Its wild to me how divisive @THORChain seems to be.

This protocol solved a "holy grail" problem the industry desperately needed to be solved and achieved "the impossible". Any coiner should be in appreciation for achieving something that we all use & take for granted today

[RUNEBond @RUNEBondApp]

Friendly reminder RUNEBond is still looking for a seed bond provider. 👀

We've got the node ready to go. We just need the right investor to lock in and help us hit the Active Set.

Come help us keep building 💪🔥

[RUNEBond @RUNEBondApp]

🚀 Big news: the official RUNEBond node is live.

We're looking for our first seed bond providers (minimum 100K RUNE) to help us churn into @THORChain's active node set for the first time.

This is how we fund the platform our way of keeping the project moving forward, with the community bonding alongside us and earning real RUNE yield in return.

Once we're stable in the active set, we'll open the node to smaller providers too making it accessible for everyone.

But we need the first believers to get there. If you have 100K+ RUNE and want to back the project that's building the rails for THORChain bonding this is your moment.

Whitelist requests are open on the platform or reach us via DMs or our Telegram we're happy to talk.

Fun topic! Will join!

We just updated the "How RUNEBond Works" video on our landing page.

Huge thanks to @THORCommunity for putting it together.

New visuals. Clearer walkthrough. Everything you need to understand how bonding your $RUNE works in minutes.

Whether you're exploring RUNEBond for the first time or sending the link to a friend who keeps asking "but how does it work?" this is it.

We've made the process to bond your RUNE easy. :) And we will continue to improve the site for Bond Providers and Node Operators!

@toly did you hear that @THORChain recently added @solana support? Would love to partner with @SolanaFndn to add liquidity and get some cross project marketing

"Can the node operator run away with my RUNE?"

No. That's not how it works. The operator never has direct access to your $RUNE.

Here's what CAN happen and how to protect yourself:

1. Slashing If the operator acts maliciously or fails to maintain their node properly, the network applies a penalty. This can reduce your earned rewards or even a portion of your bond. Important: the operator doesn't take your RUNE it's the network itself enforcing the penalty, and it applies proportionally to all bond providers including the operator.

How to mitigate this: choose operators who have a large portion of the bond funded from their own address. If they get slashed, they're the ones with the most to lose. That's a strong incentive to behave.

2. Delayed unbonding. If you request to unbond but the operator doesn't want to leave the active set, your RUNE stays in the network generating rewards until the node eventually exits. Unbonding can only happen when the node is no longer active. Each operator has their own policy on this, so it's worth understanding before you bond.

3. Node operator changes. The operator can unilaterally increase their fee, which reduces the APY for bond providers. In practice, most operators are transparent about fee adjustments because their reputation depends on it but it's something to be aware of.

Know the risks. Choose your operator wisely. Bond with confidence 🙏

. @THORChain enables direct swaps between native assets like BTC and ETH across different blockchains without wrapped tokens or centralized exchanges.

We’ve launched a THORChain Spotlight Dashboard on Messari.

Track liquidity, trading activity, token performance, and ecosystem growth in one place to better understand how the protocol is evolving.

Looking for a way to fund your AI agents? Bond your $RUNE. Earn rewards every 3 days. Use the cashflow to pay for the tools that work while you sleep.

Currently sitting at ~43% APY on bonded RUNE fully variable, fully organic. Every cross-chain swap processed by @THORChain adds more rewards to your position. More usage, more yield.

No token emissions. Just real fees from real swaps funding your recurring expenses. Your RUNE generates the income. Your AI agents do the work. That's the loop.

Start on RUNEBond.

Okay guys! We didn't make it this time but we're not done.

If you're redistributing your bond or looking at $RUNE staking as a real cash flow opportunity, remember: backing operators who are just getting started doesn't just earn you yield it decentralizes the network.

A stronger, more distributed network is better for every RUNE holder.

Next churn. Let's get it done.

[Hippocampus @HippocampusWeb3]

The first Community node is live on RUNEBond. @Devel484 has put up the minimum recommended bond, been waiting patiently on the network, and has even proposed improvements to @THORChain.

Everyone talks about wanting more unique node operators. Here's your chance to actually do something about it.

Small holder? Bond what you can. Large holder? Make a real difference. Sitting on idle $RUNE? Put it to work.

The network is reporting 50%+ APY fueled entirely by real cross-chain swap fees no inflaction. If cross-chain swaps keep growing, so does the yield. It's that simple.

Back a new operator. Strengthen the network. No more excuses. Check community nodes on @RUNEBondApp now. We cannot fail in this.

[Devel484 @Devel484]

I am happy to be part of the @THORChain community by operating a node. Thank you @RUNEBondApp for the support to reach potential $RUNE bond providers!
