THORChain

What used to feel like roadmap talk is now playing out in real time. THORChain is stepping into one of its most exciting phases yet. Monero ($XMR) is finally within reach. After years of complexity, it’s now targeting mainnet in the next 1-2 months. At the same time, Zcash ($ZEC) is on track for an end-of-April launch, while Bittensor ($TAO) continues to be built alongside them. Activity on the network is picking up too. Rapid swaps are gaining serious traction, with a $1.6M single swap and already approaching 50% of total volume. That’s real usage, not just noise. Behind the scenes, things are becoming more efficient. Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) is set to start deepening pools using system income, reducing the need to rely heavily on external LPs. And Huginn, THORChain’s AI agent, is helping speed things up by fixing bugs, reviewing code, and keeping development moving.

@naruto11eth THORChain. Every day, every chain.

serious question: what crypto app are YOU using everyday as a crypto native?

Fair DeFi opportunities should be accessible to everyone. That is what we are building on Rujira, an omnichain DeFi hub where native assets can do more than just sit in a wallet. Let’s dive into some of the upcoming earning opportunities on Rujira 🧵👇

@SahilBloom Bridges are fine for crypto.

What’s something people think is good advice that’s actually bad advice?

THORChain has no block rewards. Every dollar of yield distributed to nodes and liquidity providers comes from real swap fees paid by real users. There isn’t any inflation nor token printing to subsidise activity that isn't there. This matters for $RUNE specifically. $RUNE sits in every single liquidity pool on the network. Every $BTC pool, every $ETH pool, every asset THORChain supports. It is the settlement layer connecting them all. More chains, more pools, more structural demand for $RUNE. On top of that, 5% of all network fees are used to burn $RUNE daily, reducing supply over time. No vesting schedules, no locked allocations. No bad surprises. And as the pool gets deeper and chains get integrated, $RUNE becomes more and more central to the system. New chains mean new communities reaching decentralised trading for the first time. That translates directly into swaps, fees, and $RUNE burn. The demand surface grows while the supply keeps shrinking.

@Cointelegraph Real permissionless infrastructure.

What narrative will push the next bull run?

Work continues to validating $XMR on @thorchain Here ensuring that churning + migration works with Monero's nuances. onwards

The most requested integration in THORChain history is closer than you think.
