The Internet's Quality Problem
The internet prioritizes attention over accuracy, with advertising rewarding engagement rather than value. This stems from the web's missing payment layer – a native protocol that was planned but never implemented. Without it, advertising became the default business model, creating a systemic bias toward clickbait rather than quality content.

Introducing Radius
Radius is implementing the web's missing payment layer with revolutionary linear scalability similar to TCP/IP protocols. The platform delivers extraordinary performance with 2.5M+ transactions per second and rapid 500ms settlement times, while maintaining incredibly low costs at just 1/100,000¢ per transaction.
This breakthrough technology is built by the same trusted team that developed USDC and spearheaded Project Hamilton, bringing unparalleled expertise in financial infrastructure and distributed systems to power the transaction layer for the AI economy.
