Ecosystem Spotlight: ShardSpace Discussion with Radix

The Cassandra & Engine Test is a community-scale testing event of Cassandra combined with the Radix Engine, hosted by Radix Labs. Scheduled for December 31, 2025, this test focuses on scaling validation in Radix's roadmap to hyperscale. The format involves large-scale participation from the Radix community and third parties to validate the network's progress. Recent News According to Radix's roadmap blog updated in late 2024, Radix Labs has achieved over 2 million TPS capabilities in preliminary tests with Cassandra, a critical part of their scaling architecture. They have scheduled community testing at scale for December 2024 and additional third-party engagements leading to the end of 2025 for Cassandra to fulfill its R&D role. Future Plans Radix plans to transition from Cassandra's role as an R&D platform to full deployment, aiming for hyperscale performance and scalability improvements to support its decentralized network's growth. Further community and third-party tests are slated throughout 2025 to ensure robustness. Onchain Data No verifiable onchain metrics available. Community Sentiment Neutral to positive sentiment in the Radix community, reflecting anticipation for scaling breakthroughs. Community feedback emphasizes excitement about TPS achievements, but some cautious about timelines. Risk Disclaimer This event focuses on testing network scalability and architecture improvements but may indirectly affect token sentiment and valuation depending on test outcomes.

The Xian Production Planning event is hosted by Radix (e-Radix) and scheduled for December 31, 2025. It represents a significant development phase in Radix's roadmap focused on preparing for the production-ready network implementation called Xian. This event is part of Radix Labs' plan to execute production planning in Q4 2025, with the full implementation of Xian in Rust expected in 2026. The event is a technical milestone rather than a public format event such as an AMA or conference and participation details are limited to the Radix developer and technical community through official channels such as the Radix website and blog (https://www.radixdlt.com/blog/radix-labs-roadmap---to-hyperscale-and-beyond). Recent News Over the past three months, Radix has announced its continued focus on scaling and network improvements as it progresses towards this production-ready phase. The roadmap update released in late 2024 outlines key milestones including peripheral layer enhancements (networking, database functionality) and system upgrades leading to Hyperscale capabilities. Future Plans Following the production planning phase in 2025, Radix intends to implement the Xian network fully in Rust by 2026 to achieve their vision of horizontal scalability and interoperability in decentralized finance (DeFi). This development phase aims to solidify the base protocol and extend functionality with robust infrastructure layers. Onchain Data No verifiable onchain metrics available. Community Sentiment Sentiment around Radix’s Xian production planning appears generally positive among the technical and developer community, with anticipation for the next phase of network development. Discussions note excitement for the scaling potential but also caution due to the technical complexity and timeline. Few public community quotes are available given the technical nature and timing of this event. Risk Disclaimer As this event involves production planning for a network upgrade, it has the potential to affect the token's price based on successful implementation and adoption. Investors should monitor official updates closely.
