Overview
THORCHain helps the users to effortlessly swap bitcoin assets across many networks while maintaining complete custody of their assets.
Users can swap one asset for another in a permissionless context with THORChain, eliminating the requirement for order books to source liquidity. Instead, market values are maintained by the asset-to-asset ratio in a pool.
To effortlessly support cross-chain token exchanges, THORChain incorporates a number of unique technologies, including on-way state pegs, a state machine, the Bifröst Signer Module, and a TSS protocol. All of this is hidden behind the scenes, allowing even unskilled traders to use the platform.

Technology
The Tendermint consensus is constructed using the Cosmos SDK. A unique BFT proof-of-stake (PoS) method sees many validators work together to propose and finalize blocks of transactions keeping the network safe from attacks.
THORChain's smart contracts have also been reviewed by several third-party security firms, including Certik, which discovered no flaws. THORChain was developed with go language as its primary language for the development of the chain.
Use of native tokens in the ecosystem
RUNE is the THORChain platform's native utility token. Since THORChain nodes must commit a minimum of 1 million RUNE to participate in its rotating consensus process, this is utilized as the base currency in the THORChain ecosystem. It is also used for platform governance and security as part of THORChain's Sybil resistant capabilities.
