Thu 11th Apr 2024
The Protocol Owned Liquidity (PoL) on Thorchain has now demonstrated profitability, accumulating RUNE tokens through its liquidity provision across all allowed pools. The key change was PoL becoming 'sticky', allowing it to remain deployed for longer periods. By diversifying across multiple pools, PoL earns the aggregate Liquidity APY of 21%, mitigating impermanent loss risk. Over time, the yield earned outweighs impermanent losses, leading to profitability.

Decentralized Network Handles Adversarial Situation Swiftly

Mon 8th Apr 2024
On April 10th, 2024, the decentralized THORChain network detected a large, unusual transaction at 12:03. Within 4 minutes, at 12:07, one of the 102 active nodes initiated an automatic pause of the network as a security precaution. The community then conducted due diligence and the network was unpaused at 12:23, resuming normal operations within 20 minutes of the initial pause. This incident demonstrated the network's ability to rapidly respond to potential threats in a decentralized manner, with each node having the capability to pause the entire chain for 60 minutes to trap any attackers and their funds. The swift action was facilitated by security tools implemented following the Chaosnet Events in 2021.
