Big integration for THORChain. Fireblocks means institutions can start running THORNodes, bonding, and holding RUNE. Single key solutions don't cut it for institutions. This is a key milestone for the maturity of the network

🚧Scheduled pause for Cosmos Hub (ATOM) and Bitcoin Cash on THORChain 🚧 Please beware of two upcoming network forks for Cosmos hub and Bitcoin Cash occurring tomorrow: Bitcoin Cash:

@ 12pm UTC Cosmos Hub:

⚠️THORChain will be scheduled to halt each chain ~1 hour before their respective forks ⚠️ Bitcoin Cash will be unhalted after devs have verified stability post-fork. Cosmos will be resumed once node operators have updated to latest version. Other chains and routes will not be affected.

📢 Bitcoin Asia Hong Kong | 8-9 May, 2024 Happy Bitcoin Halving! 🎉 Hot on the heels of the Halving and Hong Kong Bitcoin ETF approval, we're pleased to announce that THORSwap + SwapKit will be a key sponsor and partner of Bitcoin Asia, Hong Kong, May 9-10.

Update on THORChain Lending pause THORChain Lending services on THORSwap are currently paused due to TOR pool depth being shallower than expected. A proposed [THORChain update](https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/merge_requests/3450) aims to correct this issue, bringing the TOR pool depth back to normal levels. Due to the current contracted TOR pool depth, the internal swaps required to open/close lending positions cannot be streamed. Thus, while the lending quotes are accurate, they present the likelihood of >significant slippage<. THORSwap is committed to maintaining transparency and safeguarding users, lending will likely remain paused until the update fix is implemented and verified.

Quick Post-mortem of the WBTC Arb Incident TC Treasury refunded the failed swap (70 BTC direct to swapper) within the first 2 hours post incident. Root cause identified the issue and fixes are inbound -- a vault had run out of ETH gas, so failed to process the tx (fixed); the WBTC was deemed an "unrecoverable refund" and kept in the pool (it should have been moved to outside the pool, but inside the vault). TC Treasury is the largest LP of the WBTC pool; and thus captured the majority of the slip based fees of the event; roughly around 50BTC balance change across the event. The other 20 BTC was captured via arbs. Arbs are mostly friendly to the protocol so this incident capitalised them; They are still requested to return their profits minus 10%. * Work is underway to add more auto-pause when major slip-events are detected in large pools. * Community has a bounty and a process (tag @nodeoperator) if seeing any suspicious tx now. * Additional work to add more bots to monitor and flag txs to community. No further recovery will be sought from participants; thanks for your engagement. TC is a complex protocol; community is first and last line of defence. Better a small incident now to apply levels of fixes than a large incident in the years ahead. Other L1 DEX protocols - please apply these fixes to your protocols as well. Onwards.

📣 Ethereum trading has been resumed on THORChain 🎊

Standing $50k Bounty To Call a Pause There is now a standing $50k bounty to any community member that is first to find a suspicious transaction and ask a node to make pause "recommend pause now" "can a node pause please" etc False positives not paid; but will not attract criticism. > halt early, halt often The protocol is complex and there are many edge cases devs simply cannot plan for. The community is the first and last line of defence.

🚨🚨🚨 Attention! Trading is halted on the ETH chain! Refrain from using it until the trading is restarted! 🚨🚨🚨

ATOM trading is back!

Gaia Paused Trading on TC Update

⚠️ THORChain Network Functions Paused for Maintenance THORChain has temporarily halted all native transactions (swaps involving RUNE, loans, THORNames and synth transactions) due to a security report related to a new feature which has not been activated yet. This pre-emptive precautionary step means that for a while, THORChain transactions won't be possible, affecting trading and arbitrage. As a result, THORChain has been disabled on THORSwap as a cross-chain provider while an assessment of the situation is conducted. L1 swaps may be re-enabled on THORSwap (excluding Rune) with tweaked streaming swaps settings (slower) if arbitrage bots keep the prices of assets in line with the market without native THORChain functions enabled. 👉 RUNE LP actions, Earn (Savers vaults) operations, synthetic asset send/mint/redeem, THORName and Lending will remain paused until THORChain resumes normal operations. ✅ All other providers are functioning normally, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, stable coins and most erc20 tokens.

Cosmos Hub Hard Fork Maintenance Pause Cosmos (ATOM) is currently halted on THORChain due a chain hardfork. All ATOM functions are paused (swap/LP/Earn/send etc) at this time. Other chains and functions are unaffected, thank you for your patience.

⚠️ BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2) THORChain Ragnarok ⚠️ This is a final warning to all users to withdraw any BEP2 liquidity on THORChain pools/savers vaults (earn). > From THORChain devs: "The Ragnarok process [sunsetting all BEP2 pools and removing the Beacon Chain integration) is best effort. There is no guarantee of success when forcibly returning funds to users. Users need to withdraw before the Ragnarok starts to guarantee successful return of their funds." This pertains to Beacon Chain LPs only (wallet address starts with bnb...). If your address starts with 0x (BNB Smart Chain) then no action is needed.

Congrats to the Giddy team for shipping their THORChain integration for BTC swaps

@VL0991 @NexumBlock by the way, this is confirmed legit:

V1.128 released to mainnet

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!

V1.128 ETA

ADR12 has passed. CR 200% already implemented. 6pm RUNE burn will be in v1.128. ETA possibly 1-3 weeks.

$7.3m worth still in BEP2 pools. 17 days to Ragnarok. Withdraw now!!

It’s time. BEP2 Ragnarok soon!

New proposal just dropped: RUNEVault 2.0. Deposit RUNE, earn RUNE. Co-invest with PoL across the entire protocol. Minimal cognitive burden. Derisks the protocol. Let's get it.

What is TC's plan to onboard the next $1bn in TVL? Savers + PoL (small tweak needed). Let's dig in 🧵

Unique swappers count on @THORChain continues to rise steadily. Up only for over a year now. Swap volume also on track to match or even exceed last months' ~$5b high. We're looking sold. Patiently waiting for more wallet and exchange integrations. h/t @ninerealms_cap

It looks like the volume for @THORChain is set to reach an all time high this month. $Rune keeps dipping, i'll just keep buying anon.

come here quick pal, some math 1.6billy * 52 = 84bil on the year, 10bps average taking, that's 84mil revs, multiplied by 20x PE (standard stuff), that's $1.7bn rock solid vals. Now let's 100x these numbers. Let's get it!

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*. Tag your favourite wallet below. Get started in 5 mins, cc @ninerealms_cap

TC's primary KPIs are 1) Volume 2) Users 3) TVL And it is absolutely killing those. Onwards.

Did you know Defispot allows you to choose between Price Optimized Swaps and Time Optimized Swaps? Swap by breaking a large transaction into multiple sub-swaps over time for better rates, or Swap instantly at the prevailing rate for speed, potentially sacrificing the best rate.

What's the one feature you wish to see added to our crypto wallet app to make your experience even better?

1/8 A THREAD 🧵 How far has @THORChain come since $RUNE hit an all-time high price of $20.87 on May 19, 2021? Many just look at the price of $RUNE, which currently sits at $5.1. We need to look beyond that... Shoutout to @SpotWiggum & @flipsidecrypto for the data

Big spaces upcoming next week with fellow cross chain titans @THORChain & @Maya_Protocol ! When: 16th Jan 17h00 CET / 11h00 EST Where: /i/spaces/1MYxNoDvzLpKw Tune in, its gonna be a big one!
