💡Community Spotlight #4: The Voice Of The Chads
It's that time again to celebrate the people who help empower THORChain⚡️
⚡️We're always reaching out to interview standout contributors in the eco, and our 4th guest is Community Sentinel & Protocol Evangelist - Patriot Sounds
This new series helps us to give something back to the community with the recognition they deserve🫶
Let's learn from his journey in THORChain 👇
https://x.com/THORChain/status/1931118436085535050
🚨 New Thread Drop 🚨
Everyone knows THORChain for its legendary native swaps, but that’s just the surface.
To sustain $RUNE’s value and keep Node Operators incentivized, the protocol needs more than infrastructure. It needs an economic engine.
That engine is Rujira - a programmable App Layer that funnels fees and value back to THORChain.
From aligned revenue flows to increased RUNE bonding pressure, this thread breaks down why Rujira turns THORChain into a full-on native DeFi ecosystem.
👇 Don’t sleep on this one, Chads - read the full thread here:
https://x.com/THORChain/status/1930399018909126854
⚡️DeFI on THORChain: The Need of an App Layer
THORChain has long held a unique position in crypto infrastructure, enabling seamless, decentralised cross-chain swaps between native assets like $BTC and $ETH.
But despite this tech breakthrough, it faced structural limitations, and RUJIRA is here to change all of that.

🚨V3.6.0 - That Means It’s Rujira Time
This upgrade is all about Rujira and is finally happening on May 22nd 2025
Why now?
⚡️Because builders can’t be held back any longer. It's time to BUILD. SHIP. SCALE.
❗️Remember that this is just the start, and RUJIRA won't be live instantly as it's rolling out steadily and progressively.
Here's what you need to know.👇

💡Protocol Spotlight: RUNEBondApp - Facilitating Bonding
In THORChain, community-driven initiatives are constantly popping up to support the eco’s growth and we love to see it, Chads!
A very recent example is RUNEBOND, a new app that strips away all complexity for anyone looking to Bond their RUNE.
✅In just a few weeks of going live, it’s already bonded over 378k RUNE and now supports 14 listed Nodes. Now that’s a pretty solid milestone!
🔒As we all know putting $RUNE to work is key to THORChain’s security, but it also comes with a nice passive yield.
Today we’re breaking down what RUNEBond is and how easy it all works, so strap in and read it all here👇
https://x.com/THORChain/status/1923087571820871915
🚨EdDSA - A Highly Complex Integration We've All Been Waiting For!
Solana keeps coming up in Chad discussions and for a good reason. ⚡️
It hasn't gone live yet, but this thread will help you understand what's happening: Beyond internal challenges, one of the main reasons is the engineering complexity introduced by Solana’s architecture, something THORChain’s contributors are still actively working through.
❓Curious why this isn’t just another chain plug-in?
The full breakdown.
https://x.com/THORChain/status/1922419873533329727
🚨 New Deep Dive: Bonding isn’t just a checkbox on THORChain — it’s the economic engine securing real BTC, ETH, and more.
While most users interact with the protocol by providing liquidity or using Savers, the role of node operators and the capital they bond underpin the entire architecture.
THORChain isn't securing an internal ledger, it's securing external, exogenous assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum using native vaults, with no third-party custody or wrapping.
This makes the validator model fundamentally distinct.
As JPThor puts it:
“It’s not just validating a network - it’s securing exogenous capital”
🧵 Read the full breakdown on why bonding is the bedrock of THORChain’s economic security model:
