THORChain

rune

THORChain (RUNE) is a leading decentralized liquidity protocol enabling native asset settlement and seamless cross-chain swaps without reliance on wrapped or pegged tokens. Built as a Layer 1 blockchain using the Cosmos-SDK and CometBFT consensus, THORChain allows users to exchange digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Avalanche directly, maintaining full self-custody. Its native token, RUNE coins, is integral to the network's economic security, serving as a settlement asset in all liquidity pools and requiring node operators, referred to as THORChain nodes, to bond RUNE. This unique design provides trust-minimized infrastructure, empowering a wide ecosystem of products and wallet integrations. The protocol’s proof-of-stake mechanism incentivizes security and liquidity, distributing block rewards to active participants. THORChain has grown into a critical bridge governance token and a significant project within the Multicoin Capital and Delphi Ventures portfolios.
