Thorchain, a cross-chain liquidity network, has emerged as a frontrunner in cross-chain transfers, surpassing its competitors in volume and transaction activity, on-chain data shows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thorchain Trading Volume Expands As Prominence Increases<\/span><\/h2>\n

The spike in Thorchain’s trading volume and liquidity indicates the protocol’s increasing significance in the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. The protocol’s unique features and innovative solutions have made it a preferred destination for cross-chain asset transfers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the heart of Thorchain is its ability to facilitate cross-chain asset swapping in a trustless and non-custodial manner. In this arrangement, and like popular decentralized exchanges like Uniswap<\/a>, Thorchain allows users to retain control of their funds without depending on intermediaries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The stream swaps technology seems to be drawing user attention to Thorchain. This feature allows users to swap with near-slippage free even without high liquidity. Technically, and as expected in decentralized exchanges, the lower the liquidity, the higher the slippage. The offer for low or zero slippage gives Thorchain a significant advantage over other cross-chain swaps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond trading, Thorchain has incorporated other defi solutions, including lending. In this arrangement, Thorchain now supports the trustless lending of assets without liquidity risk or interest, a deviation from traditional lending protocols, including Aave.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As DeFi TVL Recovers, Will RUNE Break To New 2024 Highs?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Together, these features have contributed to Thorchain’s growing trading volume, further cementing its position in the recovering DeFi scene. According to\u00a0<\/span>DeFiLlama<\/span><\/a>, Thorchain has a total value locked (TVL) of around $322 million. <\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Thorchain\u00a0<\/span>claims<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to have over 91,000 swappers. Cumulatively, the protocol has processed over $61 billion in trading volume.<\/span><\/p>\n
