🚨 New Deep Dive: Bonding isn’t just a checkbox on THORChain — it’s the economic engine securing real BTC, ETH, and more. While most users interact with the protocol by providing liquidity or using Savers, the role of node operators and the capital they bond underpin the entire architecture. THORChain isn't securing an internal ledger, it's securing external, exogenous assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum using native vaults, with no third-party custody or wrapping. This makes the validator model fundamentally distinct. As JPThor puts it: “It’s not just validating a network - it’s securing exogenous capital” 🧵 Read the full breakdown on why bonding is the bedrock of THORChain’s economic security model: https://x.com/THORChain/status/1920597285185958254

Protocol Spotlight #2: LeoDex has been flying under the radar, but that’s about to change! During the $TCY launch, they've been gaining praise and respect for a UX that just works. It's clean, fast, built for native swaps, without clutter and friction. LeoDex routes real assets across THORChain, Maya, Chainflip & Rango. And they’re just getting started. Read all about it here 👇 https://x.com/THORChain/status/1920219835704742225

We empathize with THORFi/LP users affected (many of us mods are also affected) by the THORFi wind-down. We understand that many need a place to express your feelings. We will not censor such “genuine” posts. But there is a line between “THORFi Users expressing feelings” vs “Intentional/Baseless FUD”. Yes, THORChain as a protocol is permissionless; but that doesn’t mean this Telegram is totally permissionless. It is illogical to expect this Telegram to just accept intentional/baseless FUD.  Folks are free to criticize and debate TC designs, direction, etc. But again, there is a line between constructive criticism vs intentional/baseless FUD. Moving forward, we will enforce mutes/bans more rigorously towards any “Intentional/Baseless FUD”.

Alright guys, we've said all the words multiple times regarding the THORChain swapping situation. 😄 We're having a space on Saturday (USA Timezone) 12 est. Let's have a discussion and figure this out! 🤝 Please share this space and please attend! We are problem solvers, so let's do what we do best. ;) https://x.com/KentonC137/status/1895255018347078073?s=19

A proposal has passed for the unwinding of ThorFi (Savers & Lending) https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/4801556.

I wanted to clarify this on the space: https://t.me/thorchain_org/701878

We got this guys, please share this post by Kenton. We did THORChain spaces for like 3.5 hours. We covered absolutely everything. If you want the end watch the 2nd space. https://x.com/KentonC137/status/1885915557591121927?s=19

Interesting proposal by THORWallet dev https://x.com/crypto_XZ/status/1885753443601547275?s=19

Ninerelams update : https://x.com/ninerealms_cap/status/1885743387862556981?s=19

The TLDR for TCB 1. Snapshot Debt in USD Terms: o Calculate debt at the time of the pause in USD. o Create and distribute a claim token called $tusd at a 1:1 asset-to-token ratio, claimable by deposit wallets. Coverting the debit. 2. Unwind Module & Revenue Allocation: o Remove the current burn mechanism. o Allocate 10% of system income to a new Unwind Module to market buy $tusd claims regularly. 3. Retire ThorFi: o Convert all synthetic assets to LP units and lock them. o Force exit RunePool participants by selling the associated POL position back to RUNE. o Gradually retire the POL over a 60-day period, effectively acting as a $RUNE buy from the pools. 4. Create a Claim Process & Orderbook: o Implement a claim interface where creditors can claim their $tusd by signing with their native Thorchain wallet. o Establish an orderbook for creditors to sell their claims, serving both primary and secondary markets. 5. Market Buy Manager: o Automate hourly market purchases of claims from the orderbook using Unwind Module funds. 6. Code Simplification & Protocol Cleanup: o Once there is over $1M in unclaimed market order bids for a month, burn any remaining $tusd tokens. o Remove all associated code for claims, $tusd tokens, POL, and ThorFi to prevent future maintenance and security risks. 7. Final Protocol Transformation: o Thorchain returns to being exclusively a DEX with no financial instruments at the protocol layer. JP also has a proposal at https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/issues/2143. Differences between TCB and JP's proposal 1. Not lottery based 2. Users get price at time of freeze 3. Force ejects all RUNEPoolers 4. No discounts on offer 5. Includes changes to LP design (move away from passive LPing to a V3 model) and block time to boost revenue 6. Forces POL back into reserve, taking that RUNE off market You can see more proposals in the dev discord.
