Press Release Summary
Radium, a next-generation blockchain built for scalability, has launched its Incentivized Staging Network ("Stagenet") to validate its unique technology ahead of the upcoming mainnet release. The Stagenet will run for 3 months and invites up to 200 participants worldwide to operate nodes and contribute to consensus, earning delegate keys that grant an early stake in Radium's network. Unlike typical testnets, this program is incentive-aligned, with participants earning credits during the test period and guaranteed an allocation in Radium's initial token distribution. Radium introduces several breakthrough innovations, including instant finality, dynamic timing for stable block times, IPv6-only networking, and native binary tokens - features that position it as a leading contender in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency landscape. By opening its technology to early adopters, Radium is establishing a strong community foundation ahead of its mainnet launch, which is poised to have a significant impact on the wider crypto ecosystem.
Press Release Details
New York, NY, September 19th, 2025, Chainwire
Radium, a next-generation blockchain built for universe-scale performance, today announced the launch of its Incentivized Staging Network (“Stagenet”), inviting up to 200 participants worldwide to join and contribute to the testing phase of its upcoming mainnet.
The Stagenet will run for three months and is designed to validate Radium’s unique technology in real-world conditions. Participants who operate nodes and contribute to consensus will receive delegate keys minted into the genesis block, granting them an early stake in Radium’s network and permanently etching their names into its history.
Unlike typical blockchain testnets, Radium’s staging program is incentive-aligned:
- Delegates who participate will earn credits during the test period.
- Successful contributors are guaranteed an allocation in Radium’s initial distribution.
- Participants will directly help strengthen Radium’s foundation by stress-testing performance, governance, and networking layers.
“After years of development, Radium is ready to open its technology to the world,” said Niklas Sinclair, Head of Developer Relations at Radium Labs. “The Stagenet is not just a test — it’s a way for early adopters to become part of Radium’s story from day one.”
Radium introduces several breakthrough innovations, including:
- Instant Finality: Blocks are final with no forks or rollbacks.
- Dynamic Timing: Adaptive slot difficulty that keeps block times stable under varying loads.
- IPv6-Only, Locality-Aware Networking: Optimized for modern infrastructure.
- Binary Tokens at the Protocol Layer: Fast, native tokens without external smart contracts.
How to Participate
Applications for the Stagenet are open now at https://radium.net/staging/. Selected participants will be contacted with instructions on how to set up and operate their nodes.
