⚡️ $XRP is coming to THORChain - and it’s a bigger win than you think.
On April 11th, XRP went live on THORChain’s stagenet.
This milestone integration led by the @strangelovelabs and @ninerealms_cap teams is a gigantic win for our community.
Because this deployment is one of the final phases before full mainnet activation, expected imminently. Its implications extend far beyond technical novelty, so here’s what you need to know.

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.
Shoutout to chad @rykcrypt !

From Shutdown to Showtime: How THORFi’s Sunset Gave Birth to TCY, the DeFi Token You need To Know About
What do you do when your protocol hits the brakes, the community panics, and “rug” rumors start flying?
If you're THORChain - you build.
What happened with the THORFi was a moment of reckoning. Lending and Savers features were suddenly frozen when node operators activated a circuit breaker in response to rising protocol risk. It was swift. It was dramatic. And many got worried.
“Is THORChain insolvent?”
“Is this the end?”
“Did I just get rugged?”
But they missed one crucial fact: THORChain is profitable. One of the rare DeFi protocols actually generating real, on-chain revenue. The circuit breaker wasn’t a death blow, it was a lifeline. A high-pressure valve releasing before real damage could occur.
And from that turbulence, something pretty incredible emerged.

THORChain nodes voted to remove block rewards 🔥
From 25,000 $RUNE per day emitted from the Reserve down to 2 per day, eliminating inflation completely
100% of income is now from swap fees, with a deflationary burn of 5% system income

Some notable swaps from today. Cross-chain swaps are alive and well.
Community members have expressed concern about the "mimir" key to pause functionality on THORChain.
This capability is being permanently retired as of v3.2.0, to be released on Monday. After, only a quorum of node operators will be able to effect any parameters of the system.
