THORChain is a Layer-1 cross-chain decentralized exchange and liquidity protocol, built on the Cosmos SDK, that enables native asset swaps across 13 blockchains without requiring KYC at the protocol level. THORChain's Twitter Score is 255 out of 1000 (an Excellent rating) as of September 2026, ranking #1,465 (top 0.5%) among 486,860 tracked accounts.
THORChain was co-founded by Chad Barraford and operates as an independent protocol where RUNE, the native utility token, underpins every liquidity pool and is bonded by nodes to secure the network. The protocol first took shape during the Binance Dexathon in 2018, with its first whitepaper published that same year. THORChain launched Multichain ChaosNet in April 2021 and announced mainnet on June 22, 2022, marking key milestones in its development as a cross-chain liquidity layer.
THORChain introduced a second token, TCY, to address a debt issue of approximately $210 million that arose from the ThorFi crisis. Backers of the protocol include Delphi Digital, Multicoin Capital, Mapleblock Capital, Yield Ventures, and Zee Prime Capital. THORChain is also affiliated with Rujira, Maya Protocol, Unstoppable, Berserk Marketing, Liquify, and Soda Labs.
THORChain paused trading on May 15, 2026, after a suspected exploit was flagged involving more than $10 million. A malicious node operator exploited a GG20 threshold-signature vulnerability, draining approximately $10.7 million from one protocol vault. The protocol resumed all network activity on June 23, 2026, following security upgrades and vault migration.
THORChain's portfolio includes THORSwap BetterThanCEX, Rango and Lends. THORChain has published 25,110 posts and has 286,664 followers as of September 2026. THORChain has been mentioned by 892 accounts, with 6,855 total mentions.
