Summary

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. You can find Rayyyk’s full write-up on blog: https://blog.thorchain.org/monero-full-steam-ahead-dynamic-fees-opt-in-chains-the-arb-debate/ 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.
