We could really use your help to promote SwapKit (and thus THORChain’s crosschain swaps) to ELLIPAL and Coin98! Both already have swaps, so they know they can earn money from it. Need to tackle it from the decentralised/ no-KYC / no geo-restrictions/ no swapping limit angle :) They know we exist, they just need a push from the community! ELLIPAL:

Thanks a lot guys!!

Quick summary of events on 9-Jan-2025: An OG Dev initiated a timeout (via Admin Mimir) for all Savers & Lending withdrawals for six months. After 6.5 hours, three nodes reversed those settings via Node Mimir. All Savers & Lending withdrawals are enabled at the moment. There were some Lending Withdrawals (around 10% of BTC and 1% of ETH collateral) within 12 hours since, so this led to some of the price action. But obviously price action is also / much more affected by broader market demand/supply/sentiment. Please keep all price talk on Traders chat. Note that Admin Mimir has already limited functionality, and will be fully removed in upcoming update. Cc @Sweetman15 @IsmailAxhami @CharlesHarperValero

Announcement: All Savers deposits temporarily halted (in preparation for Base, which will have no Savers/Synths at all). Withdrawal still as normal.

Hey guys! We are starting a new initiative where we are reaching out to various wallets and interfaces that have not yet integrated crosschain swapping features. We are going to be targeting new groups of wallets every week and we would love to get our communities involved! We have had GREAT success with this before and now we want to make it a regular and structured strategy! These efforts will make our ecosystem thrive even faster as we continue to pile on the integrations! So get in here and LFG! 🔥

Reminder: Chain upgrade is scheduled for tomorrow. No action needs to be taken by any user Node operators are asked to be online during the fork time to ensure a timely upgrade & minimal service disruption. Interfaces and wallets must update their "chain-id" else they will experience additional maintenance time. After the upgrade is complete, THORChain will support Bitcoin Taproot addresses

My dear THORChain/Kujira/Maya Family, I am VERY HAPPY to announce our new THORChain Community Group on Session went LIVE today! Download the Session app, push the "+" button, select "Join Community" and use the following link to gain entry: https://sogs.thorchain.network/thorchain-community?public_key=87ab246e87787968c15473815da116c621b0b17d96e13f5dda15e49ebd9cbe47 Messages on Session are encrypted so anonymity is preserved--you don't need to provide any info about yourself in order to make an account. The code is also open-source. A communication redundancy is very important to the success of a decentralized system. I hope to see many of you in there! :)

I'm starting a THORChain community on session as a redundancy. If you want in, download the app and DM me. Here is my ID: 056e5fa32b68f7b8a9fc408c4c14a493a56bc80eaff1eeaf8b743b0ebcffe7907d If I understand correctly, there is no "sharable" link, which means people must add other people directly (someone please correct me if I am wrong), this means growth starts off slow, but quickly increases in an exponential manner. This probably will keep out many scammers.

Kujira is curently a Cosmos L1 but will move to TC to become its applications layer. It is a full defi suite including an orderbook, swapping, lending+borrowing and its own unique liquidations protocol. All new loans on TC will be moved to this. Rev will be split evenly between Rune and Kuji stakers.

Would be interested to hear about ThorChads think about the Kuji plan moving forward? A lot of value to be driven in both directions:

"WHERE MUH COINZ?" Wait times of over >2 hours CAN and WILL happen. Take your TX ID and use this tracker. There WILL BE DELAYS today and probably the next few days as well with the state of the market. If your swap was less than 3 hours ago, please wait until after that time. The outbound delay is a security feature and is completely normal! :)

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

⚠️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.

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.
