RADIX.wiki is a permissionless knowledge base and community hub for the Radix ecosystem. The organization runs events such as the Radix Wiki Hackathon and the Dapp In A Day workshops, while the site hosts around 250 articles, ecosystem listings, a jobs board, and a talent pool section, all with a view to increasing the 'collision rate' between researchers, founders and contributors to Radix. Since 2022, the site has seen more than 10k visitors from over 100 countries.
How to contribute
There are several ways to contribute to the wiki:
Edit an article by clicking on the Edit button above.
Create a new page under the appropriate tag path (e.g., contents, ecosystem, community).
Ask questions or make suggestions in the comments section.
Enquire about sponsorships.
Note: Contributing requires a Radix wallet with XRD. Creating pages requires 5,000–50,000 XRD depending on the section, editing requires 20,000 XRD, and commenting requires 10,000 XRD. Some sections (community, blog, RFPs) are author-only.
Advantages
Utility: Knowledge and experience are wasted if they aren't shared, but a wiki can amplify and focus the collective wisdom, experience, and intelligence of the Radix community, benefitting the whole web3 movement.
Accessibility: Being spread across multiple locations makes information difficult and slow to find, but a comprehensive wiki can make it easier for community members to find the information they need, whether they are researching a topic or solving a problem.
Speed: Information on a wiki can be updated within minutes of a new development, giving an immediate benefit to the community.
Accuracy: Multiple users can contribute and edit content on a wiki, leading to a more comprehensive, balanced, accurate, and up-to-date resource that also reflects the diversity of its contributors.
Neutrality: Hype can be off-putting for newcomers, but a neutral voice helps people to view information about Radix objectively.
Simplicity: A rich block-based editor makes it easy for anyone to contribute, no matter how small the change.
Version control: Semantic versioning with block-level diffs tracks every change and makes it easy to review or roll back edits.
Collaboration: Bringing knowledge and creators together in one place increases the collision rate of the community, leading to more projects and shared endeavors that will compound for Radix over the coming weeks and months.
Disadvantages
Quality control: Although XRD balance requirements help filter contributions, it can still be difficult to ensure that all information is accurate and reliable.
Vandalism: Balance gating and author-only restrictions mitigate this, but wiki content remains editable by qualifying users.
Ownership: Since the information is contributed by multiple users, there can be issues with ownership and authorship. Author-only sections (community pages, blog, RFPs) help address this for personal content.
Roadmap
Just as Wikipedia is the municipal center of the internet, our vision is to be the same for Web3, assuming that Radix will be its substrate. Having moved to a fully native web3 application, the wiki now combines the power of Radix with a block-based editing system. Upcoming milestones include:
Community governance and treasury management.
Contributor rewards.
Integrations with other Radix projects.
On-ledger storage.
Technical Features
Key technical features of the application include:
Decentralized authentication using ROLA (Radix Off-Ledger Authentication) with Ed25519 signature verification.
Block-based content system with six block types: rich text, columns, infoboxes, recent pages, page lists, and asset price widgets.
Rich text editing via TipTap with tables, code blocks (syntax highlighted), YouTube/Twitter embeds, tab groups, and image uploads.
Semantic versioning with block-level change tracking (added, removed, modified, moved).
XRD balance-gated access control for creating, editing, and commenting.
Hierarchical tag-based content organization with per-path permissions.
Threaded comments.
Full revision history with structured diffs.
