## Resource

In this podcast, Kenton, Denny, and Boone discuss the technical details of adding Monero, along with freedom, social knowledge platforms, libertarianism, and more. Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! TL;DR Community member Boone used AI coding tools (OpenAI Codex) to wire Luke Parker's audited FROST Rust package (from @kayabaNerve) to THORNode, creating a working $XMR chain client in roughly two months Chad confirmed the hard part is done. $XMR on THORChain has never been more likely, though the team urges caution: expect a shallow pool, possible chain pauses, and failed swaps early on Critical PSA: If you swap from $XMR without including a return address in the memo, your funds are unrecoverable. THORChain cannot return Monero without one. swap.thorchain.org (STO) just passed $1 billion in cumulative volume, a major milestone for THORChain's own frontend The protocol-owned liquidity (POL) discussion is heating up, with both Kenton and Boone favoring 20% of system income to seed up to 50 new pools You can find Rayyyk’s full write-up on blog: https://blog.thorchain.org/how-boone-used-ai-to-build-thorchains-monero-integration/ https://x.com/BooneW https://boonewheeler.com/boonetools/ 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.
