THORChain (ERC20) (RUNE)

THORChain (ERC20), with ticker RUNE, is a decentralized cross-chain infrastructure enabling swaps between blockchain networks such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and more. It is powered by its native token RUNE, which accrues value as more assets are deposited into the network. Users can easily swap their native assets between supported chains or deposit their assets to earn yield from swaps.

Designed to minimize trust, THORChain provides trust-minimized infrastructure for secure cross-chain communication and settlement. It is a scalable and economically secure platform for dozens of exchanges to process swaps for their users. With native asset security, users can swap assets without relying on wrapped tokens and maintain custody of their funds. Liquidity providers can also provide liquidity to THORChain and earn from swap fees without exposure to RUNE.

Secured by the native token RUNE, THORChain’s node operators bond RUNE to enter the network, ensuring the safety of funds. The platform’s strong foundation for cross-chain communication enables more than just swaps, with upcoming features including synthetic assets, single-sided yield, protocol-owned liquidity, lending, and order book functionality. Users and developers interested in THORChain can find more information, tutorials, and community support through its various channels like Discord, documentation, and whitepapers.
