Exchanges
A pivotal part of Radium’s strategy is the push to get onto more exchanges. Finding the right exchanges and getting listed is a tough and complex job. There are several important criteria to consider when deciding which exchanges to apply to get a coin onto, and this task cannot be underestimated. We need to take into consideration factors such as pricing, liquidity, security, reputation, customer service and the time it can take to get listed.
We have applied to more than 20 reputable outlets; we are awaiting replies from some and negotiating with others. We do significant due diligence on every exchange we want Radium to be listed on and will not compromise on this. There are two types of exchange that we find unsuitable:
- Some ask ridiculously high listing fees which are not necessarily linked to the performance and reliability of the exchange.
- Some use unethical practices like pump & dump schemes and wash trading. Radium does not wish to be a part of this.

Legal Memorandum
Radium was officially declared a non-security asset.

This document provides evidence to suggest that our coin is not a security, but rather a utility asset which ensures that we do not have to comply with SEC regulations when it comes to securities. Furthermore, we are now eligible to be listed with entities whom have opted not to support securities for fear of being penalized.

Stay tuned for a significant update to our roadmap, coming very, very soon.
Zero Client Beta Release
The Radium Zero Client Beta was released this past January in conjunction with our participation at Synapse. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a significant part of our 2018 development cycle. In fact, it was conceptualized in late 2017 into early 2018 after the need for blockchain accessibility was identified. Stay tuned for far more information/documentation over the coming weeks. And in the interim, why not give it a test run.

So what is V Label?
Whilst not purporting to evaluate or make judgements about project content, by awarding V Label status, Binance is confirming that the information and content shown on the project’s profile page on Binance Info is maintained by the project team itself, demonstrating that the exchange has verified the authenticity of the project team.
