Making @THORChain even more decentralized, together with @RUNEBondApp one $RUNE at a time. Node Cockpit gives node operators every tool they need to navigate THORChain, and opens bonding to everyone. So proud of the @THORWallet team for shipping this 🔥

Which DeFi tokens capture their business? I mapped it out here 👇 Tokenomics are evolving, asset quality is rising, DeFi is booming, and protocols are doing billions in volume & revenue How do today's tokens stack up? Take a look See below for descriptions & methodology

One of the biggest $ZEC swaps on THORChain so far: 0.365 $BTC for 24.7 $ZEC, about $29.6K. The $ZEC pool held 22.9 $ZEC when the swap started. The swapper received more than the pool held. THORChain streamed it: 1,300 sub-swaps over 1h58, with arbitrageurs refilling the pool between them. The pool never dropped below 22.2 $ZEC. THORChain's fee came to about 0.22%, and the app the swapper used added 1.25%. About 15% of the deposit came back. The swapper had set a price limit, and midway through $ZEC got 5% more expensive in the pool. Streaming checks that limit on every sub-swap. 197 of them would have delivered less $ZEC than the limit allowed, so THORChain skipped them and refunded 0.065 $BTC instead of filling at a worse price. Once the price came back, the rest of the swap went through. $ZEC is still in a progressive rollout. The pool is kept small while the integration is tested on mainnet, and liquidity deepens once that goes well. With streaming, a thin pool means a longer wait, not a worse price.

Best day yet for @THORChain x @SwapKitPowered RevShare. $2K in credits accrued on Oct 26, led by @Ledger's $3.90M volume. Discounted swaps: •⁠ ⁠$186 in credits spent •⁠ ⁠$9.2K in fees •⁠ ⁠49.6x the credits spent 🔥

Node operators, four votes need you on THORChain right now: ADR-030: hand day-to-day node management to another address and keep your bonded RUNE in cold storage. 71 of 74 votes. ADR-032: pledge never to touch anyone's bond over how they vote or what they say. 68 of 74. Solana payouts that can't time out, ready for when SOL signing resumes. 71 of 74. New loans and DCA on @RujiraNetwork, blocked since v3.21. 53 of 74. If you run a node, cast your vote ⚡

What if trading native Bitcoin felt like using a CEX, but remained decentralized? Rujira Trade brings an onchain orderbook and advanced order types to BTC and other major native assets. More control. Transparent rules. No centralized custodian. Here is how it works 👇🧵

.@THORChain halted for 39 days after its own exploit, but wouldn’t stop the Bitget hacker. Contradiction? @CBarraford answers @CamiRusso: “THORChain validators will reach consensus to protect the protocol they’re securing, but they won’t agree on halting the chain for a reason that doesn’t threaten the chain’s security.” Full episode 👇

Burning takes $RUNE out of circulation and stops there. Protocol-Owned Liquidity takes it out of circulation too, and keeps it working. Every block, 20% of THORChain's system income goes into the pool that earned the most fees for its depth over the last 3 days. Arbs pair the RUNE with the token on the other side, so the protocol ends up holding RUNE and $ZEC, $TRX or whatever else swappers want most. That position does three things a burned token can't. -It earns swap fees. -It deepens the pool, so swaps get better prices. -And it buys the dip: when $RUNE drops against the paired token, the position trades part of that token for more RUNE, automatically.
