The creator economy today is fragmented.
NFTs, digital collectibles, and tradable content provide access to the creator's work.
Tokens are often seen as mere assets or speculative investments.
There is a disconnect that remains: assets are traded, but the human connection—the relationship between creator and audience—remains missing.
RADIANT aims to bridge this gap.
At its core, RADIANT elevates creator tokens from simple assets to symbols of genuine relationships.
We view creator tokens as representation of the person—their identity, reputation, and ongoing connections with fans, rather than just a bundle of content or artwork.
The protocol enables creators to develop a meaningful, on-chain history of support, trust, and community that persists beyond individual assets or pieces of content.
Every fan engagement—like leaving attestations (public testimonials and support signals)—acts as a building block for a living, on-chain relationship map.
This map isn’t just about ownership; it’s about the story, recognition, and trust that grow over time. As these interactions accumulate, a real, human connection is maintained and amplified, giving creators a true legacy.
While the core idea of RADIANT is to foster genuine creator-fan relationships on-chain, the underpinning smart contracts are designed for transparency, security, and flexibility—building an ecosystem that can evolve while grounded in trust.
This contract acts as the repository of all attestations, which represent public endorsements, support, or recognition from fans to creators. Each attestation stored here isn't just a message; it's an immutable record that builds the creator’s reputation over time. These attestations are referenced by other contracts and APIs to calculate scores, build relationship graphs, and influence reputation metrics, ensuring support signals are durable and trustworthy.
These modules work together to snapshot the dynamic landscape of creator-fan interactions. The ContextRegistry keeps track of connections, such as when a fan follows a creator or leaves an attestation. The Snapshot module periodically captures the state of these relationships, creating a historical record that can be queried later. This allows the protocol to analyze how relationships strengthen or weaken over time and provides context for scores or reputation metrics.
The resolver acts as the interpreter of on-chain data, translating raw contract states into user-friendly views of relationships—for example, showing which fans support a creator, how support has changed, or which tokens are linked to which identities. This contract ensures that applications and interfaces can fetch meaningful relationship graphs without parsing raw, complex blockchain data directly.
The system uses a series of smart contracts (like DefaultScoringStrategy and IScoringStrategy) that analyze the accumulated attestations and interactions. Instead of relying solely on token prices or trading volume, these contracts evaluate genuine supporter signals—attestations, consistency, engagement—to generate a community trust score. This dynamic scoring ensures that reputation reflects meaningful relationships, adding a human layer that elevates the token’s value beyond simple speculation.
This contract streamlines the process for fans to support creators with token transfers and attestations happening in a single, streamlined transaction. It preserves the on-chain history of support, which the other contracts then analyze and display, strengthening the relational narrative.
These smart contracts work together to create a relational layer built on trust, reputation, and ongoing interaction. Instead of mere assets traded for profit, creator tokens become anchors of real community ties and legacy. Every attestation, snapshot, and connection deepens the creator’s story—an authentic, on-chain legacy of human connection.
RADIANT is built on established standards and infrastructure, with a clear separation between the immutable protocol layer and the flexible application layer that developers can extend.
The core smart contracts define the protocol's rules and are built on:
RADIANT's contracts integrate with EAS canonical contracts for attestations. This provides a battle-tested foundation where attestations are cryptographically verifiable and immutable. The RelationalResolver contract indexes EAS attestations, ensuring compatibility with other EAS-based applications while adding RADIANT's relational indexing layer.
The IlluminationRegistry contract supports permit-based transactions, enabling gasless interactions. Fans can sign attestations off-chain, and relayers can submit them on-chain, reducing friction while maintaining security.
The protocol works with any ERC-20 creator token through the UpgradeRegistry. This ensures compatibility with existing token ecosystems, allowing creators to use tokens deployed through various platforms while participating in the relational layer.
All contracts use OpenZeppelin libraries for access control, pausability, and reentrancy protection, following established security practices.
Deployed on Base for low gas costs (approximately $0.01 per attestation) and fast confirmations (approximately 2 seconds), making on-chain relationships accessible without prohibitive costs.
While the protocol contracts define the immutable rules, developers can build flexible applications on top:
The protocol provides a TypeScript SDK (@influence-protocol/sdk) that wraps contract interactions, plus REST endpoints for teams that prefer HTTP. Developers can query relationship graphs, participant journeys, creator topologies, and influence metrics without parsing raw blockchain data.
All protocol events are indexed via The Graph, enabling efficient queries for analytics dashboards, discovery tools, and visualization layers. Developers can build entirely new interfaces that read from the same on-chain data.
Because the protocol is open and permissionless, developers can build governance systems, reputation layers, archive explorers, curation tools, and custom analytics—all reading from the same immutable contract state.
