THORChain Weekly Live hosted live on X Spaces by FamiliarCow (Nine Realms), Chad Barraford (THORChain Technical Lead), and Chad THOReau (THORSwap). Dive into the latest updates and discussion about THORChain - the decentralized Layer 1 liquidity network.

In this podcast, Kenton and Denny will discuss THORChain marketing updates, XMR blacklisting, and welcome the guest while continuing the libertarian conversation. Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! 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.

In this podcast, we start with a THORChain marketing update, followed by a Monero update, arbitrage, and the opt-in chain client, joined by Boone, who voices governance concerns. Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! TL;DR $XMR integration is targeting version 3.18, with the PR nearly ready to merge and chaosnet testing next. $DOT and $TAO are also being built as substrate chain clients for the same release. Chad proposed a dynamic fee model that adjusts swap fees per THORName and per trading pair using statistical analysis, allowing THORChain to be price-competitive where it needs to be without sacrificing revenue from captive interfaces. Opt-in chain client security is being developed so node operators can choose which chains to run, enabling THORChain to scale to many more chains without requiring every validator to run every daemon. The dev fund address change (ADR25) is stuck at 36% approval. Nine Realms wraps up this month, so nodes need to vote immediately to stop funds going to an inactive team. CoinGecko and Gecko Terminal now have live THORChain trading data across all pairs.

In this podcast, Kenton, Denny, and Boone discuss the technical details of adding Monero, along with freedom, social knowledge platforms, libertarianism, and more. Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! TL;DR Community member Boone used AI coding tools (OpenAI Codex) to wire Luke Parker's audited FROST Rust package (from @kayabaNerve) to THORNode, creating a working $XMR chain client in roughly two months Chad confirmed the hard part is done. $XMR on THORChain has never been more likely, though the team urges caution: expect a shallow pool, possible chain pauses, and failed swaps early on Critical PSA: If you swap from $XMR without including a return address in the memo, your funds are unrecoverable. THORChain cannot return Monero without one. swap.thorchain.org (STO) just passed $1 billion in cumulative volume, a major milestone for THORChain's own frontend The protocol-owned liquidity (POL) discussion is heating up, with both Kenton and Boone favoring 20% of system income to seed up to 50 new pools You can find Rayyyk's full write-up on blog: https://blog.thorchain.org/how-boone-used-ai-to-build-thorchains-monero-integration/ https://x.com/BooneW https://boonewheeler.com/boonetools/ THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol that lets users swap assets directly between blockchains without wrapping or using centralized exchanges.

This episode covers THORChain latest developments, including Monero and Bittensor integration, AI in blockchain, rapid swaps update, POL, and ADR23. Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! TL;DR Monero ($XMR) is targeting mainnet in 1-2 months. Boone's chain client PR passed simulation tests. Chad is reviewing the codebase and expects it merged in ~2 weeks, with stagenet/chaosnet testing to follow. Bittensor ($TAO) is being developed in parallel, with Chad aiming to ship both $XMR and $TAO on mainnet around the same time. Zcash ($ZEC) is targeting mainnet by end of April, with StarSquid leading the implementation. Rapid swaps hit a $1.6M single swap and are now approaching 50% of total THORChain volume. Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) is shipping in release 3.18, with an algorithmic system to deploy system income into the pools that need it most.

Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! https://x.com/markjeffrey https://stillcorecapital.com/ TL;DR: Preliminary talks have begun between THORChain and BitTensor about adding a native $TAO pool, enabling permissionless $BTC-to-$TAO swaps for the first time Mark Jeffrey (Stillcore Capital partner, serial entrepreneur) calls BitTensor "the third great coin" alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum for making mining programmable BitTensor subnets are producing AI products at 1/10 the cost of centralized alternatives, with Templar's Covenant-72B catching the attention of Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang $TAO mirrors Bitcoin's tokenomics (21 million cap, halving schedule, fair launch) and is currently around $300, tracking Bitcoin's 2013 price trajectory Swap interface beta now includes custom memo, bonding, and $TCY staking, with the new website targeting April 17 You can find Rayyyk's full write-up on X: https://x.com/raynalytics/status/2041165663969198420 THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol that lets users swap assets directly between blockchains without wrapping or using centralized exchanges.

In this podcast, Chad goes over the most recent developments, like the adoption of rapid swaps, voting for POL, adding Monero with Boone's help, the latest AI developments, and his new three ideas! Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! TL;DR: Community member @BooneW has built a working Monero chain client using AI tools and a FROST signing implementation. Chad says $XMR could be added to THORChain within months, possibly the next chain after Zcash. Nodes will soon vote directly on what percentage of system income goes to Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL), replacing the old incentive pendulum and ADR24 proposal. Chad shared three forward-looking ideas he's researching: concentrated liquidity powered by the app layer's oracle system, flash loans for arbitrageurs, and a decentralized UI deployment platform. @Maya_Protocol agreed to test 2-second block times first as a "canary chain" before THORChain implements the change. A stablecoin fee experiment may lower stable-to-stable fees to 1-2 bips to capture volume from NEAR, which does ~$100M daily in stablecoin swaps alone.
