Radium Launches Incentivized Staging Network Ahead of Mainnet Release

Radium, a next-generation blockchain designed for universe-scale performance, has unveiled its Incentivized Staging Network (Stagenet), marking a critical milestone ahead of its mainnet launch. The program invites 200 global participants to stress-test its infrastructure, offering tangible rewards for contributions.

Participants operating nodes will receive delegate keys embedded in the genesis block, securing an early stake in the network. Unlike conventional testnets, Radium's three-month staging phase guarantees successful contributors an allocation in the initial token distribution while testing Core functionalities like instant finality and adaptive slot timing.

"This isn't just technical validation—it's a chance to co-author Radium's history," said Niklas Sinclair of Radium Labs. The approach mirrors growing industry trends where protocol testing transforms into community-building exercises, as seen with Ethereum's shadow forks and Solana's incentivized testnets.
