<p>The other day, the team behind THORChain shared a post on their X account, addressing the decentralization of the ecosystem.</p> 
<p>They noted that <a href="https://thorchain.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">THORChain</a> is decentralized in the sense that it is completely run by its mostly anonymous contributors. Also, the team shared that the community has found an issue, and a NO was able to contain the problem.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"> 
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">THORChain is decentralised. </p>

<p>On May 6, THORChain also shared a post detailing the project’s goal which is providing decentralized liquidity. According to the post, THORChain is able to do the following:</p> 
<ul> 
 <li>Attract as much TVL as possible</li> 
 <li>Protect the TVL with as much decentralized security as possible</li> 
 <li>Monetize the TVL with as much volume as possible</li> 
</ul>

 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">The goal of <a href="https://twitter.com/THORChain?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@THORChain</a> is to provide decentralised liquidity. </p> 
 <p>It will do this:<br>1) Attract as much TVL as possible <br>2) Protect that TVL with as much decentralised security as possible <br>3) Monetise that TVL as much volume as possible. </p> 
 <p>Repeat until TC is bigger than the biggest…</p> 
 <p>— JPTHOR (ACCEL) (@jpthor89) <a href="https://twitter.com/jpthor89/status/1787230606390390954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">May 5, 2024</a></p>
</blockquote> 
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> 
<p>THORChain’s CEO continued in a thread and noted that regarding the TVL, ThorChain needs to provide a compelling place for assets with security and yield. The project must also solve the UX problems regarding providing liquidity.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"> 
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">1 – TVL</p> 
 <p>TC needs to provide a compelling place for assets with security from (2) and yield from (3). </p> 
 <p>TC must solve the UX problems of providing liquidity – it must be “1-click deposit, 1 yield parameter, 1 click withdraw”</p> 
 <p>TC has delivered this with Savers. And soon RUNEPool.</p> 
 <p>— JPTHOR (ACCEL) (@jpthor89) <a href="https://twitter.com/jpthor89/status/1787230609699688574?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">May 5, 2024</a></p>
</blockquote> 
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> 
<p>He also noted that THORChain has to ensure that the TVL is protected at all times economically (via $bond), functionally (by node tools) and procedurally (by testing/Stagenet/THORSec).</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"> 
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">2 – Security </p> 
 <p>TC must ensure the TVL is always protected:<br>– economically via <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24bond&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">$bond</a><br>– functionally by node tools<br>– procedurally by testing/Stagenet/THORSec</p> 
 <p>Things like fast churns, anon nodes, low delegation and more add to this.</p> 
 <p>— JPTHOR (ACCEL) (@jpthor89) <a href="https://twitter.com/jpthor89/status/1787230612216320040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">May 5, 2024</a></p>
</blockquote> 
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> 
<p>Regarding the subject of monetization, he revealed that TC must monetize the TVL to earn yield to pay for it and security. He highlighted that there’s a need for as many swaps as possible.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"> 
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">3 – Monetisation. </p> 
 <p>TC must monetise that TVL to earn yield to pay for it and Security. </p> 
 <p>Basically as many swaps as possible:<br>– integrations<br>– arb features (trade accounts)<br>– streaming swaps<br>– Memoless<br>– order books<br>– perps</p>

<h2 id="what-is-thorchain-rune">What is THORChain (RUNE)?</h2> 
<p>THORChain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that allows users to easily exchange crypto across various networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, without losing full custody of their assets along the way.</p> 
<p>Users can swap one asset for another in a permissionless setting without having to rely on order books to source liquidity. The market prices are maintained via the ratio of assets in a pool.</p> 
<p>The native utility token of the THORChain platform is RUNE. This is used as the base currency in the ecosystem for platform governance and security as part of THORChain’s Sybil resistance mechanisms.</p> 
<p>The THORChain nodes have to commit a minimum of 300k RUNE to participate in its rotating consensus process.</p> 
<p>THORChain was founded via an initial DEX offering, which launched via the Binance DEX in July 2019.</p>
