Summary
Mainnet was announced, marking a major milestone Goodbye Chaosnet, Mainnet is here. Massive Binance promotion is currently ongoing to celebrate Mainnet. THORNames are now live on Mainnet, Gia Chain will go to Mainnet soon, Terra chain removed and a killSwitch update.
THORNames on Mainnet
This feature was conceived and constructed almost a year ago but was pushed back to focus on the reliability and stability of the network.
The main purpose of this feature was to create shortened memos allowing more complex transactions on THORChain while staying within the limitations of memo sizes of various external networks. The core devs always had the design intent to minimise barriers to entry to participate in the network, and long memos were antithetical to that.
You can learn more about THORNames at https://docs.thorchain.org/network/thorchain-name-service
TERRA Update
Nodes have voted to Ragnarok the TERRA chain. Funds within the pools have been returned to the address that added them. A community effort is underway to have the LP address registered for the Terra airdrop. Note: This initiative is entirely community-managed.
TFL Devs Update
THORChain community has been working with Terraform Labs (TFL) to get THORChain Liquidity Providers represented. TFL Devs are reviewing the csv of each LPers address, share and airdrop_amount (1e8). Liquidity Providers don’t need to do anything, the balance will be distributed directly to the Terra address you used to deposit with. Vesting + other conditions apply. A recent update from TFL is:
“We’re already working on the airdrop claim mechanism. We’ll need a software upgrade to the chain in order to do this airdrop.”
In terms of plan, it’ll be something like this
1. Raise gov proposal for software upgrade
2. Raise gov proposal for allocating LUNA from comm pool for airdrops.
3. Open up airdrop claim Interface by the end July to mid-August
4. Users have 1 month to claim
For THORChain users, they will be required to connect their terra station wallets that they used to deposit into THORChainto receive the airdrops”

Kill Switch Reminder and Update
THORChain will be removing support for non-native RUNE (BNB.RUNE and ETH.RUNE).
See more information on the Kill Switch and BEP2/ERC20 RUNE upgrade in theUpgrading to Native RUNEArticle.
Nodes have voted to enable the KillSwitch and it will activate at block height 6500000, or 19th July 05:00 EDT.
It is recommended you upgrade asap with the below guides:
- How to switch to Native RUNE using Ledger (2 ways) — THORNoob
- How to Switch Binance $RUNE to Native $RUNE (2 Ways: Arbitrage, Upgrade) — THORSwap
- How to: Upgrade to Native RUNE (THOR.RUNE) Using ThorSwap DEX — LP University.
Native RUNE is supported by many major centralised exchanges allowing another path to upgrade non-native RUNE.

Ethereum ROUTER V4 UPGRADED
All wallets and traders should double check they are querying the correct router, provided on the inbound_address endpoint.
The router can change at any time. Do not cache it. Funds sent to the old router are impossible to recover and no refunds can be provided.