By separating the immutable protocol layer from the flexible application layer, RADIANT ensures that creator-fan relationships are durable and verifiable while giving developers the freedom to build the experiences their communities need.

Creator tokens are more than transactions—they’re signals of human transformation. Radiant builds the bridge via an open protocol so creators and fans can truly meet, relate, and grow together in decentralized communities.

beautiful
💛
we made Radiant for the believers https://paragraph.com/@radiant/understanding-radiant-building-relationships-not-just-assets
I do think scoping creator coins more intentionally to specific projects is a more sensible approach to the idea the idea of selling your whole existence as a “creator” is awkward and deflating
/metalabel A-corp seems more sound. Base could have codeveloped artist accounts instead of artist coins.
cc @yancey
Why does it feel strange?
It’s a form of uncollateralized lending!
say more
You invest in the creator up front via creator coins, then hopefully receive value later (in the form of creations that you enjoy, or barter able things like NFTs or rwas, other coins etc) which can cause the creator price to go up?
💯 we believe there’s more we can do w/ the tech enabling creators to bring humanity onchain while reducing the focus on being a commodity https://paragraph.com/@radiant/understanding-radiant-building-relationships-not-just-assets
who's got cool @base.base.eth miniapps we can use $jesse in and/or wants to build something new? i want new ways to create content, games, videos, remix, whatever you can dream and pair it to $jesse
Let me know when you find something, I'd be happy to combine my art with $jesse
Jesse! @productclank has been doing really great lately with the @superfluid campaign, and it would be amazing to have $jesse support the next round🙏 😍 tldr- I've used the app to build & grow itself by rewarding community to help tell it's story, create content, build features and grow! Community led growth in it's purity. https://farcaster.xyz/lior/0x1f47ccf3
Come approve @jesse.base.eth
Approved
@jesse.base.eth you could use $jesse to support builders on Base by allocating a portion of $jesse to reward creative use cases, and content Creators. this will help drive adoption, engagement, and innovation all in a community first way. Builders get visibility + incentives, andjesse becomes a catalyst for new ideas. It’s a perfect fit for the kind of remix energy you're calling for.
@jesse.base.eth, I think supporting builders on Base through $jesse would be a perfect match for what @productclank is already proving. ProductClank isn’t just running campaigns it’s creating a system where the community helps shape products, share ideas, create content, and actually drive growth from day one. It’s real, organic, and builder-first. Bringing $jesse into this model would help more builders launch, get feedback faster, and grow with the support of the Base ecosystem. It turns the community into an active part of the building process, not just spectators. This is exactly the direction builder ecosystems are moving toward open, collaborative, and community-driven.
lfg 🔥🔥🔥
Soo trueee
ProductClank is a platform that makes it easy to run campaigns, challenges, and community activations for Web3 projects. By allocating $jesse as incentives, you can create a more active ecosystem and support builder development on Base—similar to how Superfluid sponsors campaigns using $SUP
I agree 💯
True man you have to look oat this side
let's go chief @jesse.base.eth
What if $JESSE became a little boost for builders on Base? Nothing complicated… just a way to give people that extra nudge to ship new miniapps, tools, games, or ProductClank launches, the same way $SUP quietly powers creators on Superfluid. A small allocation of $JESSE here and there could spark campaigns, support new ideas, and get more people building around your ecosystem. It keeps the fun meme energy, but adds this cool “I see you — keep building” signal from you. No pressure, just feels like a natural way for $JESSE to help more people create. If you’re into it, I’d love to help kick something off. ⚡️🚀
1. Use $jesse to reward builders on Base Allocate part of the token supply as incentives—similar to how Superfluid uses $SUP to sponsor campaigns on ProductClank. 2. Sponsor ProductClank campaigns Create simple categories like: Early Builder Rewards Tooling & Community Tools Community Growth Support This helps distribute $jesse to active contributors. 3. Make $jesse a “builder fuel” Give small rewards for valid submissions, monthly bonuses for top contributors, and consistent incentives to keep builders engaged. 4. Keep it transparent Publish a clear plan: allocation, criteria, and timeline so the community understands how $jesse supports builders. 5. Collaborate with ProductClank Work with their team to design effective campaigns and get more visibility.
Supporting this proposal! Jesse can allocate a portion of $jesse to fund builder campaigns on ProductClank—simple, transparent, and high-impact.
Aprovr 🔥🔥🔥
Approve sir 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Approved
True bro
Drop me
really believe
Let's support and keep building
Give us your moooneyyy 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Right @jesse.base.eth
true legend
so true
belive it
@jesse.base.eth , I've used @productclank for not up to 2 weeks and I can confidently say it's worth looking into, as I know you are a firm believer of supporting creators, which is one of the core utility of @productclank. It's a no brainer to support their @superfluid campaign, as it aligns strongly with what you believe in. It's purely community ran, and that what I love most about it myself. I'm definitely anticipating your involvement!
