Every Radix Week in Review, and a scored record of what the ecosystem predicted.

Radix accounts gained a third signature scheme, one built to survive quantum computers, and the DAO began recording a checkable fingerprint of every governance document.

The stuck hUSDC has a refund list, 131m XRD left an offline validator, and two validators queued fee rises to 50%.

A rebuilt Stokenet caught up on three protocol updates in under two hours, because what gates an update is a stake threshold rather than a date.

The largest builder on Radix is winding down but leaving its code running, and a validator changed hands in a single transaction that could not half-complete.

One transaction queued fee rises on four validators holding 418.8M XRD, the DAO's ratification vote opened, and recoverable USDC went to a vote.

Hyperscale's design was set against the standard list of sharding problems and answered point by point, and the Foundation put the DAO about a month out.

A sharded Radix network now runs in a browser tab, and Hyperscale will get a purpose-built virtual machine rather than reusing the Radix Engine.

Everything that moved this week was built by the community: the Rust rebuild of Radix's scaling design, a Rust SDK, and Hookah going open source.

A month after the Foundation published the Hyperscale code, its 500,000 transactions-per-second result is something anyone can rebuild and check.

Radix mainnet restarted on 11 September running the Eagle Ray fix. Exchanges have not reopened XRD, and third-party records still carry the halt.

The Rust rebuild finished its first milestone, the execution engine that sits on top of it became public code, and Scrypto survives the change.

Hyperscale merged a network layer for home routers, nine accounts unstaked 326m $XRD, and four validators queued fees of 100%.

The fix for the bug that stopped Radix is written and about to be rehearsed on the test network. The DAO’s incorporation went ahead regardless.

hyperscale-rs taught shards to settle before they split or merge, Ociswap volume doubled, and 419k USDC came back from the stuck bridge transfer.

XRD holders ratified the Radix DAO Charter, one account left Polaris ahead of a fee rise, and Radix Guild opened on mainnet.

The consensus half of the Rust rebuild is essentially built and formally verified, and after a week of worry, candidates began standing for the council.

The Foundation invited outside operators to take over three services it runs itself, and the elected council that will oversee the process took its seat.

The Radix Foundation published its report on the 31 August defect, KuCoin reopened XRD trading, and the engine source shows where the check was missing.
