What Is THORChain?

 THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol. Which facilitates traders to exchange various cryptocurrency assets across a wide range of networks without losing full custody of their assets in the process.  Moreover, the network allows traders to swap crypto assets in a permissionless way, without the use of order books to source liquidity.

THORChain ecosystem has its own native token RUNE. The token is available across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum as an ERC-20 token and Binance chain as a BEP-20 token. Basically, THORChain is a Proof-Of-Stake blockchain, aimed to serve basically four important functions within the network’s ecosystem: Security, Governance, Rewards, and Liquidity. 

Network validators stake RUNE to ensure the security of the network. In the liquidity pools, every token is bonded to RUNE, which creates the required liquidity to conduct swaps. Liquidity providers and validators can claim their rewards in the form of RUNE tokens. In addition to this, the THORChain platform allows the traders to govern their assets without any middleman and without extra charges.

Fundamental Analysis

As per the reports THORChain has no founder, no CEO, and no directors. The development measures will be taken care of by Gitlab. An official Twitter handle of THORChain stated that self-organized developers work through Gitlab, and know better what to build.

Initially, the THORChain platform was funded via an initial DEX offering (IDO) which launched with the Binance DEX in July 2019. Its mainnet was launched in January 2021, but a multi-chain upgrade is currently scheduled for 2021. 

The BiFrost Protocol (BFT) enables interoperability between chains. Interoperability acts as the basics of the ecosystem without which the entire ecosystem will fail. BFT confirms the trust and security of the platform and avoids double-spending and other malicious behaviours. THORChain solves blockchain scalability issues via the Yggdrasil protocol. Aesir protocol serves as the governance token, it ensures a cost-effective on-chain governance mechanism.
