So my questions to y'all:
- Do you have a THORName?
- Do you _want_ a THORName?
- What would you like to use it for (short of preferred asset identification, fees, etc)?
Every now and again someone brings up TNS in Discord and I get excited that now might be the time THORNames start taking off and I can start building cool things in relation. Only to realize that the market would be super small and there's not actually a lot of interest :-(
When I started learning about THORChain I got really excited about the TNS. I saw some pretty exciting possible use cases, but so far it only seems used for affiliate fees on swaps. A colleague pitched me on the idea of a marketplace, but we never built it ...
🚨V3.8.0 Is Live - Here's A Solid Breakdown!
With over 30 merge requests, this release shows contributors are shipping at high velocity.
From new chain integrations like $TRON and EDDSA (.@Solana ) to major upgrades in the App Layer on .@RujiraNetwork, and technical improvements across the board, here’s everything you absolutely need to know👇
Spent a chunk of time yesterday and today reviewing the MR to add #Solana support to #THORChain. It's a new, substantially lighter approach than the tactic we were approaching earlier this year.
And I'm stoked to see it nearing completion :-)
As a side project, I'd like to start experimenting with agentic infrastructure for THORChain, called Project Huginn ("thought"). While its not clear how fruitful this will be today, #AI is developing at incredible rates, and its clear to me that this is the inevitable future. $RUNE #THORChain

THORChain v3.5.0 goes way beyond a version update. It’s a critical structural release that tightens the engine across every layer.
Multiple high-impact PRs have landed simultaneously, including:
⚪️ A full refactor of Bifrost
⚪️ Security hardening in outbound transaction logic
⚪️ Major aggregator upgrades
⚪️ And most notably, the rollout of TCY, a new protocol-native yield token built to realign incentives after the ThorFi shutdown
Let’s break down the most significant changes in v3.5.0 and explain exactly why they matter for protocol operators, liquidity providers, and the next wave of cross-chain integrations…. ✍️
Mainnet upgrade to v3.5 is scheduled at block 20940000 estimated at 1 May 2025 at 3pm UTC
TCY is included in this update, but will not be enabled until Monday, May 5th
Smooth #THORChain release in the morning. Rapid patch to fix an issue missed in testing in the afternoon (also smooth). Community reaction to issues is outstanding!
