THORChain is a network that facilitates native asset settlement between various blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Cosmos, and more. Overall, THORChain aims to provide a seamless and efficient way for users to exchange assets across different blockchains while maintaining a high level of decentralization, security, and community participation.
Fireblocks offers secure custody and transfer for RUNE, with plans to enable RUNE staking and efficient access to THORChain’s decentralized liquidity protocol features.
THORChain is the industry’s largest decentralized, native asset settlement backbone. With billions in weekly volume, THORChain removes dependencies on wrapped or bridged assets, allowing swaps between native Bitcoin, ETH, Cosmos, and other major chains.
