Secure node ops and core dev for @THORChain—the industry's largest decentralized, native asset backbone.
Joined February 2021
Nine Realms is excited to announce a new function that's critical to strengthening @THORChain‘s security posture. Meet THORSec. A new team working alongside the core devs—as part of the project—to improve the protocol development process. Why is THORSec needed? 👇.

Yes, @THORChain moved ~2% of global Bitcoin spot volume last weekend. Native. Unwrapped. Bitcoin. Hands down, the biggest rail in the industry. We think it makes sense for all major wallets to integrate it for their users. If you're a crypto user—let your wallets know.

With all the $DOGE fanfare, you likely missed that a sizable $wBTC pool also went live on @THORChain. What does this mean?. It means that for the first time, large $wBTC holders can now exit directly into native $BTC without being forced through a KYC'd gatekeeper. $RUNE.

Update: Litecoin trading is now enabled on @THORChain. As soon as the LTC pool has the correct market price, adding and removing liquidity will be enabled. Expect Bitcoin this week.

Here's one more gift as the holidays hit: a few details about @THORChain’s next phase of scaling liquidity and network connections. As a network, we will now begin pushing the caps above 50%, allowing the incentive pendulum to take effect. What does this mean for $RUNE?.

$380m in volume for @THORChain today. $201m in native $BTC volume over a $122m pool. Native asset backbone.
$BTC trading above 46K, first 300M volume day on @THORChain in 2024, and @THORChain is on track to make a monthly all-time high in volume. $RUNE to double digits this month?

To clear up any uncertainty: The Terra integration is complete. We're now working with @TerraSCV to review the integration before pushing things. Once we receive the green light and handle any comments, $UST and $LUNA will be live on @THORChain.
@0xSmith @samscrypto_ Terrra integration is completed, just awaiting final sign off from the Terraform Labs security team afaik (and that's supposed to be on the docket for early next week I think?).

.@THORChain needs permanent and compounding liquidity to accelerate its Liquidity Black Hole thesis. Inspired by @Olympus_DAO and @TokenReactor, Nine Realms believes that Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL) is a defining primitive of DeFi 2.0.
💰🌀LIQUIDITY BLACK HOLE THEORY 🌀💰. There exists a token-based AMM design 🛠️. That threatens to create a liquidity blackhole 🕳️. Pulling in assets from everywhere 🌀. CEXs, DEXs, Cold Storage, etc. 🏛️. I'll break it down 👇.

To the @Uniswap team: @THORChain can make this happen today.
It's not a matter of if @Uniswap will enable #BTC swaps, but rather a question of when they'll do so. #RUNE . Thanks for the clip @ErikVoorhees

Food for thought: A @CoinbaseWallet + @THORChain integration would create the first decentralized path for users to swap to/from cbBTC, propagating cbBTC and speeding its on-chain adoption. This route would also move volume. Like-like swaps (eg: WBTC<>BTC) on @THORChain today.

We've refined the process. Integrating @THORChain is fast, and the revenues for partners are material. Oh, and turns out users **want** Native BTC. If you're a wallet team, DM us to get the ball rolling. If you know a wallet or team that should be integrating, tag 'em.
ANN: THORChain Integration Lead Fees.- $5k in RUNE : info site.- $10k in RUNE : wallet 10k-100k MAU.- $20k in RUNE : wallet >100k MAU. Terms:.- Must do all business dev.- Fee paid out once integration live.- Can hand over to @ninerealms_cap once closed.

$ATOM rolling out to mainnet, $AVAX up next. Aggregators going live means that @THORChain will make native $BTC available to DEXs in all of its connected ecosystems. This is TC bringing its native liquidity to where the users are. Becomes a meaningful volume driver in time.

It isn't readily apparent, but @THORChain's $DOGE pool going is TC's largest ecosystem coordination to date. Multiple distributed teams collaborating across the network, core library, and application stack. Together we're honing a playbook for increased @THORChain connectivity.

In April @THORChain's native $BTC savings vault absorbed another 54 $BTC, growing from 639 => 693 $BTC. ~8.5% increase in a single month. Savings is proving to be sticky.

cc @CoinbaseWallet . Why not enable users with NATIVE $BTC swaps through your main self-custody product? . There's zero need to force the market into wrapped assets when theres a decentralized, native rail that's available.
Streaming swaps for the $BTC <> $ETH trade is amazingly competitive with Coinbase. $100k swaps on Thorchain going through at the same price execution that you'd see on Coinbase Advanced. And the Coinbase taker fees (below) are comparable to TC interface affiliate fees. $RUNE

EVERY wallet should offer @THORChain as a decentralized, native $BTC rail for their users. Remove the dependency on $BTC IOUs (WBTC etc.). Remove the centralized services. And gain new volume/flows and a material revenue stream. We'll make the integration quick. Let's talk.
Self-custody Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets. consider this.

Take a moment to appreciate this recent moment of execution at the @THORChain network level—something we've been aiming for since inception:. - Event hits the network.- Subset of operators/participants flag + action it.- Multiple network participants swarm.- De-risk and continue.
Does anyone have a connect to Kraken Ops Team for suspicious wallet activity?. Fairly urgent. Tag myself or @Pluto9r if you can put us in touch.

