# Radiant on BASE chain

## Points of interest for devs

---

### RDNT to be deployed on BASE through OFT ✅
Development of RDNT on BASE(OFT) is ongoing already, so backend team doesn't have anything to do with it.

### Tenderly ✅
Tenderly works on BASE so we can use it for simulations

### The Graph ✅

The graph is supported on BASE - https://thegraph.com/docs/en/developing/supported-networks/

### CiC is no longer needed 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Angle will be handling emissions for Radiant, so CiC can be excluded from deployment needs.

However, if we decide to remove it from the code completely for BASE, this might take a bit of our time, since there are some dependencies for CiC in places, for ex: deployment scripts, MFD and others.

### Creating multisigs, rotating deployers to BASE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
This is more of organisational effort, shouldn't take too long

### Which DEX to use for Radiant on BASE? 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
It's safe to assume that Radiant is seeking for the best composition of deep liquidity + good potential yields.

#### We have a good old Balancer that we can utilize for that. Here are several pros:
1. Balancer has a core pools system, which they use to incentivize pools with bribes on HH. RDNT was always a money printing machine for Balancer and it incentivized RDNT pools heavily. Have a look at [this table](https://github.com/BalancerMaxis/protocol_fee_allocator/blob/main/fee_allocator/allocations/incentives_2024-03-28_2024-04-11.csv).
You can see, that RDNT-WETH pools are generating fees from trades, balancer earns money from trades, but then some of those fees are converted into USDC and RDNT pools are bribed, which attract more liquidity. Radiant can try to execute the same strategy on BASE too.
2. We have a good connection with Balancer BD(Maxis team). Note, that RDNT is still a top pool in Balancer DEX on Arbitrum, so we have a good position to negotiate RDNT launch with Balancer team
3. AURA (which is like CVX but for Balancer) can also create RDNT boosted pools on AURA, attracting more TVL and giving better APY%
4. No need to reinvent the wheel and we can basically reuse all the code we already have instead of writing new contracts to support some other DEX like **velodrome**

#### Let's talk about cons:
- Balancer TVL and fees on base are very low. However, if executed properly, Radiant can bring more TVL and take a large portion of bribes from Balancer on BASE

#### Uniswap is on BASE too
Pros:
- It's Uniswap

Cons:
- Liquidity is very thin too. Don't let [152b TVL on BASE](https://info.uniswap.org/#/base/) fool you, it's just one giant pool - WETH / CONSENSYS that holds $151.22b of TVL out of 152b. However, even if we subtract this pool value from total Uniswap TVL on base, it will be significantly larger than Balancer
- A need to write new code to support Uniswap. BSC deployment is using pancake swap, which is a fork of Uni, but some adjustments for BASE Uniswap will be needed in the code
