⚡ Mimir Vote Needed
THORChain node operators are being urged to vote on a crucial Mimir update that promises to enhance network efficiency.
The update specifically targets:
- Arbitrage support - providing better tools for arbitrageurs
- Network optimization - improving overall system performance
- Operational efficiency - streamlining network operations

V3.14.0 Release Scheduled for Friday with Key Fixes
A new version **V3.14.0** is set to launch this Friday, bringing essential fixes and improvements to the platform. The development team describes this as a **small but important release**, focusing on stability and performance enhancements rather than major new features. Key highlights: - Targeted bug fixes and system improvements - Streamlined release focused on core functionality - Continues the platform's regular update schedule This follows the team's pattern of consistent updates, with previous releases showing their commitment to iterative improvements and maintaining platform reliability.
🔥 Cross-Chain Wars Heat Up
**Cross-chain competition intensifies** as most protocols rely on wrapped tokens and centralized solutions to scale. **THORChain takes opposite approach:** - Uses real assets instead of synthetic versions - No wrapped tokens or custodians required - Maintains decentralized infrastructure This creates a **fundamentally different model** - prioritizing resilience over quick scaling solutions that introduce trust assumptions. The battle lines are drawn between fast-scaling wrapped asset protocols and native asset approaches like THORChain.
