THORchain 101:

@thorchain_org is a decentralized cross-chain AMM, built on the Cosmos SDK, that provides a trust-minimized way to trade spot tokens across various L1 blockchains.
Cross-chain swaps are facilitated by a network of continuous liquidity pools (CLPs) and validator nodes.
The protocol's native asset, $RUNE, serves as:

1) collateral posted by nodes ensuring network security

2) the common quote currency for each CLP.

RUNE is staked as collateral for validators providing cross-chain proofs to settle cross-chain swaps.
In addition, it serves as the settlement for each trade in the system, maximizing liquidity of all assets rather than fragmenting liquidity across lower-volume pairs.
Learn more about $RUNE's tokenomics, and the entire DEX landscape in this epic piece from @rahul_rai121 messari.io/article/the-pa…

RAI is a governance minimized non pegged stablecoin.

It is an attempt to create a more trust-minimized version Dai not pegged to the dollar.

It is solely backed by ETH and stabilized autonomously using a PID controller.

1/ Image
At a high level RAI is similar to Single Collateral DAI (SCD).

It is an overcollateralized debt position for users that demand ETH leverage.
Users can open this position by depositing ETH into a SAFE (similar to Maker’s vaults) and minting RAI against it.

Users can redeem their collateral by paying back their RAI plus a borrow fee.

RAI’s token FLX is used to govern and backstop the system. Image

Float Protocol is a two token, partially collateralized non pegged stablecoin protocol.

FLOAT draws its value from its underlying basket of collateral (ETH), and is stabilized through auctions.

BANK backstops FLOAT, earns protocol profits, and governs the Float protocol.

1/ Image
At the core of Float’s stability model is protocol controlled value (PCV) and dutch auctions.

Float protocol maintains a fund to stabilize the price of FLOAT called the “Basket” which holds a portfolio of cryptoassets - initially just ETH.
The Basket is owned by the protocol and is built up through FLOAT auctions.

FLOAT’s Target Price will start at an arbitrary number - initially $1.618 and will slowly adjust over time depending on the value of the basket relative to the value of the outstanding FLOAT. Image

Olympus DAO is an attempt to create a stable currency (OHM) through managing a treasury of assets.

Initially this treasury will consist solely of DAI and OHM-DAI Sushi LP shares.

Over time Olympus DAO will add new collateral types and ultimately stabilize versus a basket.

1/ Image
At a high level Olympus DAO features a single token, OHM, which is both the system’s stable asset and its governance token.

OHM can be staked in return for sOHM which allows OHM holders to accrue protocol profits as well as participate in Olympus DAO governance. Image
The core building blocks of Olympus DAO are protocol controlled value (PCV), market operations, and bonding.

How does an independent Ethereum monetary system powered by non pegged stablecoins work in practice?

It starts with Ethereum’s native asset ETH 👇
ETH is decent money and will become better with time. It’s:

+ scarce
+ easy to verify
+ fungible
+ divisible
+ portable

With Ethereum 2.0 and EIP-1559, it's potentially deflationary.

However, it’s not a great currency.
It's volatile and undesirable to use for many financial activities that benefit from price stability.

In other words, ETH may be a solid store of value, but it's a poor medium of exchange and unit of account.
