RIP #14 - Accelerating RDNT Vesting for RIZ APR Improvement

Abstract

This proposal aims to accelerate the vesting schedule for 200 million RDNT tokens allocated to the Emissions Reserve. The vesting period will be reduced from three years to two, boosting emissions to support higher APRs in Radiant Innovation Zone (RIZ) markets. This adjustment is expected to enhance liquidity and drive growth across multiple chains by making APRs more competitive.

Motivation

The RIZ markets have demonstrated potential for growth; however, declining APRs due to market conditions and suppressed RDNT prices have hindered liquidity expansion. Accelerating the vesting schedule of RDNT tokens allocated to the Emissions Reserve would provide the emissions boost needed to stabilize APRs. By doing so, the protocol aims to attract more liquidity and improve the market positioning of Radiant Innovation Zone (RIZ) across Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. This change aligns with the strategic goal of expanding liquidity depth and maintaining competitiveness in the DeFi market.

Specification

Accelerate the vesting schedule for 200 million RDNT tokens allocated to the Emissions Reserve, shortening the vesting period from three years to two years.
