THORChain xarid qiling.

THORChain (RUNE) is the native token of THORChain, a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol that allows users to swap native assets — like BTC, ETH, and ATOM — directly across blockchains without the need for wrapped tokens or centralized intermediaries. Its goal is to make DeFi more interoperable, enabling seamless asset exchange between otherwise isolated networks.

THORChain uses an automated market maker (AMM) model similar to other decentralized exchanges, but it stands out for its ability to handle native tokens. This is made possible through a network of vaults and nodes that coordinate cross-chain transactions securely and trustlessly. Users can swap, lend, and earn yield on native assets like Bitcoin or Litecoin, something rarely possible in DeFi.

RUNE is the utility and settlement token of the THORChain network. It is bonded by validators, used to pay protocol fees, and paired against all other assets in liquidity pools — enabling deep liquidity across every supported chain. RUNE also plays a key role in securing the network and aligning incentives between liquidity providers, traders, and node operators.

RUNE is currently priced at $0.59, with a market capitalization of $208,651,233. The token reached its all-time high of $20.87 on May 19, 2021. There are 351,068,662 RUNE tokens in circulation, from a total supply of 425,028,303, and a maximum supply of 500,000,000.

THORChain is designed to operate as decentralized infrastructure supporting multi-chain asset exchange within the DeFi ecosystem.
