THORChain is Better Than CEX

A decentralized network of 93 nodes secure the protocol.
Resilient
THORChain has been battle-hardened since 2019, surviving bull and bear markets.
Open-Source
Swaps are verifiable end-to-end. All transactions are executed on-chain. Nothing off-chain.
Wield the Power of the Network
THORChain is the world’s largest decentralized exchange (DEX) for trading Bitcoin. It enables users to swap native cryptocurrencies across different blockchains directly from their self-custody wallets, without relying on centralized exchanges or wrapped tokens. THORChain is a programmable layer 1 protocol with the ability to write smart contracts on it to create different decentralized applications (dApps).
No. THORChain does not require accounts, registration, or identity verification. Users interact with the network directly from their self-custody wallets. Some third-party interfaces that provide access to THORChain may have their own requirements, but the protocol itself does not.
Swaps on THORChain involve three types of fees. You pay the gas fee on the source network when sending your transaction. THORChain then deducts the destination network gas fee and a liquidity fee from your swap output. Total fees vary based on network conditions, swap size, and pool depth.
THORChain currently supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Ledger, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, TRON, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Avalanche, Cosmos, and Base. Additional blockchains will be added over time.

Avalanche (AVAX, SOL, USDC, USDT)
