Normal THORChain swaps happen only at the very end of each block, in a fixed order. This makes it (nearly) impossible to do perfect, instant arbitrage between the base layer and app layer. Rujira's "Virtualization Strategy" solves this problem. When you want to swap (e.g. USDC → BTC), Rujira lends you the BTC immediately from its lending pool. You get your tokens right away. At the end of the block, Rujira does the actual swap on THORChain and settles everything. They charge a small premium for this service and take on a tiny bit of risk. Because Rujira is constantly doing this, it creates automatic arbitrage every single block (when there's enough price deviation). It keeps the prices on THORChain more balanced and accurate. Users get better prices (less slippage) than before. Swaps become much faster (especially when combined with Rapid Swaps). Rujira stakers share in the revenue generated by this flow.

@TailThatWagsDog Is this useable by an audience?

Like yesterday, I'm posting nextSignals Centaur signaling for the morning session. A few things to note, aside from the system's accuracy: • The AI tape reading, based on SPX options sentiment data, has yet - at this writing - to signal a sell. Yesterday's EOD Weekly signal indicated a close below $6575.08 today. • The thing I love ... honestly ... more than the buy/sell signaling accuracy is the algorithm's reassuring "Hold". Despite the fluctuations in spot, every 10 minutes I am told to sit tight. The prevailing conditions (in this case) remain long. • The signals you see in my examples are flow-based and forward looking ... i.e. there is no looking backward. These are real. As I can get time, I'll create a brief workflow document that explains what it takes to produce an AI-Human Hybrid model like this. There is no magic bullet ... no single prompt ... no getting around the Centaur.

@MessariCrypto @THORChain Spreads on THORchain are about to tighten also. Should see the next uptick in volume after that. Other very cool things coming soon too

. @THORChain enables direct swaps between native assets like BTC and ETH across different blockchains without wrapped tokens or centralized exchanges. We’ve launched a THORChain Spotlight Dashboard on Messari. Track liquidity, trading activity, token performance, and ecosystem growth in one place to better understand how the protocol is evolving.

@RujiraNetwork @MessariCrypto @THORChain Custom Concentrated Liquidity. Gud innovation

@MessariCrypto @THORChain We are the App Layer on THORChain L1. We will soon launch our Custom Concentrated Liquidity (CCL) strategy to greatly improve liquidity, deliver tighter spreads, and create new earning opportunities for everyone in the crypto space. Curious how?👇🧵 x.com/RujiraNetwork/…

@unstoppablebyhs @THORChain @THORCommunity

Dear @THORChain and @THORCommunity 👋 As cumulative swap volume on the native interface approaches 10-digit figures, here’s a quick update on improvements we’ve recently shipped to: swap.thorchain.org 1) Streaming swaps Better execution for larger swaps using THORChain’s streaming mechanism. 2) Permalinks Share or bookmark exact swap configurations (ex: BTC → USDT routes). 3) Context-based error handling No global alerts. Issues now appear only when relevant to the chain you’re interacting with. Edge-case swaps now show explicit warnings before execution. 4) Limit swaps Now you're able to post limit orders. As many orders as upi need. note: It's temporarily disabled. Will go live once an API level bug is resolved. 5) In progress - major UI upgrade - bonding / unbonding for RUNE All high & medium priority bugs fixed + hundreds of small UI improvements. Huge thanks to everyone reporting issues and helping improve the interface 🤝

@THORChain @coingecko Been wondering that for years. Just figured the listings were "pay-to-play"

Quick question for @CoinGecko: what's the definition of a Bitcoin DEX? Your rankings show ChangeNOW at #1 with 99.8% market share. But ChangeNOW is a custodial aggregator, not a decentralised exchange. Magic Eden is listed but trades Runes NFTs, not Bitcoin swaps. THORChain has processed $118 billion in native $BTC swaps and isn't on the list at all. If protocols with custody or validators can be listed as 'decentralised,' why isn't THORChain there with 100+ independent node operators securing native Bitcoin swaps?

@IncomeSharks The news bots got it as soon as the news of the storm hit the wire. It shot up 30% that day

Wish I could set a reminder to automatically buy Natural Gas before a giant snow storm or winter freeze. It's one of those boring but incredibly consistent trades.

@eridanus_dev The Masters want you in debt. The system is designed that way

There are some days when years of progress seems to happen all at once The integration of @vultisig's brand new SDK into @RujiraNetwork is exactly one of those moments This is the UX unlock that will make crypto accessible to everyone With just a web browser, an email and a password, you can access DeFi with a cross-chain account that is secure, recoverable, self-custodied, and most importantly, trivial to set up

@familiarcow 100% beef cow

Call it proof of work

@CFGI_Overseer @CFGI_Token I remember the guy that built a mini-rollercoaster in his backyard. Simply because it was cool. Never sold tickets, never made any money. It actually cost him a lot of money. But it was awesome and it put a smile on his kid's face. $CFGI is just cool The work goes on!

@AaluxxMyth @Maya_Protocol Can confirm. 10 out of 10, would recommend

@Maya_Protocol Liquidity Auction’s launch of $CACAO

@DarrelFrater If I don't know the email, the team perform a manual search for it (for a $10 fee). What if I don't know who I need to reach? Will the team help me figure that out (for a fee)?

My new product, MeetAnyone.co is kinda like this but better. Thank you to everyone that has tested it and provided feedback! It truly means the world to me.

@DarrelFrater I just want to meet my brother Darrel Frater. How much of a tip do I need to leave to get a response from him?

@shockrocket1 Yeah the email will come from us. You provide tip to the person you are trying to reach as a small incentive for them to respond. We handle the follow up to increase likelihood of response.

@DarrelFrater Does the email that MeetAnyone sends come from a generic "intros@meetanyone.com" address? Or does MeetAnyone have a network, they find someone in their network that is within "1 degree" of the person I'm trying to meet, and then that person sends the email?

@DarrelFrater So I provide MeetAnyone with the email of the person I'm trying to reach (which could be literally anyone). MeetAnyone then reaches out to them on my behalf. How is a cold email from MeetAnyone better than a cold email from me?

@IncomeSharks Gonna be one of those alt seasons that lasts a day

Who would have thought that the catalyst for alt-season would be the stock market to drop 4%.

Historically, this has been a VERY good indication that it's time to DCA for a long-term HODL, positional, and even a swing trade position (ask anyone that has done some deep-dive analysis on $CFGI's data/indicators). I'll let you in on another little secret....MAEVE (who also uses this data) is building long positions on her 4-hour timeframe...and she doesn't miss on the 4h 👀

@1984_is_today Light work

@paradisemint What other traits do you look for? (either in the manager or the fund itself)

Just one incoming dividend yesterday. Mondays are normally pretty quiet on dividends. This is a weekly pay. Just a 10K test position on this fund. Too early to really comment on success or failure. I do like the fund manager. He is very responsive and communicates with his base and that is normally a good sign. Tuesday and Wednesday are very active days with lots of dividends coming in. We also have TSLP dividend coming this week on Thursday.
