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 exactly is the UAH/RUNE trading pair?
The UAH/RUNE pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp, allowing you to purchase THORChain's native utility token, RUNE, using the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH). RUNE is essential for the functionality of THORChain's cross-chain liquidity protocol, which facilitates native asset swaps between different blockchains without wrapping tokens. -
What are the common methods for buying RUNE with UAH from Ukraine?
Typically, you would use a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that supports UAH deposits via local payment methods like bank cards (Visa/Mastercard) or services such as Privat24/Monobank. After completing the required KYC/AML compliance checks, you can deposit UAH, trade it for RUNE, and then withdraw the digital asset to a secure, self-custody wallet. -
How does THORChain's approach to cross-chain swaps differ from other DEXs?
Unlike most DEXs that operate on a single blockchain and use wrapped assets for cross-chain functionality, THORChain allows for native asset swaps. It uses Continuous Liquidity Pools (CLPs) where assets are paired against RUNE. This architecture, secured by THORNodes, enables direct, decentralized swaps like native BTC for native ETH, a key technological advantage. -
After buying RUNE with UAH, what are the next steps for using it in the THORChain ecosystem?
Once you own RUNE in a self-custody wallet, you can interact with THORChain's decentralized liquidity network. You can provide liquidity to a pool by bonding your RUNE with another asset (e.g., BTC) to earn fees, or use a THORChain-powered interface like ASGARDEX to perform cross-chain swaps. Staking RUNE is also an option for participating in network security and governance. -
What kind of fees should I expect when processing a UAH to RUNE transaction?
The process involves several potential fees: 1) A deposit fee from your Ukrainian bank or payment processor for the UAH on-ramp. 2) A trading fee on the cryptocurrency exchange where you buy RUNE. 3) A network withdrawal fee to move your RUNE off the exchange. Additionally, when swapping assets within THORChain, the protocol uses slip-based fees, which vary depending on the trade size and pool depth, to protect liquidity providers.
