# Radix > The Universal Asset Layer Radix provides a full-stack blockchain platform for Web3 and DeFi applications using asset-oriented programming and linear scalability. Radix provides developers and users with a blockchain platform for Web3 and DeFi applications. With it, you can build secure smart contracts using Scrypto, manage assets through native wallet integration, and deploy scalable dApps with built-in security. Radix eliminates common blockchain limitations through its asset-oriented architecture and Cerberus consensus. - Type: Network - Sector: Blockchain Platforms - Status: Active - Founded: 2024-08-14 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/radix ## Products - [Radix Network](https://thegrid.id/profiles/radix): Radix Network implements Cerberus consensus through linear sharding architecture, enabling unlimited scalability while maintaining atomic composability. The system provides native asset management and developer royalties through on-ledger execution environment. (L1, Live, Main Product) - [Radix Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/radix): Radix Wallet implements Smart Accounts and Personas through native mobile architecture, enabling seedless recovery and passwordless Web3 authentication. The system provides transaction manifests and cross-device connectivity via Radix Connect. (Wallet, Live) - [Scrypto](https://thegrid.id/profiles/radix): Scrypto implements asset-oriented programming through Rust-based smart contract language, providing native asset primitives and blueprint deployment system. The framework enables secure DeFi development with built-in resource management and developer royalties. (Developer Tooling, Live) ## Assets - [Radix (XRD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/radix): XRD is the native token of Radix Network. It is used to pay transaction fees, secure the network through staking, and participate in governance. The network uses Cerberus consensus to coordinate multiple shards simultaneously, allowing XRD transactions across different parts of the network to execute together without sacrificing speed or composability. (Native) - [eRadix (eXRD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/radix): eXRD is a wrapped token representing XRD on the Ethereum network as an ERC-20 token. It is used to access Ethereum DeFi applications, provide liquidity, and serve as collateral, while maintaining a 1:1 exchange ratio with native XRD through Instabridge or exchanges. Each eXRD is backed by an XRD token held in custody, allowing Radix users to participate in Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem without leaving the Radix network entirely.
