Radiant Isolated Zone
Radiant Isolated Zone (RIZ) is Radiant's isolated lending infrastructure. Each market operates independently, with its own risk parameters, collateral asset, and loan asset.
RIZ markets do not share liquidity with Core markets or with each other. Risk is fully contained within each market.
Each market is defined by exactly two assets:
Collateral
Deposited to back a borrow. Cannot be borrowed.
Loan asset
Supplied to earn yield, or borrowed against collateral.
Markets are identified in the format Collateral / Loan throughout the app.
Example: In the GMX / USDC market, GMX is the collateral and USDC is the loan asset. You can deposit GMX to borrow USDC, or deposit USDC to earn supply yield.
Each market has its own health factor, liquidation parameters, and interest rate, independent from all other markets.
Radiant runs two parallel lending architectures by design:
Infrastructure
Aave-based
Morpho contract architecture
Liquidity model
Shared pools
Fully isolated
Cross-collateralization
Yes
No
Asset scope
Blue-chip assets
Broader asset range
Risk containment
Shared across pool
Per-market
The two systems are complementary. Core handles shared liquidity for established assets. RIZ handles isolated exposure for a wider range of assets without introducing systemic risk.
RIZ is currently live on Arbitrum. Deployments on Base, BNB Chain, and Ethereum Mainnet are being rolled out progressively.

RIZ v1 markets are being phased out. Most positions will need to be migrated manually to RIZ v2 or Core.
