Bridges are protocols that allow users to trade currency from several blockchains by using smart contracts. Without the use of bridges or wrapped assets, users of THORChain can exchange bitcoin (BTC) for any other accepted asset.
The protocol’s focus will be on connecting with more decentralized exchanges (DEX) and exchange aggregators. On THORChain’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), community members can suggest new features.
The previous network ChaosNet saw a trading volume of $9.2 billion over 3.4 million swaps from 71,000 different traders. The largest trade on that platform, for $1.33 million, resulted in fees of close to $80 million for the firm.
