The 250M XRD Radix Ecosystem Fund was established to fuel innovation and accelerate the development of groundbreaking dApps that harness the full potential of the Radix network. Through this fund, projects building on Radix can tap into resources and support to deliver transformative Web3 experiences.
This article spotlights Selfi Social and Radix Charts, two projects that have received the Launch Booster Grant—a program offering up to $15,000 in XRD to help over a dozen projects successfully launch on Radix Mainnet. These projects are not just leveraging the unique advantages of the Radix tech stack; they’re redefining what’s possible in Web3 by delivering experiences that combine unprecedented power with enhanced intuitiveness.
Selfi Social and Radix Charts demonstrate how the Radix Ecosystem’s modular, composable architecture and integrated features from other Radix projects can foster greater functionality and user-centric design.
Stay tuned for more success stories from the Radix Grants Program, as the next generation of innovative Radix dApps come to life.
Radix Charts
Understanding what’s happening on-chain—tracking the movement of assets, adoption trends, and ecosystem activity—is critical for developers, token holders, and ecosystem participants.
RadixCharts exists to solve this challenge, transforming raw data from the Radix Network into actionable insights that empower users to make informed decisions.
RadixCharts provides a comprehensive analytics platform designed to illuminate the health, growth, and dynamics of the Radix Ecosystem. With tools that track everything from TVL to staking trends and developer activity, it bridges the gap between raw network data and the actionable metrics users need in a DeFi ecosystem as unique as Radix.
Key Features of RadixCharts
Total Value Locked: RadixCharts provides a detailed view of the Total Value Locked (TVL) across Radix dApps, an essential indicator of network health and user trust. Users can filter TVL data by contracts, pools, LSU pools, and staking, offering a granular understanding of asset distribution. RadLock insights, which will add even more depth to TVL analysis, are set to launch soon.
XRD Staking and Unstaking Metrics: RadixCharts tracks the amount of XRD being staked or unstaked, reflecting the confidence and participation of the community in securing the network. Detailed insights by validator are also available, including metrics such as the total amount staked, market share, seven-day changes in stake, and validator fees.
Smart Contracts Deployed: The dashboard monitors the number of smart contracts deployed on the Radix network, highlighting developer activity and ecosystem growth. Trends in smart contract deployment provide a clear picture of network adoption and the expanding variety of dApps being built on Radix.
Ecosystem Dashboard: RadixCharts includes a comprehensive Ecosystem Dashboard that provides an overview of network activity. Key metrics include the number of active accounts, TVL token share, wallet sizes, developer royalties paid out, and Scrypto downloads over the last year. This dashboard is a valuable resource for assessing user engagement, ecosystem adoption, and developer activity.
Project Ranking: RadixCharts offers detailed rankings of projects within the Radix Ecosystem. Each project is accompanied by a short description, links to their social media and website, and information on whether they support staking. Additionally, the ranking includes each project’s TVL, enabling users to assess their relative adoption and success within the ecosystem.
Founder of RadixCharts, Nelly, gave more detail on her experience with the Radix Grants Program: “The transition from Olympia to Babylon brought significant technical changes, and the support from the Launch Booster has been invaluable in helping us fund and establish new infrastructure. This recognition of our work motivates us to continue delivering accurate, reliable statistics for the Radix network and its growing ecosystem. We’re proud to play a role in supporting the ecosystem and network during such an exciting time.”

Selfi Social
Selfi Social is a Chrome extension that integrates directly into the X interface, connecting users to the Radix Ecosystem. Designed to enhance the Web2 social media experience with Web3 capabilities, it empowers creators, traders, and social media users with tools to interact, transact, and engage with the Radix network—all within their X (Twitter) feed.
Key Features of Selfi Social
Cashtag Discovery and Interaction
Selfi Social simplifies token discovery and interaction by enabling users to spot cashtags (e.g., $XRD) directly in their X (Twitter) feed. This integration allows users to:
- Swap Tokens: Quickly and easily initiate token swaps without leaving the platform.
- Add Liquidity: Contribute to liquidity pools tied to discovered cashtags, making liquidity mining and DeFi participation accessible and convenient.
- Stake Tokens: Support the Radix network by staking tokens linked to cashtags. Users can even combine token swapping and staking into a single transaction.
This feature empowers traders to act on market insights and social signals in real-time, enhancing decision-making and execution efficiency.
XRD Domains: Social Web3 Identities
Selfi Social leverages XRD Domains to provide users with unique Web3 identities and financial personas. These identities allow users to:
- Discover what tokens other XRD Domain holders are interested in and profiting from.
- Gain valuable insights into the Radix Ecosystem, including trending tokens, NFTs, and new dApps.
The integration of XRD Domains also connects users’ Web3 personas with their X (Twitter) profiles, creating a cohesive social-financial identity.
Social DeFi Features
Selfi Social enhances social media engagement with powerful DeFi functionalities:
- Domain Insights: Display names on X (Twitter) are tied to XRD Domains, offering visibility into network interactions and activity. Users can explore token holdings, staking activities, and other contributions tied to these identities.
- Staking with Delegation Namelets: Users can delegate their stake to a specific validator address, called a ‘delegation namelet,’ through XRD Domains. This feature boosts validator visibility while providing users with flexible staking options.
- Integrated Website Profiles: XRD Domains also enable users to associate their Web3 identity with a personal Web2 website. This feature supports a linktree-style profile, perfect for showcasing a user’s projects or interests.
Tipping and Rewards
Selfi Social makes rewarding contributions easier with built-in tipping functionality. Users can tip XRD Domain holders directly from tweet replies or comments, incentivizing valuable input and insights shared in conversations.
Additionally, on-chain reward polls let users participate in governance by voting on proposals and initiatives. Poll creators gain detailed insights into voter behavior and can reward participation, fostering more active engagement in token communities and project decisions.
The founder and sole developer of Selfi Social, Beem.xrd, shared their thoughts on the Radix Grants program:
“The Radix grants process has allowed projects like RadLock and Selfi Social to deliver much quicker while also being supported through the early stages from socials, articles, Reddit AMAs done on said projects. It’s an opportunity to ship projects while being supported throughout the process. The launch booster has greatly supported the development of Selfi Social, allowing it to be a popular tool within the Radix Ecosystem.”
