Concepts

Background reading for understanding why pyrxd works the way it does and how Radiant differs from related blockchains.

Available now

  • Gravity: cross-chain atomic swaps — what the Gravity protocol is, what a covenant is, and the difference between the mainnet-proven sentinel-artifact path and the experimental covenant variants. Read this before integrating pyrxd.gravity.

Adjacent reading (not yet promoted to concept docs)

The research notes in docs/dmint-research-photonic.md, docs/dmint-research-mainnet.md, and docs/dmint-followup.md cover slices of dMint material at protocol-implementer depth.

Planned concept articles

  • How Radiant differs from Bitcoin (refs, hashOutputHashes, ref-aware sighash, the additional BIP143 field)

  • The Glyph token model: NFT, FT, dMint, mutable, container, WAVE

  • pyrxd’s security model: typed primitives, SecretBytes memory hygiene, signer separation, threat boundaries

If you have a use case that would make a useful concept article, open an issue.
