About
THORChain (RUNE)
THORChain (RUNE) is a decentralized liquidity protocol built to facilitate cross-chain swaps of native digital assets in a permissionless, non-custodial manner. Operating as an independent Layer-1 blockchain using the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint consensus mechanism, it enables users to exchange cryptocurrencies like native Bitcoin for native Ethereum without relying on wrapped tokens or centralized intermediaries. This is a crucial piece of Web3 infrastructure designed to solve the problem of fragmented liquidity across disparate blockchain ecosystems. The network's architecture is centered around Continuous Liquidity Pools (CLPs), where liquidity providers deposit assets alongside the native utility token, RUNE.
The RUNE token is integral to the protocol's tokenomics and security. It serves four key functions: acting as the base pairing asset in all liquidity pools, providing the economic bond for node operators to ensure network security (a form of Sybil resistance), functioning as the settlement currency for all swaps, and being used for on-chain governance. This design creates a deterministic value for RUNE based on the total liquidity locked in the network. By connecting chains through its Bifrost Protocol, THORChain stands as a fundamental pillar for seamless interoperability and native asset settlement within the broader DeFi applications landscape.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the ILS/RUNE trading pair and its significance?
The ILS/RUNE pair represents the exchange rate between the Israeli New Shekel (ILS) and THORChain's native token, RUNE. Its significance lies in providing a direct fiat on-ramp for users in Israel to acquire RUNE, the core utility token of the THORChain cross-chain liquidity protocol. This allows them to access a decentralized network for swapping native digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum without relying on wrapped tokens or bridges. -
What is the common process for purchasing RUNE with Israeli Shekel (ILS)?
Typically, you would use a cryptocurrency exchange that accepts ILS deposits via local Israeli bank transfer or credit/debit card. After completing the mandatory KYC/AML compliance checks, you deposit ILS into your exchange account. Since a direct ILS/RUNE pair is rare, the common path is to first buy a major cryptocurrency like Bitcoin (BTC) or a stablecoin (like USDT) with your ILS, and then trade that asset for RUNE on the same platform's order book. -
What are THORChain's key technical features relevant to a RUNE holder?
RUNE holders interact with a unique cross-chain liquidity protocol. Key features include: Continuous Liquidity Pools (CLPs) where RUNE is paired with every other listed asset, enabling native asset swaps (e.g., native BTC for native ETH). The network is secured by THORNodes which must bond a significant amount of RUNE. THORChain also offers features like streaming swaps for large orders and is developing a native lending protocol, all underpinned by the RUNE token. -
What are the typical fees associated with an ILS to RUNE transaction?
The process involves several potential fees. First, a deposit fee for funding your exchange account with ILS, which varies by payment method (bank transfer vs. card). Second, a trading fee on the exchange for converting ILS to an intermediary asset and then to RUNE. Finally, a network withdrawal fee is charged by the exchange to move your RUNE into your self-custody digital wallet. These fees are distinct from the THORChain network's own liquidity fees for performing cross-chain swaps. -
What is the utility of RUNE beyond simple trading?
RUNE has deep utility within the THORChain DeFi ecosystem. Its primary use is to serve as a settlement asset in the protocol's continuous liquidity pools (CLPs). Users can become Liquidity Providers (LPs) by depositing their RUNE and another asset into a pool to earn yield from swap fees, with impermanent loss protection. Additionally, RUNE is bonded by THORNode operators to secure the network, and it serves as collateral in THORChain's native lending protocol.
