$XRD Token

Overview

$XRD is the native token of the Radix network. As a native asset, XRD is a first-class resource managed by the Radix Engine — not a smart contract token.

Utility

• Staking — XRD is staked to validators to secure the network. Stakers receive LSUs representing their staked position.
• Transaction Fees — All Radix transactions pay fees in XRD.
• Network Emissions — ~300M XRD per year is distributed to validators and stakers.
• DeFi — XRD is the primary trading pair and collateral asset across Radix DeFi (CaviarNine, Weft, Stabilis).

Economic Model

The Radix economic model is designed for long-term sustainability: emissions incentivize staking and network security, while transaction fees create deflationary pressure as network usage grows.
