About THORChain

The staking and settlement asset of a cross-chain liquidity network.

THORChain is tracked as the staking and settlement asset of a cross-chain liquidity network.

THORChain appears in this directory for research, not as an endorsement. Its interoperability network design should be judged through the documented network, supply, control, and failure model rather than through the RUNE unit price alone.

How to read the RUNE price

The displayed RUNE reference is the latest available observation from MEXC Global for RUNE/USDT. It belongs to that venue, quote asset, and timestamp; THORChain has no single official global price.

An executable RUNE order can differ after spread, depth, slippage, fees, payment method, and location. This page therefore labels the USDT quote instead of presenting the stablecoin market as cash USD.
