Every round, someone thinks it's done for, but it just won't die.

Instead, it's pushing the product forward even as it's being questioned.

@THORChain
 and 
@Maya_Protocol
 have joined forces!

Single dev team, shared infra, shared knowledge, grinding away

who knows, maybe in time the two protocols will merge as one? 

Soon with opt-in chain clients, factions of nodes can run smaller chain"

Here's what happened this week 

Headline News

THORChain v3.17 is live.  ADR 023 burned 64.4M 
$RUNE
 from the Protocol Reserve, bringing circulating supply just above 360M. The Reserve was non-circulating so no price impact, but the supply picture is now"

$CACAO
 investment was redundancy, slight capital efficiency, some different assets & non US team to mitigate jurisdictional risk 

Now you get pretty much all that with 
$RUNE
 & more

Personally I think having 
@Maya_Protocol
 as redundancy is crucial however"

@THORChain
. The numbers are real.

 65M 
$RUNE
 burned from the Reserve
 Stable swaps at 2 bps
 v3.18 next week: dynamic fees + 
$XMR
 and 
$TAO
 node changes

Lower fees attract volume. More volume burns 
$RUNE
. Privacy and AI both gaining ground here."
