Community member Boone used AI coding tools to wire Luke Parker's FROST package to THORNode, making $XMR on THORChain more likely than ever. Here's what happened and what to expect next.
$XMR Is Coming: Monero on THORChain in 1-2 Months
Monero on THORChain is real. Chad confirmed mainnet in 1-2 months, plus $TAO in parallel, $ZEC by end of April, and protocol-owned liquidity shipping in 3.18.
ADR023 - Changing RUNE FDV
THORChain’s ADR023 proposes a restructuring of the RUNE supply framework with a clear objective: simplify tokenomics and improve how the asset is perceived and evaluated. As the protocol has evolved, multiple legacy mechanisms have remained embedded in the supply structure. These no longer reflect how THORChain operates today. Instead,
State of the Network - March 2026
Welcome to the March edition! We track security, liquidity, volume, fees, user activity, and supply across THORChain. March delivered more of the same restraint. Volume came in at $801M, down again from February's $882M, as crypto markets spent the month attempting to find a base after a brutal
Tokenisation, RWAs, and the Future of THORChain
Tokenisation is going to happen. In my view, it is not really a question of if. It is a question of how open the system will be, how much control governments and institutions will try to keep, and what kind of infrastructure ends up underneath it all. The reason tokenisation
Founder Spotlight - Chad Barraford
1) What was “THE MOMENT” that made you leave traditional tech and go all-in on crypto? There was a very clear aha moment for me. In 2017, after I sold almost everything I owned and decided to travel the world, I met two guys in my first month who were

Protocol Upgrade - V3.16.0
Bear market or not, THORChain builders keep shipping. Merge Requests drop faster than the Fed prints bills. In V3.16.0, THORChain delivers 94 merged MRs! Many of these upgrades work quietly under the hood focusing on strengthening stability, resilience, and security across the network. But a few will surprise
State of the Network - February 2026
Welcome to the February edition. This month, we track security, liquidity, volume, fees, user activity, and supply across THORChain. February delivered mixed signals. Volume tracked toward $882M through month end, down from January's $1.07B, following the broader consolidation in the market. But February also brought meaningful developments
New THORChain Logos
This article will walk you through the decision process the marketing team went through to update THORChain's logos. These logos are not final but we do feel strongly this is the way to go. We want to run this by the community first to get constructive feedback before
Protocol Spotlight - THORSwap
THORSwap is one of the few protocols in this ecosystem that has seen it all. It launched when native cross-chain swaps were still new and experimental. It survived multiple market cycles, regulatory uncertainty, infrastructure upgrades, and even internal restructurings. More than four years later, it is still here. And unlike
Marketing Update: January 2026
During January, the marketing team focused on execution and momentum. January was about completing the foundations. We finished the website design, setup additional social platforms and continued improving SEO and data integrations.
