Thorchain FAQs

Is there be a lockup for adding liquidity?

There is no minimum or maximum time or amount. Join and leave whenever you wish.

Why does RUNE need to be the settlement asset in every pool?

keyboard_arrow_down

If each pool is comprised of two assets eg. BTC:ETH then there will be a scaling problem with n*(n-1)/2 possible connections.By having RUNE one side of each pool, $RUNE becomes a settlement currency allowing swaps between any two other asset. Additionally, having $RUNE in a pool ensures that the network can become aware of the value of assets it is securing.
