Community Roadmap 1.0 — Prioritizing the Feature List
VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE FEATURES TO HELP SHAPE THE RADIANT COMMUNITY ROADMAP 1.0 FOR 2026
Community Roadmap 1.0 Survey
This survey, while comprehensive and inclusive in scope, also seeks to trim features that are deemed unnecessary by the community by asking the participants to only select roughly 33% of the available proposed features to help generate separations between the features’ overall scores that will inform the team how to trim the list’s bottom portion before the on-chain voting of the finalized and prioritized Radiant Community Roadmap v1.0.
The survey’s results will be tallied, reconciled, and entered into the Community Roadmap list in the “Community Vote” column, to be calculated into the “Overall Score” formula, which officially prioritizes every proposed feature. The top 10% of the finalized list is likely to be implemented in 2026, while the bottom 90% will not. The actual cutoff point is dependent on market dynamics and level of resources (funding, team size, time…), and can change.
To work within Discourse’s 20 options per survey limit, this longer feature list was split into 2 surveys: one for the proposed retail features and the other for the proposed institutional and platform features. PLEASE VOTE ON BOTH SURVEYS.

Abstract
This marks a historic milestone — positioning Radiant Capital as the first DeFi protocol (and potentially the first in all of crypto) to decentralize its entire roadmap design while maintaining institutional-grade execution standards.
After a long period of ideation with the community, this survey will now facilitate the force ranking effort (resulting bottom portion will be trimmed) of the DRAFT Radiant Community Roadmap feature list, which will then be presented on-chain (snapshot) as the Radiant Community Roadmap v1.0 for ratification. While it is generally safe to assume that the top 10% of the finalized and prioritized feature list will “likely” be implemented in 2026, and the bottom 90% will NOT, the actual cutoff point is dependent on market dynamics and available resources (funding and team size…).
Motivation
Executing on the community-approved remediation plan, and reinforcing security through the Guardian Fund, HyperNative, and multi-layered signers, the protocol is now prepared to evolve from reactive governance to proactive, decentralized product strategy — the hallmark of DeFi 3.0.
-
Why now? Past RFPs (e.g., RFP-48: Community Council Election, RFP-52: Guardian Fund) established the foundation for community-led governance, treasury protection, and institutional-grade operations — paving the way for the DAO to co-create its next phase of growth.
-
Why this matters: Empowering the community to directly shape the roadmap ensures alignment among user priorities, protocol economics, and long-term resilience — reinforcing Radiant’s position as the standard-bearer of DeFi 3.0.
Rationale
-
First in DeFi (and crypto): While DAOs vote on budgets or emissions, no major protocol has fully decentralized the roadmap design process and ownership. Radiant once again leads in innovation, this time with DAO governance.
-
Transparency & empowerment: Every non-administrative roadmap action - from feature requests and removals to prioritization originates from the community.
-
Sustainable governance: This process creates a repeatable model for annual or quarterly roadmap formation, ensuring Radiant remains both competitive and community-aligned.
Timeline
-
Publish Date + 6 Weeks: Publish survey + gather community input for 6 weeks.
-
+ 2 Weeks: Council compiles results → stabilizes list.
-
+ 4 Weeks: Launch Weighted Snapshot vote for 4 weeks.
-
+2 Weeks: Publish Community Roadmap 2026.
Conclusion
This survey inaugurates DeFi’s first fully community-driven roadmap process. By merging open survey feedback, council synthesis, and on-chain weighted voting, Radiant Capital – backed 24/7 DeFi’s first decentralized reserve fund (Radiant Guardian) – reinforces its evolution from an omnichain lending pioneer to the Guardian of DeFi — setting a new gold standard for decentralized, institutional-grade governance and innovation.
Before the Community Roadmap is implemented, the following items are included in the near-term roadmap:
- Guardian Fund Phase 2
- Adding Polygon Chain (USDC, WBTC, WPOL, WETH, wstETH, USDT)
- Adding Optimism Chain
- Adding PAXG and AAVE to mainnet
- Bugfixes and UI changes
