Radix Launches Early Test For 1 Billion XRD DeFi Rewards Campaign

HomeNews* Radix will run a public test of its new DeFi rewards campaign from July 7 to July 13.

• The test will evaluate the full backend rewards system before the main launch.
• Participants can earn activity points, which do not convert directly to actual campaign points but will receive a Season 1 bonus.
• The campaign aims to reward real DeFi activity and deter farming and bots through built-in safeguards.
• The 1 billion XRD campaign intends to support sustainable DeFi growth over the next 18-24 months. Radix is set to conduct a one-week public test of its “Radix Rewards” incentive campaign from July 7 at 00:00 UTC to July 13 at 23:59 UTC. This trial will allow users to interact with the full rewards engine, with the goal of confirming its ability to fairly distribute rewards for genuine decentralized finance (DeFi) activity.

• Advertisement - Company representatives stated that the trial will focus on the backend and points calculation system. The user interface may appear unfinished, but the test covers real reward mechanics. Participants will not see a direct transfer of points earned during the trial to the official campaign, but everyone taking part will receive a bonus for Season 1.

The campaign will reward users with weekly Season Points (SP) for activities such as trading, lending, and liquidity provision across five top decentralized applications (dApps): CaviarNine, Ociswap, DeFiPlaza, Root Finance, and WEFT Finance. Supported assets include xUSDC, xwBTC, xETH, and xUSDT. The system uses various safeguards, including a minimum holding of $50 in XRD, percentile-based rankings, and supply-weighted multipliers. These measures aim to prevent farming—where automated or repetitive actions artificially inflate participation metrics—and to avoid reward-system manipulation by large holders or bots.

Radix designed its anti-farming features to ensure that only active, value-adding participants receive benefits. According to the company, splitting assets across many wallets or maintaining idle balances will not increase rewards. The rewards structure allows users to multiply their points by up to three times if they combine holding XRD or related assets with active participation.

The overall 1 billion XRD campaign will distribute incentives over 18 to 24 months, focusing on promoting real economic activity and long-term ecosystem sustainability. The company states the goal is to show that incentive systems can drive authentic growth in DeFi without relying on identity requirements or risk of system exploitation.

Additional information on the campaign, mechanics, and participating dApps is available through the official Radix website. The company encourages all users, both new and experienced, to take part in the public test to help finalize the rewards system.
