Radiant Capital company
Overview
Radiant Capital was a cross-chain DeFi lending protocol with the RDNT token — and it is now shutting down. On 16 October 2024 it suffered what it called 'a highly sophisticated security breach' resulting in the loss of $50 million. The attack did not exploit a contract bug but the humans holding the keys: the protocol used a 3-of-11 multisig requiring three signatures for important transactions, and attackers compromised multiple developers' hardware wallets through advanced malware injection, so the Gnosis Safe frontend displayed legitimate transaction data while malicious transactions were sent to the hardware wallets for signature. The breach has been linked to North Korea and described as among the most sophisticated hacks in DeFi history. Recovery failed: in October 2025 CertiK reported that attacker-linked wallets deposited 2,834 ETH into Tornado Cash after routing funds through multiple addresses and DAI swaps, estimating roughly $10.8 million of ETH already laundered. On 1 June 2026 the DAO said it would enter a maintenance state and begin an orderly shutdown, citing 'no viable path forward'. After the 16 October 2024 exploit — Radiant's second of that year — the DAO spent 18 months trying to keep the protocol running and recover funds, without success. It announced wind-down on 1 June 2026: RDNT emissions end, borrowing is disabled across all Core and RIZv1 markets, and users can withdraw funds, repay loans, manage positions and claim rewards through the end of 2026. Binance halted RDNT spot trading on 1 April and ended withdrawals on 1 June 2026.
