Bitcoiners to Learn about DeFi on Bitcoin in 2024

THORChain has integrated Trezor hardware wallet support into its swap platform at [swap.thorchain.org](http://swap.thorchain.org). **Key Features:** - Users can now connect their Trezor wallets directly to the platform - Enables native asset swaps without requiring wrapping or bridging - Provides hardware wallet security for cross-chain transactions This integration expands THORChain's wallet compatibility, allowing Trezor users to access decentralized cross-chain swaps while maintaining their assets in cold storage.

**ThorWallet Premium card** is launching as a virtual Mastercard with Apple Pay integration and global tap-to-pay functionality. Users maintain full custody of their keys throughout. **Unstoppable Wallet** is adding native THORChain support, bringing $RUNE, $TCY, and other THORChain assets to mobile. Android version is nearly complete, with iOS following shortly. **THORDEX Earn** went live, allowing users to put idle $RUNE and $RUJI to work through RujiraNetwork. **RUNEBondApp** integrated the THORChain official swap widget, enabling users to buy $RUNE without leaving the site or connecting a wallet. The platform also added an Operator Power indicator to node cards, showing network control distribution. **Vultisig** expanded to Firefox, bringing MPC security to the browser.

THORChain has published an educational article explaining six preset strategies for CCL (Concentrated Liquidity) on the Rujira Network. **Key Points:** - The guide aims to help users navigate CCL strategy building - Six different preset approaches are detailed - Designed for users uncertain about where to begin The article is available on THORChain's blog: [Explanation of the 6 Preset Strategies](http://blog.thorchain.org/explanation-of-the-6-preset-strategies-to-help-create-your-ccl-strategy) This resource provides a structured starting point for liquidity providers looking to optimize their positions on the Rujira Network.

THORChain has introduced **ADR-029**, a proposal that would allow the protocol to share swap fee revenue with approved affiliates instead of charging users higher fees. The **REVSHARE mechanism** aims to: - Incentivize high-value integrations with THORChain - Drive increased swap volume through the protocol - Keep swap costs lower for end users Node operators are currently voting on this governance proposal. The change would fundamentally alter how affiliates are compensated, shifting from user-paid fees to protocol revenue sharing.

**THORChain's block-based settlement creates a timing gap** that prevents perfect real-time arbitrage. Swaps settle at the end of each block in a fixed order—secure by design, but not instant. **Rujira Network bridges this gap** through its Virtualisation Strategy: - Users receive tokens **instantly** from Rujira's lending pool - Rujira executes the actual THORChain swap at block end - Charges a small premium while absorbing brief price risk **The result**: automatic arbitrage every block when price deviations occur, keeping THORChain prices more accurate and reducing slippage. Combined with Rapid Swaps, execution becomes notably faster. This builds on Rujira's earlier work capturing arbitrage volumes through concentrated liquidity strategies that track enshrined oracle prices—bringing value back into the ecosystem instead of external bots.
