1. Executive Summary

Radish is a secure, mobile-first application tailored for U.S. board-certified radiologists and radiology residents/fellows, enabling rapid, educational peer-to-peer case review. In a field plagued by isolation, burnout, and limited opportunities for quick, high-yield collaboration, Radish transforms routine reads into shared teaching moments through anonymously posted cases, private group chats, and verified community interactions.

At the core of Radish is Radcoin (RAD), a utility token that incentivizes meaningful engagement. Users earn RAD only when their comments on cases are rated for quality by the original poster. Rated points are converted into RAD, rewarding clinical insight and educational value. With a fixed total supply of 20 million RAD, a balanced distribution prioritizing community rewards (60%), and dynamic conversion rates, RAD supports sustainable participation.

This whitepaper outlines the Radish ecosystem, RAD's evolving role as a utility, and our vision for fostering a collaborative radiology network. By emphasizing education over commerce, Radish ensures user privacy through full anonymization and positions RAD as a flexible tool for professional growth. Join us in turning isolated expertise into a rewarded community.

2. Introduction

Vision and Mission

Radish Group, LLC envisions a world where radiologists—whether teleradiologists on overnight shifts, residents prepping for boards, or attendings tackling rare cases—can access instant, anonymous peer insights without bureaucratic hurdles. Our mission: Deliver a lightweight, compliant platform for educational case sharing that rewards participation and builds lasting professional networks.

Inspired by the radish root's rapid growth and resilience, Radish emerged from discussions among radiology peers seeking a "WhatsApp for rads" with gamified incentives. RAD, our utility token, powers this by recognizing contributions, ensuring reciprocity, and scaling engagement.

Market Context

Radiology faces a talent shortage, with over 1,500 unfilled positions annually in the U.S. (American College of Radiology data). Busy clinicians average 10,000 reads per year but lack efficient ways to discuss edge cases. Existing tools like grand rounds or forums are slow and formal; Radish offers bite-sized, mobile-first collaboration.

The global radiology market exceeds $30 billion, with telemedicine growing 25% YoY. By targeting 1,000–7,000 verified U.S. users initially, Radish taps a niche ripe for disruption, blending social dynamics with utility-driven rewards.

3. The Problem

Radiologists operate in high-stakes silos:

  • • Isolation and Burnout: 70% report burnout (RSNA surveys), exacerbated by solo reads and limited peer access.
  • • Inefficient Learning: Board prep and subspecialty mastery rely on sporadic conferences; quick second-looks are rare without formal consults.
  • • Privacy Barriers: Sharing cases risks exposure; full anonymization is essential.
  • • Low Engagement Incentives: Free forums suffer from spam; without rewards, quality feedback wanes.

These pain points stifle growth, with trainees needing 5–7 years to build confidence and attendings missing "zebra" discussions. A platform must be secure, fast, and motivating to bridge this gap.

4. The Radish Solution

Radish is an MVP app launching with core features for seamless education:

  • • Anonymously Posted Cases: Upload fully anonymized images with findings and teaching points. Post without identity or via verified profile; cases auto-purge after discussion.
  • • Verified Community: U.S. users auto-verified via NPI (radiologists) or program confirmation (trainees).
  • • Private & Public Feeds: Start in residency/fellowship groups (WhatsApp-inspired chats), expand to broader feeds for diverse input.
  • • Rating System: Posters rate comments (1–10 scale) to ensure reciprocity and filter noise.
  • • Rewards Dashboard: Track RAD earnings, ratings, and influence in a personalized interface with clean themes.

Built on Supabase infrastructure, mobile UX is optimized for fast, on-call use.

5. Radcoin: Utility and Functionality

What is Radcoin?

RAD is an ERC-20-inspired utility token deployed via a custom smart contract on the Polygon network (for scalability and low cost). It exists within Radish to gamify education:

Core Utility: Reward high-quality interactions, fostering a self-sustaining community.

How RAD Works

  1. 1. Earning RAD:
    • • Quality Comments Only: When you comment on a case, the original poster rates your insight (1–10 scale). Rated points are converted into RAD based on quality and impact.
  2. 2. Potential Future Uses:
    • • Access to potential CME-integrated learning pathways.
    • • Other ecosystem enhancements as the community evolves.
    • • Possible future transferability within the Radish ecosystem (subject to governance and regulatory approval).
  3. 3. Integration:
    • • Wallet: In-app, non-custodial; balances visible in dashboard.
    • • Anonymous Posts: Earn RAD without revealing identity, tying rewards to verified accounts post-rating.

RAD transforms passive scrolling into active learning, with 100% of earnings tied to quality.

6. Tokenomics

Token Details

  • • Symbol: RAD
  • • Total Supply: 20,000,000 (fixed; no inflation).
  • • Decimals: 18 (standard for precision).
  • • Contract: Custom smart contract audited for security; deployed on Polygon network.

Allocation

CategoryPercentageAmount (RAD)Vesting/Notes
Community Rewards60%12,000,000Linear release over 20 years via activity; daily caps.
Founder & Team15%3,000,00030-day cliff, 4-month linear vest; for development.
Community Reserve25%5,000,000For partnerships, sponsored cases, and ecosystem growth; governance-voted.

Distribution Mechanics

  • • Initial Mint: 100% at launch; 20% circulating immediately for rewards.
  • • Conversion: Rated points (from quality comments) convert to RAD at dynamic rates (e.g., 1:1 early; adjusts with user growth to sustain pool).
  • • Sustainability: At 1,000 users, ~600,000 RAD/year distributed; scales to 2.4M at 7,000 users, lasting 20+ years.

No ICO/IDO; all RAD earned in-app via quality contributions.

7. Ecosystem and Governance

Community Building

Radish starts with a core of 20–50 radiology peers for beta testing, expanding via society partnerships (e.g., RSNA). Sponsored cases (fiat-funded by pharma/equipment firms) add 20% to rewards pool without influencing content.

Governance

  • • Future Vision: Community-driven evolution of features and utilities.
  • • Monitoring: Platform reviews for compliance; users flag violations.

Technical Architecture

  • • Blockchain: Polygon network for low-gas, fast transactions.
  • • Security: End-to-end encryption; auto-purge of images after sessions.
  • • Scalability: Supabase backend; supports 10,000+ concurrent users.
