v1.128 likely to be released in 1.5 days time!
Thereafter, maybe another 1-2 days for all the nodes to adopt.
Then, it's 60m RUNE burnt, Lending cap opened, and Trade Accounts enabled!
Why no RUNE staking?
Answer: RUNE is not designed just for letting RUNE holders “earn more”.
RUNE is laser focused for securing the THORChain network and enabling deep liquidity.
RUNE is not (just) a get-rich-quick sh*tcoin.

I do think myself as somewhat “lucky” to have somehow fallen into this crypto rabbit hole in 2020, and experiencing my first bull in 2021.
But the current one? This is 100% blood, sweat & tears. So damn glad to be among all the THORChads and crypto-bros/sis here! 💚⚡️🍫
A nice guy just popped into Discord with wide-eyed wonder:
“Can I really swap my ETH to native BTC (not wBTC) on this DEX, and can I simply just put my Ledg*r BTC address as the receipient?”
YES, YOU CAN, kind ser!!! Since Apr-2021! 🚀🚀🚀
@THORChain
and all of a sudden you can throw 1800 eth over to btc in a single txn with basically no fees, literally no risk, no IPs even. It's like heaveeen lmfaao
@THORChain
v1.128 has garnered the most “WEN?” vs any other updates in recent memory.
Has been pushed to Stagenet already. I expect will land on Mainnet within 1 day or so; then another 1-2 days for all nodes to adopt.

Developer Discord is the only "developer" discord I've ever been involved in. Super interesting to be just a fly on the wall. Deep debates about ILP, Synths cap, POL, Lending on one side... and obscure edge-cases bug hunting and patching on the other...

Just wanna shoutout & appreciate again all the
@THORChain
,
@ninerealms_cap
& community devs working on TC. Being somewhat in the trenches with you folks, I can definitely see the blood, sweat & tears (& lots of laughter too, I’m sure) keeping the protocol safe & running.
How does
@THORChain
works?
1- It's a cross-chain AMM, LP style. In simple terms, think about a pool with native BTC + native ETH (without being constrained by both assets needing to be on the same chain).
Lending utilisation back to >90%.
This is pre 60m RUNE burn which should happen within next week or two, then it’s another 20+m RUNE worth of collateral space.
Zero interest, zero liquidation, zero expiry, 50% LTV.
LFG!!! 💚⚡️
BTC & ETH LPs APRs especially have been hurting due to price action:
But it works both way, it was leveraged down, now it’s gonna leverage up!

There are claims of a potential vulnerability with a THORChain dependency that may affect THORChain.
Out of an abundance of caution, trading has been paused while an investigation is undertaken.
The validity of the claim is currently being assessed and
The
@THORChain
community has been part of my daily life for around 3 years now. Amazing bunch of peeps, largely anonymous, but genuine and inspired. Yes, some came for the $$$, but most stayed for the tech, and especially the real change that we are bringing to the world. 💚⚡️
The TC community is full of individuals who are passionate about self-custody, decentralization, security, & cross-chain exchange
THORChain would not be possible without the dedicated Chads who constantly ship and educate, building the future without centralized custodians 👏
Thanks for the

$RUNE shout out,

But please please PLEASE don’t recommend folks to buy $RUNE on Bybit! Heard that they only allow withdrawals in the deprecated BEP2-RUNE; which no longer has any value in the TC network.
Buy on TC interfaces directly…
The top affiliate wallet on TC is making over $1m/mo in affiliate fees (trending $1.5m/mo).
That's ~$20m ARR, from users *willing to pay* by providing a service *they need*.

