State of the Network 27/04: THORChain’s Node Network Rebounds Stronger Than Ever

The sunset of ThorFi, the Bybit hack, and a radical shift away from inflationary block rewards could have been a breaking point. For many protocols, it would have been.

But for THORChain?

It became a stress test = one the network passed with resilience and growing conviction.

⚡️Today’s network state shows something simple but very profound:

When incentives shrink and stress hits, true belief steps up from chads!

Now let’s dive into the numbers behind THORChain’s recovery

⚡️Revenue Reset: The Move to Real Yield

A few months ago, THORChain made a cool change-up:

Block rewards (inflationary emissions) were removed.

Node Operators now earn solely from liquidity fees! Now that’s real, protocol-driven activity.

If you’re thinking this is just a payout change = No way!

This is a gigantic shift from “get paid for securing blocks” → to “get paid for growing the ecosystem.”

Real work for real rewards.
