Wow, Radix has really important development update - Drop 2 Complete. Also Drop 3 and 4 are planned already as I see. Drop 3 will be test also, but Drop 4 really interesting to me as after it everything should be ready for mainnet launch, so it will be final testings, right?

I wouldn't call Drop 4 a final testing but it is indeed the last milestone before mainnet.

The Radix CEO Piers Ridyard was featured in a Forbes article looking at how London could evolve from a fintech hub into a DeFi hub.


How Brexit Could Help London Evolve From A Fintech Center Into A DeFi Hub

Forbes, Billy Bambrough

London has built a reputation as a global fintech center over the last decade.

Neobanks including Monzo and Revolut have raised millions at billion dollar valuations. Transferwise and WorldRemit built world-leading cross-border payments systems.

Now, as the U.K. grapples with the realities of Brexit, its long-drawn-out and uncertain departure from the European Union, cryptocurrency developers want to help London's financial center evolve to serve a decentralized finance (DeFi) future.

Why Transferwise’s Co-Founder Backed This Blockchain Company

How Radix Improves DeFi

DeFi has been catapulted into the mainstream this year, with decentralized exchanges like Uniswap generating some of the highest transaction fees of any blockchain platform. Decentralized finance offers an array of financial services that previously had to be regulated and run by a third party, such as exchanging financial assets, insurance, loans, and borrowing. Offering immediate transactions and services to anyone who requires them, decentralized applications have started to revolutionize the financial industry, taking power away from third parties that have traditionally acted as gatekeepers.

3 ETHEREUM ALTERNATIVES THAT BANKS SHOULD BE MONITORING

BITCOINIST, JAN 07, 2021

[...].

RADIX

A public decentralized ledger that demonstrated processing an impressive 1.4 million transactions per second, Radix is a leading contender for Ethereum’s DeFi crown. Reinforced by a next-generation consensus mechanism called Cerberus and powered by the developer-friendly Radix Engine, the layer-1 protocol is the brainchild of autodidact Dan Hughes, a British blockchain evangelist and genius coder who first experimented with Bitcoin in 2011. Indeed, Hughes was inspired by the original Bitcoin code when he started developing Radix, which recently raised $12.7 million from its first-ever token sale and exceeded its funding goal.

Solidity/EVM Compatibility for Radix?

Radix DLT, 6th January 2021

As you know if you’ve read our DeFi Whitepaper, Radix is taking a unique approach to smart contracts, with Components and Scrypto. These developer tools offer the same kind of power and flexibility that Ethereum does to create DeFi and other dApps, but work very differently from Solidity and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

A member of our community recently asked, “why not offer Solidity compatibility on Radix? Wouldn’t this attract developers and dApps to Radix faster than something new?” It’s a reasonable question; in fact, most of the recent Ethereum competitors are playing the compatibility game, often using not only Solidity, but more importantly the fundamental EVM-style computing model that underpins it on Ethereum.

Why True Bitcoiners Should Support DLT and DeFi

Radix DLT, 12th January 2021

Bitcoin true believers, I’m here to humbly suggest that the future of Bitcoin lies outside the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin advocates, I’m here to ask you to help promote projects that don’t seem directly related to Bitcoin. Bitcoiners, I believe the most direct path to adoption of Bitcoin is through adoption of DLT and the emerging DeFi application space. Let me explain.

Tamper-Proof DeFi: Radix Aims to Make Hacks a Thing of the Past

14 January 2021

Its unique breakthrough consensus design has proven the concept of scaling DeFi without breaking composability, challenging Visa-like speeds, and leading to a successful $12.7 million eXRD token sale, later exchangeable for native XRD tokens.

Can Radix Propel DeFi Into the Mainstream?Angela Scott-Briggs

TechBullion, Angela Scott-Briggs, January 18, 2021
   
DeFi, short for decentralized finance, is a breakthrough technology that allows users around the world to access financial services without the need for oversight or involvement from a third party. DeFi applications allow users to retain the value previously absorbed by a company, government, or regulating body, such as by redistributing transaction fees back to the end user that were previously taken as third party profits. The total value locked in DeFi has risen dramatically in the last 12 months, going from less than $1 billion to almost $23 billion, but there are still problems inherent to DeFi that prevent broader adoption, not least in terms of scalability and security. This is where Radix comes in.
