A May '25 tweet claims @IOHK_Charles sold ~1.5B ADA in the '21 hype cycle, plus 10x 20M payments to @gavofyork.

Rather than take its word, i wanted to check the chain.

Tracing funds is hard, but those x10 20M payments are a solid place to start:

🇦🇪 Dubai is full of traffic and crowds again. Already missing the Iranian fireworks — they helped clear the city of the easily impressed.

The UAE’s air defenses proved excellent under fire. For 0% tax, we get better protection than Europeans paying 50%.

thorchain gg20/tss attack path

i reproduced the suspected gg20 leakage mechanics against the tss-lib version they used. it accepts malformed paillier material, exposes a type 5 / type 7 oracle shape, and the go-tss wrapper misses some important checks.

Update on the @THORChain hack (May 15, 2026).

The node operator who appears to be the attacker is:
thor16ucjv3v695mq283me7esh0wdhajjalengcn84q

This is linked to a Discord user by the name: Dinosauruss (dinosauruss_53308)

The majority of the stolen funds seems to have ended up at this ETH address:
0xd477b69551f49C0519F9B18c55030676138890Bd

(Thanks to @slambammer (slambammer) on the THORChain dev Discord for pointing this out.)

We have flagged the EVM address in our system, which can be seen here:

@Maya_Protocol nodes have halted Mayachain early on out of an abundance of caution. However, @AaluxxMyth and @itzamnadev have confirmed that Maya Protocol is likely unaffected.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide further updates when we know more.

It's time for deep @solana pools on @THORChain - The World’s Leading Bitcoin DEX.

I know you like @THORChain 😬

@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

[Liquidy @LiquidyFinance]

We are super excited and are testing our swap router out in the wild. Things look very promising even with limited liquidity. It is very nice to see a 1000USDC->BTC is giving a better quote or at least on par with other bigger names🔥. Beta version is arriving very soon👀.

⚠️Cambodian 🇰🇭 bank nightmares

We previously warned our users not to open accounts in Cambodia 🇰🇭. Anecdotal evidence always hinted that it's easy to put money in, but hard to take it out

Today we received reports that one of the banks has lost its license❗️Accounts in this bank were sold for XMR and advertised to the community

Users are forced to travel to Cambodia or pay an overpriced lawyer to collect their funds in their name

Only to move their money to a new Cambodian bank which won't let users send out as little as $700❗️

[paperX | THORSwap ➡️ BTC Prague 🇨🇿 @paperX_Art]

I wanted to bring this up on the @therollupco panel today: even if the UI/UX is the same, the underlying counter-risk may not be.

It's the job of the app/aggregator builders to evaluate swap rails to ensure they are permissionless as possible.

It's easy to spin up an API if it's just a broker with a centralized exchange account. Sure the user might get single transaction swaps, but when things go wrong, they take on all the risk with funds being stuck in flight.

It took many years for cross-chain tech to mature to this point, whether it's AMMs, Intents or decentralized CLOB models: ultimately protocols build complexity and app abstract it away for the user. At @thorswap & @SwapKitPowered we share a common goal with cross-chain protocols to ensure we're moving forward towards better trustless tech, and not just a defi mullet where the backend is still centralized/worse than tradfi.

If we're entering into crypto's age of Neo Finance, then the core ethos of why we're here should not be forgotten.

Tidying up @THORSwap side menu and finally shipping a volume dashboard to prod, what do ya'll think?

Markets have been a bit rough recently, but it was a decent volume day yesterday.

User swapped $30M and got MORE than expected⚡️

User initiated: 323 BTC → ETH swap ($30M+)
THORChain pools had approximately: ~2,500 ETH

Not nearly enough liquidity for a single massive swap.

The Solution: Streaming Swaps + Arbitrage

Instead of one trade that would destroy the price, the swap was broken into 3,608 smaller swaps executed every 2 THORChain blocks over 13 hours.

Why every 2 blocks instead of every block?

@SwapKitPowered (the integration toolkit that @TrustWallet uses to connect to THORChain) chose this interval to give arbitrage bots enough time to:

1. Spot the price difference on THORChain
2. Buy cheaper assets elsewhere
3. Add liquidity to THORChain pools
4. Profit from the price gap

The protocol incentivizes arb bots to become the liquidity exactly when it's needed.

Quote (including all fees): 9,192.55 ETH
Actually received: 9,240.64 ETH

User got 48 MORE ETH than quoted.

During the 13 hour swap, ETH/BTC price dropped 1.93% on external markets. The streaming execution captured this price movement in the user's favor.

Most DEXs and bridges fail at scale because they're limited to whatever liquidity sits in their pools.

THORChain's design makes arbitrage profitable, so bots automatically provide liquidity exactly when needed. The bigger the swap, the more profitable the arb, the faster pools get rebalanced.

World record speedrun. ⚡️

Same wallet: 323.26 $BTC → 9,190 $ETH ($30.2M) through @TrustWallet powered by @SwapKitPowered.

Pending now.
Set the record at $21.7M two days ago. Just broke it at $30.2M.

When infrastructure works, whales keep coming back. 🐳

GM, just a simple @THORSwap bullpost⚡️

One of the best kept secrets in crypto is $THOR staking, either auto-compound for more $THOR via $vTHOR or simply stake and collect real-yield USDC rewards in $uTHOR.

It's that simple.

Closing in on $10M in rewards shared now.

$22 million dollars / 232 $btc in one clip

This is biggest transaction in @THORChain’s history if I’m not mistaken

Virtually feeless for the swapper, as good an execution as you can hope for

I was thinking arbs could run out of money on a TX that big but they filled it well

@THORChain is still the best place to swap L1 to L1 native assets in a decentralised fashion… especially at volumes like this.

Biggest swap ever on @THORChain? 🔥

Insane amount. The fact that this can be executed decentralized, permissionless and with minimum slippage is beyond impressive. Love to see this.
