better than it opened β with Timan's hUSDC recovery list, RocketX restored trading, and the RAC admitting it
A quiet, gritty week. Spam and gloom swallowed several days outright, but real signal surfaced underneath: a polished community video keeping the stuck hUSDC story honest, NOWNodes dropping Radix support stirring fresh infrastructure worries, and Gary ending the week with an unusually direct demand for transparency on the tokens still held by the old RDX entity.
Gary demands answers on ex-RDX tokens
Gary went public with a message to Radix contacts criticizing years of secrecy around XRD still held by the former RDX entity, saying his patience has nearly run out and he's been trying to orchestrate a buyout of the remaining tokens so the community can move on.
Community tracks the old RDX wallets
Jelthebest linked the Radixscan transaction that let the community identify which accounts belong to the old RDX setup, and εlex shared a wallet-monitoring dashboard (rdxh.lovable.app), inviting people to send more wallets to track.
NOWNodes drops Radix support
L reported that NOWNodes no longer supports XRD on shared plans, offering only a 900 EUR/month dedicated node. Daffy countered that storage costs are down 40% and a 'Lean edition' gateway targeting a node plus gateway on a 1 TB disk is next β but a hosting partner to run it all as a service is still missing.
Speculation about Dan firmly shut down
A few members speculated about Dan Hughes's passing; Timan rebutted it flatly, saying he attended the funeral and saw Dan's family, and Vandy ILL asked the room to cut it out of respect.
Asset-oriented design put on trial
After a recent exploit, Felix K asked whether Radix's asset-oriented execution really beats a simple VM like Ethereum's. Azel | genesisclown.xrd argued the design worked as intended but an update 'left the keys in front of the door'; projectShift later added that shared lower-layer code is a double-edged sword whose edges can be managed with care.
- GENKIPOOL's community console set a 41-visits-in-24-hours traffic record unprompted, and added pool, locker and wallet playground features.
- Vlad B β’ ideomaker.com β’ foton.is β’ radi called the community console more feature-rich than the official one, using it almost daily.
- βMr. Peanutbutter π«π· called for RAC candidates; Sink the Boats said he won't put his name forward again.
- JosΓ© Melo Macedo Neto warned that longtime supporters have quietly given up feeling unheard, with promised post-hack updates still missing.
Weighed in on shared base-layer code: with careful risk management, minimizing lower-layer risk while sharpening upper-layer leverage means the efficiency gains more than offset the dangers.
Gary said he emailed them directly and has indirect contact through several other channels, and has been in conversations with nearly everyone involved.
The dev-flavored talk centred on node hosting: Daffy reported a 40% drop in storage costs for a mainnet node and is targeting a 'Lean edition' gateway that fits a node plus gateway on a single 1 TB disk.
The mood: Weary and short on trust β but the rebuilders kept building, with community tooling, honest video reporting and a blunt call for transparency.