Dev Discord “mainnet-info” channel is my new favourite past-time: hey look, another huge Streaming Swap, this time 399 ETH to BTC! 🚀🚀🚀
I appreciate the

Devs (both backend and frontends) for launching Lending.
Take it as a beta launch.
A couple of hiccups.
Be careful of slippage.
Definitely some selling the news.
But Valhalla ain’t built in a day.
Let it bake. 💚⚡️
A short note to appreciate
@THORChain
Devs and Nodes for smoothly executing the BEP2 Ragnarok.
A much under appreciated, thankless task; with minimal benefit except to make good as much as possible the LP depositors (who should have withdrawn themselves anyway)…

“Why

$RUNE price up?”
My answer is still the same as per linked tweet.
Note to self: Zoom out. Still early days. Many folks still hurting from buying at $10, $20. Won’t be straight back up.
Heads down, keep building, educating, encouraging, informing. Stay humble.

A majority of PTSD folks will never ever again believe in significant real yield APR for a Savings product.

It’s ok.

nodes have indicated a strong likelihood to sunset all grandfathered ILP, to remove another layer of long term unbounded risk.
To let any grandfathered LP positions still with ILP to consider their situation, Devs have called for a one month notice period.

$RUNE is an amazing design.

Quick primer about
@THORChain
$RUNE supply.
Max Total: 500m; max that can ever exist, used to be 1b, but reduced to 500m in the very early days of TC.
The APRs are STRONGLY influenced by the recent $RUNE price pump.
And, they are backward looking, never a guarantee for future performance.
For folks who enter now, if $RUNE price do not continue the trajectory, the APR will be lower.
💚⚡️
Thorchain's LPs are absolutely printing. I haven't seen such insanely high APRs in >10M deep pools on any top 5 DEX before.
BTC: 364%
ETH: 221%
USDT: 730%
USDC 264%
This tells me much more capital is inbound to take advantage of these yields.
As more capital comes in,

No matter how much you think the BTC halving will influence the price, sentiment, wider crypto, etc…
It WAS the 2020 halving which initially pique my attention, and led me into this 4+ year rabbit hole…
Happy Halving Day, folks!!! 🚀🚀🚀
There are not many protocols for which users do NOT need to hold the token to use the protocol…
Yet, the token IS integral to the functioning & security of the protocol.
Amazingly elegant design.

First WL buyer (assuming diamond hands) reached $71k (7900x) from $9, at today’s ATH of $0.00024.
Kyber limit buyer reached $888k (250x) from $3.5k.

post-mortem.
The very first WL buyer paid $9 for 296b $WEWE. At ATH 2 days ago, gain was 1780x worth $16.6k. At time of writing, gain is 960x at $8.9k. Amazing multiplier gains, but limited to max $9 WL buy.
Some folks ask why need
@THORChain
or
@Maya_Protocol
when there are other “no-KYC CEX or custodial swap services” available…
Here’s why…
Happens more often than you think…
💚⚡️🍫
DO NOT USE
@ChangeNOW_io
After holding my $120,000 worth of BTC for over a week they forced me to KYC.
I did, confirmed that KYC is legit and now this...
They want me to prove where I bought the BTC, transactions, ID, platform etc
HOW TF do I do that when I havent bought
Things may look illogical without knowing the history:
- Why BEP2, not BSC?
Ans: BSC was launched after BEPSwap
- Why BCH, LTC & DOGE?
Ans: All are BTC forks, similar code, mature chains, and all coded right at genesis of MCCN
@THORChain
To all those who answered Magic Eden, Simpleswap, ChangeNow, Changelly, etc in his comments:
THEY ARE ALL CENTRALIZED (for their cross-chain swap service)!
Too many horror stories of shotgun KYC.
@THORChain
&
@Maya_Protocol
FTW! actual decentralized cross-chain swaps. 💚⚡️🍫
First, we offered non-KYC, non-custodial alternate vs CEX.
“But, it’s too expensive!!!”
Now we offer cheaper execution vs CEX.

Been answering questions about
@THORChain
lending:
- the LPs are NOT depleted when loans are opened or redeemed
- collateral is just swapped THROUGH the pools (not added/taken from it)
- it’s like the normal swaps happening all day - does this also deplete the pools? No!
1/2
Some expected
@THORChain
Lending to have as impactful a launch as Streaming Swaps.
Streaming Swaps was a no-brainer. Users only waited few more minutes/hours to get much better price execution, even for million dollar swaps.
