It holds 700 topics and 6,206 posts from 633 registered accounts. Most of the ecosystem's day-to-day conversation happens on Telegram and Discord, where it scrolls away. RadixTalk is where the ecosystem writes things down: proposals, requests for comment, node-operator troubleshooting, and the long governance threads that a chat window cannot hold. Its largest single conversation is the [Radix DAO transition](/contents/tech/core-concepts/radix-governance), and the forum is named alongside the on-ledger consultation app as the venue where those proposals are debated before a binding vote opens. ## History The forum's own record dates it precisely. Its first topic, the automatic [About the Site Feedback category](https://radixtalk.com/t/about-the-site-feedback-category/1) post that Discourse writes on installation, is stamped 23 December 2021. Six days later the operator, posting as Stuart, welcomed the first two moderators: [Faraz of Radstakes](/ecosystem/radstakes) and [Mattia of MattiaNode](/ecosystem/mattianode), the latter [credited for his validator experience and his HowTo guides](https://radixtalk.com/t/welcome-mattia-from-mattianode-as-a-moderator-on-radixtalk/150). That places the forum's founding after [Olympia](/contents/tech/releases/radix-mainnet-olympia) mainnet and after the [Alexandria Preview Event](/contents/history/alexandria-preview-event), not before either. It nearly did not survive its first summer. On 13 May 2022 a member opened a thread titled [Thanks Stuart!](https://radixtalk.com/t/thanks-stuart/471) on learning the forum was shutting down. Seventeen days later Mattia reopened it under [RadixTalk is back!](https://radixtalk.com/t/radixtalk-is-back/476), with Faraz as an admin and [Avaunt](/ecosystem/avaunt-staking) as a moderator, on the argument that a forum keeps what chat loses: "Lots of important and useful information is lost in some Telegram group or in a Discord channel where few will see it." A relaunch contest, a badge system and an [Italian and German section](https://radixtalk.com/t/radixtalk-is-opening-to-international-communities/1708) followed over the next five months. The last piece of forum infrastructure it announced was [Radix Connect login](https://radixtalk.com/t/radix-connect-login-sign-in-with-your-radix-wallet/2029) in December 2024, which lets a reader sign in with their [Radix Wallet](/contents/tech/core-protocols/radix-wallet) rather than a password. ## Where the conversation actually is The forum has thirteen top-level categories, and their sizes are lopsided. General [Chat / Discussion](https://radixtalk.com/c/chat-discussion/42) is the largest at 152 topics and 1,500 posts. [Questions / Help](https://radixtalk.com/c/questions/35) holds 112 topics, [Validators](https://radixtalk.com/c/validators/16) 56 and [Developers](https://radixtalk.com/c/developers/24) 45. The two language sections opened in 2022 never took: Italian holds eight topics, German one. The number that describes the forum today sits one level down. [Governance](https://radixtalk.com/c/governance/46) holds 30 topics and 261 posts in its own right, and carries two subcategories: [Radix Community DAO](https://radixtalk.com/c/governance/radix-community-dao/52) at 32 topics and 575 posts, and [ILIS DAO](https://radixtalk.com/c/governance/ilis-dao/51) at five and 39. Counting the subcategories, governance runs to 67 topics and 875 posts, more than half the volume of Chat / Discussion and the deepest per-topic discussion on the site. A general Radix forum has become, by volume, a governance forum. The recent threads read the same way. Of the dozen topics most recently posted to in August 2026, the majority sit under Governance: two requests for proposals for delegate seats on the [permanent Radix Accountability Council](/ecosystem/radix-accountability-council), a call to action on the Stokenet test network that ran to 35 posts, a proposal to move the Radix website to Cloudflare, and the [Consultation v2 product scope document](https://radixtalk.com/t/consultation-v2-product-scope-document/2193) for the on-chain voting app the [Charter](/ideas/radix-network-dao-charter) ratification vote depends on. The technical threads that remain are of the same kind: a [native privacy system for Radix V2](https://radixtalk.com/t/proposal-a-native-privacy-system-for-radix-v2/2291), and the community proposal to register Radix in the [x402 payment standard and the CAIP namespace registry](/developers/ai-agents/ai-agents-and-x402). ## Activity RadixTalk is alive and slow. Over the 30 days to 26 August 2026 the forum recorded 3 new topics, 21 posts and 14 people posting; over the 7 days to that date, one post. The newest topic on the board, a validator reporting that [node release v1.3.0.5 was not working](https://radixtalk.com/t/v1-3-0-5-not-working/2327), dates from 17 August 2026 and has no replies. Set against 6,206 lifetime posts, roughly one post in 300 was written in the last month. That rate is a poor guide to the forum's importance, because governance runs on a slower clock than chat. A request for proposals stays open for weeks and draws its replies over that span: the delegate RFP opened on 15 July 2026 and was still collecting posts on 13 August. Anyone wanting to follow the DAO transition as it is argued, rather than as it is announced, reads this board. ## External Links - [RadixTalk](https://radixtalk.com) - [RadixTalk – Governance](https://radixtalk.com/c/governance/46) - [RadixTalk – Radix Community DAO](https://radixtalk.com/c/governance/radix-community-dao/52) - [RadixTalk – About and site statistics](https://radixtalk.com/about) - [Radix Governance – RADIX Wiki](/contents/tech/core-concepts/radix-governance)
