What is Thorchain?

Decentralized Cross-Chain Infrastructure

THORChain is a network that facilitates native asset settlement between Bitcoin , Ethereum , BNB Chain , Avalanche , Cosmos Hub , Dogecoin , Bitcoin Cash & Litecoin

THORChain is secured by its native token, RUNE, which deterministically accrues value as more assets are deposited into the network.

Anyone can use THORChain to swap native assets between any supported chains or deposit their assets to earn yield from swaps.

FEATURES

Native Asset Security

Swap assets without relying on wrapped tokens. Provide liquidity and maintain custody.

Native Assets

THORChain allows native cross-chain swaps without wrapped or pegged assets. Users don’t need RUNE to pay for transactions. The only requirement is a transaction on the first chain.

Non-Custodial

Swappers always maintain self-custody of their funds, so they are always in control, including directly from a hardware wallet. Liquidity providers funds are always solvent, visible, and verifiable on the blockchain - secured by the open source code.

Single Asset Liquidity

Savers Vaults allow anyone to provide liquidity to THORChain and earn from swap fees without exposure to RUNE.

Secured by RUNE

Node operators bond RUNE to enter the network. Their bonds are worth more than the assets they secure. THORChain’s open source code keeps funds safe.
