Radix Accountability Council

Overview

The Radix Accountability Council (RAC) is a five-member community-elected body formed in February 2026 to facilitate the transition from the Radix Foundation to a fully community-led governance model. The RAC was proposed as part of the Radix 2026 Strategy, which outlines an orderly handover of Foundation functions to community entities and commercial operators.

The formation consultation ran from January 30 to February 6, 2026, with over 1.34 billion XRD participating from 1,151 unique accounts — one of the highest-participation governance events in Radix history.

Elected Members

The council size was determined by approval voting, with the 5-member option winning with 56.91% of XRD (740.7M XRD). Members were elected by XRD-weighted vote:

Peachy — 1.248 billion XRD (92.76%)
Faraz — 1.129 billion XRD (83.87%)
Jazzer_9F — 1.116 billion XRD (82.92%)
Avaunt — 786.4 million XRD (58.44%)
projectShift — 769.9 million XRD (57.22%)

The top three members achieved exceptionally high consensus (80%+), indicating broad community alignment. The race for 5th place was close — 769.9M vs 768.2M XRD — confirming a genuinely competitive election.

Responsibilities

The RAC serves three primary functions during the 2026 transition period:

Operational Framework: Establish the governance and administrative framework for community entities to take over Foundation functions.
Administrative Coordination: Coordinate the handover of critical services — including the Babylon Gateway, Signalling Server, and Connect Relay — to community and commercial operators via the RFP (Request for Proposal) process.
Foundation Interface: Act as the primary interface between the community and the Radix Foundation during the transition, ensuring accountability and continuity.

The RAC also oversees the wind-down of the Validator Subsidy, with administration transferring from the Foundation to community entities in April 2026.
