RFP-107: Phased Remediation for the Convenience Class

Abstract

This RFP advances the work initiated in Survey-107: Phased Remediation and Dust Considerations for the Convenience Class, which was designed as a temperature check to validate community sentiment around sequencing, scope management, and treasury sustainability for the Convenience Class remediation.

Survey-107 sought to balance three competing realities:

1. The DAO’s previously ratified plan to remediate eligible Convenience Class users,

2. the anticipated drop off in claim rates as claim amounts approach lower values, leaving funds on the table,

3. the need to protect RDNT token integrity and treasury runway while the protocol continues its recovery and rebuild during the current negative market conditions.

The survey introduced phased tranche execution and explored alternative eligibility thresholds as a mechanism to limit long-tail unclaimed exposure. While the tranche-based approach received constructive engagement, community feedback expressed clear concern regarding the introduction of new eligibility or “dust” thresholds beyond those previously ratified. In response to this concern, this RFP-Idea is dropping the proposed new thresholds and retaining the original <$10 dust threshold. Instead of redefining eligibility, this proposal incorporates a community-recommended 90-day claim window per tranche, after which any unclaimed amounts will be rolled forward into subsequent tranches or returned to the DAO treasury.

This adjustment preserves fairness and parity in eligibility across the Convenience Class, eliminates the need for revised dust definitions, and directly addresses the operational risk of unclaimed balances.

Accordingly, this RFP-Idea 107 promotes Survey-107 into a governance-ready document, the step before the on-chain vote, by removing proposed new eligibility thresholds, adding a claim-window, and maintaining the phased remediation structure that enables disciplined execution aligned with treasury sustainability and community trust.

Motivation

As part of Radiant DAO’s ongoing commitment to equitable remediation and long-term sustainability, the DAO proposes a phased remediation plan for the Convenience Class, defined as users with net deposits between $10 and $1,000 at the time of March 11th conversion.

This plan introduces a structured, tranche-based approach to distributing funds, aligned with the DAO’s treasury management objectives and overall protocol health.

Importantly, this updated plan acknowledges that the DAO’s treasury is currently over-exposed to RDNT, with limited non-RDNT assets. Paying for remediation entirely in RDNT during a down-market period would require significant selling pressure—directly harming RDNT holders and degrading the DAO’s financial runway—a more measured, phased distribution is being recommended.

Despite this, the broader protocol outlook has improved. Radiant’s TVL has recovered from ~$3M at the post-exploit lows to consistently ~$20M since November 3, 2025. This recovery reinforces the value of patience, fiscal restraint, and disciplined execution during remediation.

Rationale

1. Safeguarding Long-Term Protocol Health

Radiant’s recovery and growth depend on disciplined treasury management. The DAO remains fully committed to attempt remediating affected users as per community consensus; however, this must be done responsibly, balancing the community’s expectations with operational and developmental sustainability.

A phased approach ensures the DAO can fulfill its obligations without compromising strategic initiatives such as:

• Funding for innovation, audits, and new chain deployments

• Treasury preservation amid evolving market dynamics

• Sustained liquidity and protocol resilience for the RDNT token

2. Managing Cash Flow and Market Volatility

The DAO’s treasury is finite, and its income sources remain tied to market performance and protocol activity. Implementing a phased distribution schedule reduces exposure to adverse conditions such as:

• Liquidity crunches

• Market volatility affecting RDNT

• Temporal imbalances in DAO cash flow

Each tranche is designed to match the DAO’s financial capacity at that time.

3. Protecting RDNT Market Depth

RDNT market health remains a key strategic priority. By carefully managing token emissions through phased remediation, the DAO can help preserve liquidity and prevent undue downward pressure. This disciplined pacing ensures that the DAO’s commitments are met while protecting RDNT’s long-term price stability and market structure.

Proposed Distribution Schedule

The DAO proposes to execute remediation for the Convenience Class through seven tranches, broadly equal in aggregate value, based on net deposit size.

Each tranche will:

• Open a 90-day claim window

• Publish clear eligibility and claim instructions

• Close definitively at the end of the window

Unclaimed amounts will not remain indefinitely reserved.

• Tranche 1: $750 – $1,000 (Q1.2026)

• Tranche 2: $500 – $750 (Q2.2026)

• Tranche 3: $250 – $500 (Q3.2026)

• Tranche 4: $100 – $250 (Q4.2026)

• Tranche 5: $50 – $100 (Q1.2027)

• Tranche 6: $25 – $50 (Q2.2027)

• Tranche 7: $10 – $25 (Q3.2027)

As Radiant DAO’s revenue, treasury position, and investment outlook improve and market conditions strengthen, tranches may be accelerated or deployed simultaneously, however, not any slower than the proposed schedule…

This phased plan embodies Radiant DAO’s enduring ethos: community-first, sustainability-always. It ensures that remediation continues meaningfully, transparently, and responsibly, while reinforcing the DAO’s operational resilience and governance credibility. Through Radiant v3 and subsequent protocol iterations, the DAO seeks not only to remediate but also to rebuild stronger, with governance processes that reflect both empathy and fiscal discipline.

90-Day Claim Window

Survey-107’s exploration of revised eligibility thresholds was intended to limit long-tail unclaimed exposure. However, community feedback indicated a strong preference to retain the originally approved <$10 dust threshold and avoid retroactive eligibility changes.

To address unclaimed exposure without modifying eligibility, this RFP-Idea introduces another community-recommended 90-day claim window per tranche. Any remediation amounts not claimed within this window will be:

• Rolled forward into subsequent Convenience Class tranches or

• Returned to the DAO treasury once no tranches remain.

This mechanism resolves unclaimed exposure while preserving eligibility parity and honoring prior DAO votes.

Steps to Implement

Implementation: Subject to approval, Tranche 1 distributions will commence in Q1 2026, with subsequent tranches following the proposed schedule or as modified by a changing environment.

Cost Analysis

No new costs
