THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol that lets users swap assets directly between blockchains without wrapping or using centralized exchanges. Its app layer ecosystem means developers can build decentralized apps that tap directly into liquidity across chains. Unlike most platforms, it offers real ownership of your assets, deep liquidity, and fast swaps in one seamless network.

TL;DR

Huginn AI generated 40+ merge requests in the latest release, now accounting for nearly half of all code changes on THORChain

Solana launched on mainnet but was quickly paused due to a minor chain client bug (an $8 double spend); patch expected within days

New $RUNE and $TCY logos proposed with unified branding, moving away from black backgrounds to white for a more trustworthy appearance

Chad is close to hiring 1-2 new developers, with interviews ongoing this week

XMR integration remains a 2026 priority but is the most technically complex chain to add due to ring signatures and multi-sig challenges
