Radiant Capital Shakes Up DeFi Pantheon on BNB Chain, Arbitrum

Radiant Top 5 on BNB Chain, No. 2 on Arbitrum

Emerging omnichain money market Radiant Capital has rocketed to the top ranks of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols since launching V2 on Arbitrum and expanding to BNB Chain in March.

The protocol has attained its all-time high in Total Value Locked (TVL), verging on $650 million, with about $415 million on Arbitrum and $230 million on BNB Chain – making it the second-ranked protocol on Arbitrum and fifth-ranked protocol on BNB Chain by TVL.

It’s a case of “so far, so good” for Radiant’s multichain expansion plans.

As BSC News reported previously, Radiant launched its V2 product on Arbitrum and expanded to BNB Chain several days later. Built on Layer Zero, Radiant intends to allow users to deposit assets from any major blockchain, borrow assets across multiple chains, and withdraw funds to any major blockchain.

Radiant got another major boost right after its BNB Chain expansion, by attaining a much-coveted listing on the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance. On the news of the listing, the price of $RDNT surged by 30%.

The token retraced after that spike, but in the past few days has increased rapidly and currently is just 10% off the all-time high touched on March 20, according to CoinMarketCap.

What is Radiant Capital:

Radiant intends to be the first omnichain money market, allowing users to deposit any major asset on any major chain and borrow a variety of supported assets across multiple chains.

Lenders who provide Radiant with liquidity will earn a passive income from their deposit assets. Borrowers can withdraw against collateralized funds to obtain liquidity (working capital) without selling assets or closing positions.

Radiant's cross-chain interoperability is built on Layer Zero, taking advantage of Stargate's stable router interface. Lenders who want to reclaim their collateral can specify which chain to withdraw funds from and what percentage to send to each chain.
