Swap BTC, ETH, and more natively — no bridges, no wrapping, no middlemen.
Thor Chain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that enables native cross-chain swaps. Unlike bridges or wrapped assets, Thor Chain moves real BTC, ETH, and other coins directly between blockchains using continuous liquidity pools secured by validator nodes and the RUNE token.
Thor Chain supports native BTC, ETH, BNB, AVAX, DOGE, LTC, BCH, ATOM, and many ERC-20 tokens. New chains and assets are added over time through governance, making Thor Chain one of the most versatile cross-chain protocols available.
Yes. Thor Chain is fully non-custodial — you always control your funds. The protocol has undergone multiple third-party security audits and runs on a permissionless network of bonded nodes. You do not need to register, KYC, or trust any central party to use Thor Chain.
RUNE is the native asset of Thor Chain. It serves as the settlement currency for every swap, is bonded by validator nodes to secure the network, and is paired in every liquidity pool. RUNE holders can also participate in governance decisions for the protocol.
Swap speed on Thor Chain depends on the confirmation requirements of the source and destination chains. Most swaps complete within a few minutes. BTC swaps may take slightly longer due to Bitcoin block times, while ETH-based swaps are typically faster.
