{% hint style="success" %}
Radial has delivered everything based on its initial vision. Despite the turbulence in the Solidly code, Radial has managed to fix some of those external issues. The docs have been updated to reflect the [upgraded protocol features](https://medium.com/@radial.finance/introducing-radial-3bdf85fc7ac2). Radial Protocol is open-source and is run by the RDL community as a public good for the Fantom ecosystem.
{% endhint %}

Radial is a Convex-inspired coordination protocol for [Solidly](https://github.com/solidlyexchange/solidly) which enables LPs to receive boosted rewards while eliminating the need to lock veSOLID themselves. The protocol also acts as a governance coordination tool and is currently live on Fantom network.&#x20;

* **Solidly LPs looking for higher yield**: get higher yield by receiving boosted SOLID rewards. Radial Protocol uses its own SOLID protocol share ([granted by Solidly](https://coin98.net/solidly-ve33-and-andre-game) at the inception of the protocol and accrued later) to direct emissions into certain pools based on how communities vote to distribute the voting power.&#x20;
* **RDL holders & RDL/wFTM LPs**: use RDL as a utility token to vote for Solidly protocol emissions and direct SOLID rewards to the communities and pools of their choice. For that, a Convex-like implementation was made to align holders with liquidity providers. As a result, you can earn RDL emissions for vote-locking either your RDL or RDL/wFTM Solidly LP!
* **Solidly ecosystem**: use Radial as a coordination tool to enable governance incentives so that your asset can be whitelisted on Solidly in a smooth fashion, [and more](https://medium.com/@radial.finance/introducing-radial-3bdf85fc7ac2).&#x20;
