To swap assets you need to have a wallet addresses for each blockchains and to connect the sending wallet and receiving address on a @THORChain interface.
There are multiple frontends built on top of @THORChain users can use based on their personal preferences.
I recommend the @xdefi_wallet wallet. Note :enable all chains before connecting, otherwise it might give you an error.
You can connect a ledger to it
8.
The swap fees are 0.02 $rune tokens and the cost of slippage. The bigger the transaction proportional to the pool size, the higher the fees will be.
Each interface might or might not charge extra fees on top of that.
9.
The highest volume interface is currently @THORSwap. Each interface can have other value adds like fiat onramp and offramp and other services.
10.
@THORSwap are integrating an aggregator to connect smaller assets that are not listed directly and other chains that are currently unavail. They expect to connect all the major L1s and their DEXes before end of year, using available bridges and other tools.
11.
The $rune token utility is to secure the network.
Nodes are required to have more collateral than liquidity on the network. They have no rational economic incentives to collude.
Every liquidity pair is trading with $rune, that allows nodes bond to capture value.
12.
Thorchain will have a vertically integrated DEFI services stack soon. Synths are already online, they act like an L2 on top of the original assets, allowing the users & arbitrageurs to trade faster and cheaper, skipping paying the L1 fees.
13.
Thorchain has it's own L1 blockchain that purely specializes in decentralized swaps. There will never be 3rd party smart contracts protocol built on top of it.
Because of that, it theoretically could do 300 swaps per seconds right now, VS 15 for $eth.
14.
Value extraction from bots and front runners is a big problem on most DEXes. Having it's own blockchain allows that problem to be mitigated.
There is no value extraction opportunity from bots frontrunning trades on Thorchain, even if they are using synths.
15.
Transactions are ordered by size. If I remember correctly the biggest transactions get processed first in the blocks. Nodes cannot reorder the transactions and you cannot front run others by paying a higher gas fee. You cannot be sandwich attacked.
16.
Like any AMM liquidity pools, arbitrageurs rebalance the pool to reflect correct asset prices. This has no negative impact for swappers.
17.
Thorchain has a unique feature : You can input conditional orderbook buy orders.
Example : buy $btc when it reaches $39000
18.
Centralized exchanges are limited by the liquidity available at the time of the order. Thorchain's design is continuously buying and selling every assets through it's automatic incentivized liquidity pools.
That makes every asset more liquid and less volatile.
19.
Along with Synths that allow for faster and cheaper trading while keeping the ability to withdraw real L1 assets, this will allow for the creation of an orderbook style trading interfaces similar to CEXes. (making them obsolete)
20.
The total market cap of CEXes corporations exceeds $300B. @THORChain would capture WAY more value.
I read that Coinbase had $400B in users deposit. The minimum deterministic market cap of $rune would go up by $600B if it was holding these deposits.
We are entering in a new paradigm with tokens that have value capture as a feature and psychological anchoring makes it hard to see the scope of what is possible with this new asset class.
22. If you want to visualize it, input $400B of value in the deterministic value visual tool. Now imagine if crypto 10xs from here.
Today : Value capture. Why utility and tokens price don't always go hand in hand and why this benefits $rune
TDRL : We have no comparables for tokens that capture value as a core feature of their mechanism like $luna and $rune

I will randomly give away a @ThorGuards NFT from my vaults among everyone who retweet the first part of the thread.
(This is a random one, one given might be different)

In real free market capitalism, the most efficient industry has an economic profit that equals zero.
DEFI is the most efficient free market I have witnessed. Almost everything is open source and can be forked almost immediately. This pushes competition and innovation.
Here's simple math why I think @THORSwap is undervalued.
The mechanism to to buyback with 75% of fees and redistribute to $vTHOR stakers will be enabled with the launch of V2.
Fees generated could by the protocol could be 3.375m next month, with the standard 0.3% DEX fees.
2/5
That buyback alone represents 20%+ slippage in the pool in a month alone. $thor isn't denominated in $usd, it's denominated in $rune. It trades against it and the ratio of $rune VS $thor represents the value.
If $rune goes up, $thor follows.
It's a leveraged bet.
3/5
My theory includes the launch of the $eth DEX aggregator and the launch of $luna / $ust. I'm doubling today's volume.
Thorswaps accounts for roughly 25% of all TXs on @THORChain. The rest is arb bots and other interfaces. It might be a little lower because of synths.
We are on the eve of. the $luna integration. It's the first Cosmo tokens listed on @THORChain.
A custom bifrost design has been created for this effect. It will be reused to integrate other @cosmos chains.
2/7
After the core team has created the BiFrost, it's then audited by ThorSEC (the internal adversarial security team), Halborn / Trailsofbit security firms and is in the hands of TerraSCV for a final audit along with bug bounty
Integrating cosmos assets will now be faster.
3/7
A @THORChain hardfork is needed to integrate $luna. It has been done successfully on the stagenet (Thorchain's live testnet).
It should go live on mainnet (still chaosnet beta) within hours/days.
Wild prediction : $thor will outperform $rune for the next few weeks, at least until the release of @THORSwap V2, the DEFI aggregator interface and $vthor.
Why?
2.
- $thor is denominated in $rune. If $rune goes up, $thor goes up. The liquidity is in a pool on Thorchain.
- $thor is highly undervalued right now. It has a bigger TAM than any frontend DEX and it's trading at $20m circulating supply.
3.
- $thor staking offers close to 100% APY. That's part of overperforming. The fully diluted valuation is not imprtant because staking overperforms all other token holders. Staking grows your percentage of ownership of the protocol because not everyone is.
