Mini @THORChain thread

Subject : Testnet vs Stagenet vs Chaosnet Vs Mainnet
2.
@THORChain has been operating a testnet from day 1 to ensure proper testing of new features and updates.

However, the individual blockchains (eg $eth's testnet) did not behave at all like the real ones.

Eg. MEV bots, flashbots, empty blocks and other things
3.
This led to the creation of a stagenet. A testnet with real chains and real assets at stake.

Bug bounty contributors and whitehat hackers can test their theories in real life settings without attacking the real network.

Features can be tested in real life settings.
4.
Chaosnet is just the name for the beta version of Thorchain. We are still in it, and are expected to move towards mainnet a few months from now.

Right now we are operating under manually set liquidity caps, next week that will soon be lifted and start adjusting to collateral
5.

There was an organized push from the investors to go to mainnet early.

That's because seed investors did not unlock any tokens so far, 4 years into it. Original plan was for mainnet achieved in 6 months.

6.

There was a compromise attained : investors would use their $rune as utility tokens for at least a year, without the possibility of selling any. Theses $rune are getting bonded in node's collateral, creating more LP cap space.
7.
Mainnet will be achieve when the core dev feel confident in it's stability.

There has been multiple discussions about the factors to determine when that begins... it always includes a year without serious incidents.
8.
There is no meaningful differences between chaosnet and mainnet. It isn't a big milestone.

Liquidity caps will always reflect bonded $rune. When we reach enough $rune in bonds, the price reflexivity will always create more cap space in the liquidity pools.

Day 4/30 of @THORChain threads

The basics of a multi chain decentralized exchanges : Swaps
2.

I will give a random @ThorGuards from my vault among everyone who retweets the first part of the thread.
3.

@THORChain is the first multichain DEX.

The end goal is to enable users to trade any digital asset on any blockchain for one another, without permission, trust or possibility of censorship.

It's the only DEX where you can swap L1 $btc for L1 $eth in a decentralized way.

Day 3/30 of @THORChain threads

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.

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.

Thursday Alpha drop :

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.

Today : Tokens distribution

A lot of false rumours are circulating right now.

Here's the real story:
2.

I will randomly give away a @ThorGuards NFT among everyone who retweet the first part of the thread.

Today's Thorguard will be this one :
3.
I feel it's early to address token distribution for my threads but it's needed :

There are a lot of miss-informed gentleman out there spreading "dangerous missinformation".

The team & seed investors did not not started vesting yet and we're 4 years into the project.