👍
Strong partners, real progress, and a clear vision. The project is moving fast and building momentum. Big steps ahead.

You could use $jesse to sponsor a @gmfarcaster episode, and then we could use pods to reward people who collect the episode. Miniapps used: - gmfarcaster miniapp so people can watch the show inside of the base app - pods miniapp for people to claim $jesse as a reward when they collect the episode we’ll cover the $jesse launch on our show tomorrow regardless :) General sponsor info here if you or anyone else seeing this wants to learn more: mediakit.gmfarcaster.com
Adrienne I need to let you guys know about my auction site house You and @nounishprof can monetize your show even more by putting up your own auction and letting people bid to be one of your sponsers Would Love for you try it out ..will guarantee payment for you guys
We’ve considered this but the challenge is being unable to curate who sponsors. But we’ll check it out!
Sounds good! Sent you guys a private message Any questions just lmk!
We’ve placed $jesse in @ripsapp already, fund it in mystery packs and of course the base community pack! Based 💪 HTTPS://rips.app/pack/community/community-base
We already cooked with $jesse! And now that we have it built, we can feature any basepost as collectible content on @betrmint https://farcaster.xyz/toadyhawk.eth/0xa474a5e9
@betrmint gets BETR and BETR
We can join now?
Base feels like the only chain that’s actually alive. Every day something new drops. Love this energy.
You’re talking about something like that? A truly Based experience integrating the paymaster on its own token to allow users to make transactions without interruptions and explore everything? I actually built that when you launched the idea this summer for Zora. I turned it into a feature in my universe. It’s not ready yet, but I’ll invite you to join the game as soon as I’m done. And I’m almost done 🫡 (The ticker is $SPECU 😄 ! Underrated, but that’s normal I haven’t officially launched anything yet, we’re still exploring in a small group!)
Hi Jesse, We have just added $JESSE support to ALMO (@almoapp), our solution for helping creators increase their audience while rewarding users for their engagement. Creators are now able to promote their casts using $JESSE, and to incentivise its usage, we have set our platform fee to 0% for $jesse, thus redirecting 100% of the reward towards the users. We would be honoured to have you try out ALMO by promoting a cast and sharing with the Base community, using $JESSE. I stand at your disposal for any questions or inquiries. Thank you! https://almo.up.railway.app
wow @almoapp suport $jesse I think this is pretty good, @jesse.base.eth
😉 https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/bZa6K0SfsIst/almo-app
I’ll be making a -50% dicount for Based Degen mints to $jesse holders, plus add $jesse as an option to unlock the “aura” trait. Should be live tomorrow. https://www.thebaseddegens.xyz
I'd love to help you set up your $JESSE Creator Empire in our EmpireBuilder.world mini-app 🫡 You can ofc go and poke around yourself and... Create Empire button (upper right) then.. Use Existing Empire (will auto-populate your Zora Creator Coin + 3 other Content Coins, & 4 most recent Clankers), Select your Zora Creator Coin & Deploy Empire Can add other Zora Coins, other NFTs, other ERC 20 tokens, as booster/multipliers, so holders move up your leaderboard Can put any Base tokens into the Treasury and then Even, Weighted, or Raffle reward your choice of skew of your leaderboard 🫡 And a lot more! Heading to bed now (am in France currently) but will 100% schedule a demo session with you any time of my day 😉
It just makes sense! @jesse.base.eth said he wanted to make more stuff with this token, I'd use the Empire to create continuous value indexing new coins/NFTs and creating a leaderboard to distribute more $JESSSE!
He could easily pick out a number of his favourite personal content coins and make them boosters, as well as highlight some of his favourite artists (Established AND Up & Comers) as boosters to bring them attention and some liquidity as well Would be interesting to see what his top 250 Leaderboard would look like after a number of Boosters added into the mix And ofc for him we could also potentially roll out some expanded features (plus we're working on a lot of new interesting things too 😉)
I suggested using $Jesse as a gift for users on your birthday. They sent you a gift and received a reward in Jesse. Win-win. The idea was very good, but you didn't add your birthday. Soo yeah. Next year.
Make it a birthday coin in general :)
should use @dau to reward $jesse who buy featured creator coins / base mini apps
We couldn’t agree more! creator tokens allows us to reframe the narrative of use allowing us to build tech that include meaning and purpose our upcoming protocol will extend a creator’s token into onchain human connections vs simply betting on someone as a commodity https://paragraph.com/@radiant/understanding-radiant-building-relationships-not-just-assets
