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](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-mini-season-2-of-radix-rewards-during-foundation-handover/2191) 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](/ecosystem/radixtalk), a temperature check on the [Radix Consultation app](/ideas/dao-governance-app-consultation-v2), then a binding governance proposal — it never left the first stage. The temperature checks the [Radix Accountability Council](/ecosystem/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](https://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.
