Radiant Blockchain: Ecosystem Introduction

Version 1.1 Last Updated: February 2026

What is Radiant?

Radiant (RXD) is a Layer 1 proof-of-work blockchain designed for digital assets and instant payments. Built on the foundations of Bitcoin's UTXO model, Radiant introduces unique innovations that enable true digital ownership without requiring smart contract virtual machines.

Key Characteristics

FeatureDescription
ConsensusSHA512/256 Proof-of-Work
Block Time5 minutes
Block Size256 MB
Max Supply21,000,000,000 RXD
Decimals8 (like Bitcoin)
Block Reward25,000 RXD (halving every 210,000 blocks)

Why Radiant?

1. True Digital Ownership

Unlike account-based blockchains, Radiant uses the UTXO model enhanced with induction proofs and a reference system. This enables:

2. Native Script Capabilities

Radiant extends Bitcoin's script language with:

3. Performance at Scale

The Glyph Token Standard

Glyph is Radiant's native token protocol, enabling:

Token TypeUse Cases
Fungible Tokens (FT)Currencies, points, shares, voting tokens
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT)Art, collectibles, tickets, certificates
Data Tokens (DAT)Timestamps, attestations, anchors
ContainersNFT collections, albums, bundles

Unique Technical Features

1. Reference System

Radiant's reference system provides unique token identification:

OP_PUSHINPUTREF <36-byte-ref>      # Normal reference (FT)
OP_PUSHINPUTREFSINGLETON <36-byte-ref>  # Singleton reference (NFT)

2. Transaction Introspection

Scripts can inspect their transaction context:

OP_INPUTINDEX          # Current input being evaluated
OP_TXINPUTCOUNT        # Number of inputs
OP_TXOUTPUTCOUNT       # Number of outputs
OP_UTXOVALUE           # Value of a UTXO
OP_OUTPUTVALUE         # Value of an output
OP_OUTPUTBYTECODE      # Locking script of an output

3. State Management

Contracts can maintain state across transactions:

<state_data>
OP_STATESEPARATOR
<code_script>

4. 64-bit Arithmetic

Full 64-bit signed integer operations:

OP_MUL    # Multiplication
OP_DIV    # Division
OP_MOD    # Modulo
