e-Radix (EXRD)
Key data
updated $0e-Radix (EXRD) is the Ethereum-based version of XRD, the native coin of the Radix blockchain, packaged as a standard ERC-20 token. Every EXRD is backed one-to-one by an XRD locked on the Radix network, so it's essentially the same asset living on a different chain. In plain terms, it lets Radix's coin travel through the Ethereum ecosystem, where it can be traded and used in DeFi.
Frequently asked questions
What is e-Radix, and how is it different from XRD?
EXRD is simply XRD wrapped as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Each EXRD in circulation is matched by an XRD locked on the Radix network, and holders can convert between the two at a 1:1 rate through the official bridge. XRD is the native coin of Radix itself, while EXRD brings the same asset into Ethereum wallets and apps.
How does the technology behind it work?
Radix is a layer-1 blockchain built specifically for decentralized finance, and its signature innovation is the Cerberus consensus architecture. Cerberus divides the network into overlapping shards that process transactions in parallel, which is designed to let the network scale while keeping DeFi transactions atomic and composable. EXRD itself is a standard ERC-20, so on the Ethereum side it behaves like any other token.
How is the supply and emission of EXRD structured?
The total supply is capped at 24 billion coins — the same hard cap that applies to XRD, since EXRD is fully backed by it. New EXRD is only minted when someone locks XRD to wrap it, so the combined supply of both tokens never exceeds the cap. In other words, there is a fixed ceiling and no unlimited issuance.
How can I store and use EXRD?
Since it's an ERC-20 token, EXRD works with any Ethereum-compatible wallet: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or hardware wallets like Ledger. You can hold it, trade it on exchanges, or use it in Ethereum-based DeFi applications. If you want the native Radix experience, you can swap EXRD back into XRD and move it to a Radix wallet.