We're building @THORChain to become the industry's largest, decentralized native asset backbone. Something DeFi teams can build on, DEXs can tap for liquidity, and products can depend on. Mainnet is a major step, and unlocks integrations that have been waiting for this event.
❗️Announcing: Mainnet. Since April 2021, THORChain has been hardening under its beta label, Multichain Chaosnet, which will now transition to Mainnet. Read: (🧵1/8).

What do most people misunderstand about @THORChain?. It is profitable based on its core function. In today's market. $RUNE.
Liquidity fee on @THORChain is expected to exceed block rewards for the 2nd month in a row!. August's liquidity fee to block rewards ratio - 𝟓𝟏.𝟔%. This is despite the introduction of streaming swaps which greatly reduced liquidity fees. @flipsidecrypto dashboard link :

There is: @THORChain swaps millions in/out of native BTC daily. WBTC<>BTC rail is established and growing. You can make this trade today on @TrustWallet , @xdefi_wallet, @EdgeWallet, @THORSwap, @THORWalletDEX and others.
there's still no easy (and ideally low-trust/trustless) way to get from WBTC to actual BTC, or vice versa, in 2023. we need to do better.

The @THORChain native $BTC savings vault is nearly 85% full. This is the only decentralized, in-kind native yield product for Bitcoin, and and it is scaling week over week. Wallets and top tier protocols are in flight. If you're not, now's the time to talk.
6
17
138
We'll say it again: Nearly everyone talking about yield and $BTC, means a wrapped or pegged BTC IOU. @THORChain means native, unwrapped, unbridged $BTC, and in-kind, native yield. The solBTC depeg in <24 hours should wake you up to this difference. TC is: Native. Asset. Rails.
5
30
133
We've got a network to scale and a top tier ecosystem to grow. And it will take new levels of coordination to deliver on the vision of @THORChain as one of crypto's largest, native asset backbones. But we're here to make this real—and so are you. $RUNE.
I admire the order @ninerealms_cap brought to the @THORChain ecosystem.

Next step is handling 3-5% of BTC's daily global spot volume with that liquidity. Not a pipe dream. It's happening on @THORChain.

Some Jan @THORChain metrics:.- Unit $BTC up 8.5%.- Unit $ETH up 14.5%.- Volume up 49.3%. This is what's happening beneath the noise. The industry needs native asset rails, and we're delivering.

$RUNE / $UST / $LUNA : expect these pools live by EOM.
I believe: . 1) The future is interchain .2) Interchain liquidity is better decentralized.3) Building interchain liquidity is hard, and there will be stumbles along the way.4) @THORChain is the most logical expression of interchain liq to date. $RUNE 🤝 🌕.

We're actively working on new tools for @THORChain anomaly detection that will be shared. Those paying attention can see last week's events as a galvanizing function for the builders of THORChain's ecosystem.
.@THORChain is adding a "catch-all" protection against exploits. The network self monitors for insolvency conditions & autonomously halts itself when it detects discrepancy. This gives the community time to analyze what happened, and decide how the insolvency should be rectified.

Our target is to make @THORChain's base layer boring in all the right ways.
1. Deleverage the Base Layer. Make it simple, boring, and reliable. 2. Revive the LP experience with Active Yield and 0% synth utilization. 3. Get the codebase updated to the latest Cosmos SDK version. 4. Enable the App Layer and get the @RujiraNetwork team working on the.

The market will realize it as the crypto game plays out, but @THORChain is building critical industry infrastructure. Decentralized, native BTC/ETH/BSC/AVAX/etc. swaps—at scale—in the most popular apps and venues.
1/2.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.

Something to note: October and November volumes account for ~1/3 of @THORChain's lifetime volume. December is on pace as well. There is work to do: **Every** wallet needs a @THORChain native BTC rail.

21
131
Single-sided vaults provide sustainable yield on native assets without needing to hand over custody. This is a breakthrough product for the market at a critical time that will bootstrap the network's next leg of scaling liquidity.
Once single-sided LP "savings vault" is launched on THORChain, it will be possible to create an open-source front-end with best-in-class UX that can beat CeFi alternatives. Real, safe L1 yield. The holy grail. Let's get it. $RUNE.

We weren't kidding: @THORChain is becoming the industry's native asset rail. TC isn't a single-cycle player. TC is years of groundwork to deliver at the largest scales.
Want to see the impact of all these integrations?. Thorchain user numbers have been growing ridiculously consistently for the past 2 years. And with @Ledger @phantom and more big integrations coming soon, Thorchain is not slowing down. h/t @ninerealms_cap and @SwapKitPowered

This is not binary—it is about risk and sequencing. THORFi is not being scrapped because the financial products TC can enable best in class. But it will come to the forefront once some core items are landed. Mainnet is on the horizon. Here's what this means. 1/2 $RUNE.
THORChain Devs will focus only on L1 swaps and stability/security between now and Planned Obsolescence. For now all THORFi efforts will be ceased. The community may wish to revisit it in future.
