Radiant, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol established in 2022, aimed to unify liquidity across multiple blockchains. It experienced rapid growth, reaching a total value locked (TVL) of $386.8 million in December 2023. However, the protocol faced a severe setback when North Korea's Lazarus Group exploited it in October 2024. Following this breach, Radiant's TVL plummeted to $75 million, eventually collapsing to just $5 million within a month. In response, Radiant announced it would not fully shut down but instead enter a 'maintenance state.' This means its frontend will remain operational, allowing users to withdraw and manage their positions, but the decentralized autonomous organization will halt all development and upgrades. Users are encouraged to actively manage their risks during this transition. Additionally, the Radiant Capital (RDNT) token saw a 4.2% decline after the announcement, currently trading significantly below its peak of 58 cents from September 2022. Radiant will keep its remediation portal open to recover and return funds to affected users.
