Community WG · Continue Radix Rewards (Mini Season 2) through the handover

Radix Rewards drives on-chain activity and retention. To avoid a gap during the Foundation handover, the community proposed a bridging Mini Season 2 – a well-supported RFC (44 replies) the DAO should fund and run.

Where it stands (August 2026)

This card was listed as approved; it is not, and never was. The RFC opened on 28 January 2026 and the thread ran out in February without a decision, split between funding a slimmed-down season to keep the ecosystem liquid and preserving capital until the DAO takes over. A poll put to the thread — a 10 million XRD pool over three months, against waiting for the DAO — is the furthest the proposal ever travelled.

Under the three-stage route the DAO now uses — a draft discussion on RadixTalk, a temperature check on the Radix Consultation app, then a binding governance proposal — it never left the first stage. The temperature checks the Radix Accountability Council has put to that app cover Stokenet operations, the Radix website and CAIP/x402 registration; none of them concerns rewards. Six months on, incentives.radixdlt.com is still titled "Radix Rewards - Season 1", and no second season has been funded or run. Status corrected from Approved to Discussion on 8 August 2026.
