e-Radix (EXRD) is the
Ethereum-compatible ERC-20 wrapped version of the native XRD token from the Radix network, a highly scalable
Layer-1 smart contract platform designed specifically for
DeFi with unlimited capacity through its Cerberus consensus and sharded architecture. Launched in 2021, Radix enables developers to build complex
dApps with atomic composability across shards, using the Scrypto programming language for asset-oriented
smart contracts that are safer and more intuitive than Solidity. EXRD allows Ethereum users to participate in Radix
staking, governance, and ecosystem without bridging, while XRD remains the native token on Radix L1 for fees and consensus. The token supports staking rewards, governance voting in the Radix
DAO on protocol upgrades and treasury allocation, and incentives for validators in a DeFi-optimized blockchain secured by audited smart contracts.
When Did e-Radix Launch?
Radix launched its
mainnet and XRD token in July 2021 (private network phase), with e-Radix (EXRD) introduced shortly after in 2021 as an
ERC-20 wrapper for Ethereum compatibility and broader accessibility. The ecosystem expanded with Scrypto language in 2022, achieved the Babylon upgrade for full public network functionality in 2023–2024, and continued growth in 2025 with increased DeFi adoption, developer tooling, and governance activation, maintaining high transaction throughput and ecosystem activity by December 2025.
What Are the Key Features of e-Radix?
e-Radix provides ERC-20 access to Radix staking and governance, Cerberus consensus for unlimited linear scalability, sharded architecture with atomic composability, Scrypto programming language for asset-oriented smart contracts, staking rewards for token holders, governance through the Radix DAO, audited security with formal verification, low fees, and tools optimized for DeFi,
NFTs, and high-throughput dApps in a scalable, secure Layer-1 ecosystem.
What Is EXRD Used For?
EXRD is used for staking participation (via bridging mechanisms), governance voting in the Radix DAO on upgrades and treasury allocation, providing
liquidity for yields on Ethereum, accessing ecosystem incentives including validator rewards and developer grants, and enabling Ethereum users to interact with the Radix network without direct bridging.
What Is the EXRD Token Utility?
EXRD serves as the Ethereum-compatible wrapper for Radix participation, captures value from bridged network activity and staking rewards, provides fee payment functionality across ecosystems, incentivizes liquidity provision and long-term holding, and supports ecosystem growth through treasury allocations for development, Scrypto tooling, and DeFi integrations.
What Blockchain Does e-Radix Operate On?
e-Radix (EXRD) is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, serving as a wrapped/bridged version of the native XRD token on the Radix Layer-1 network.
What Are EXRD Tokenomics?
EXRD has a capped supply aligned with XRD (total maximum 24 billion), with circulation from bridging and unlocks as of December 2025. Allocation mirrors XRD: staking rewards, ecosystem development, team vesting, liquidity, treasury; balanced by burns and emission schedule.
