Giles Morris is a member of the Radix community who participates in the network's governance and writes about the ecosystem on a personal blog, where he also publishes financial modelling of the network's economics.

Radix Accountability Council

Morris was named among the nominees for the Radix Accountability Council (RAC) in the official consultation to establish the council. The RAC is a five-member, community-elected body — chosen by XRD holders through approval voting — that guides the transition from the Radix Foundation to the Radix DLT DAO, executing decisions made through on-ledger community consultations. Morris stood as a nominee rather than a seated member: the five founding seats went to other candidates, and the council's current membership is recorded on the RAC page.

Writing

He publishes a personal blog at gilesmorris.me, where topics range across cryptocurrency, markets, and other interests. His posts include first-hand accounts of using Radix DeFi, such as a walkthrough of his first decentralized-exchange swap on the network.

Radix network economics model

In July 2026 Morris, a former accountant, published a budget model for the Radix network covering 2026–2030. It asks one question about the transition from the Radix Foundation to a community-governed DAO: assuming the Foundation treasury is zero, are XRD emissions on their own enough to cover the real US-dollar cost of running and developing the network. Rather than model validators and holders separately, it treats them as a single stakeholder group whose rewards have to clear those costs. After varying the assumptions his answer is "probably, yes".

The model is published in full rather than summarised — as a Google Sheet and a downloadable spreadsheet — so its assumptions can be changed and the forecast re-run. It arrives while the same question is live in governance: the validator subsidy is being sunset, and who pays for network operations after the Foundation is an open item rather than a settled one.
