Core Protocols

XRD is the native token of the Radix network, used for staking, transaction fees, validator rewards, and DeFi participation.

Cerberus is Radix's BFT consensus protocol that braids consensus across shards for linear scalability with atomic composability.

NFTs on Radix are native resources — the network understands them natively, no wrapper contracts needed.

Radix Personas let users present different identities to different dApps while maintaining one wallet.

Radix Connect is the decentralized protocol linking web dApps to the Radix Wallet on desktop and mobile.

The Core API provides low-level access to the Radix node for transaction submission, state queries, and network monitoring.

The Radix Engine is a deterministic execution environment that enforces asset behavior at the system level — not the application level.

The Gateway API is the primary developer interface for querying Radix ledger state, submitting transactions, and building dApps.

The Radix Wallet features smart accounts, multi-factor auth, transaction preview, personas, and deposit rules.

Scrypto is Radix's Rust-based smart contract language with asset-oriented programming, compiling to WASM for deterministic execution.

Every Radix account is a programmable component with configurable access rules, deposit preferences, and recovery options.

Human and machine readable transaction instructions that compose multiple DeFi operations atomically in a single transaction.
