THORChain Weekly Live

Matt Carano, a liberty-focused podcaster and writer behind Brave The New World, talks first principles, voluntarism, and the non-aggression principle. He explores sovereign technologies like money, AI, energy, and the risks of centralized control. Conversations touch on Starlink, militarized robots, local AI models, crypto’s role in resisting state power, and visions of agent-driven economies.

Pragmatic Monkey (PM), product and technical lead for Rujira, gives concise engineering updates and roadmap notes. They cover CCL rollout, FIN releases, virtualization strategies, and backtester results. Short segments dive into UI/analytics priorities, AI agent integration, arbitrage mechanics, and fee experiments.

Ben (UnhappyBen), Head of Marketing & Growth at Peer — building a non-custodial, permissionless P2P fiat on/off-ramp using zero-knowledge proofs. He discusses how Peer proves off-chain payments while blinding PII. Conversations cover ZK readiness and UX challenges, using existing payment rails permissionlessly, modular swap integrations, liquidity and limits, and privacy risks of centralized on/off-ramps.

They discuss Nine Realms stepping back and the plan for a decentralized handover. Operational transitions, node rebonding, and new hires are covered. Adding SOL, ZEC, PAXG and stablecoin strategies on various chains are explored. Router v6, rapid swaps, memo-less outbound transactions, Huginn monitoring, ADR23 burn, and meetup plans are highlighted.

They unpack Zano’s privacy-by-default design, confidential assets, and a planned move from hybrid PoW/PoS to faster PoS block times. The conversation covers gateway addresses for DEX integration and Bridgeless/TSS approaches to secure cross-chain bridging. Listeners also hear about the Freedom Dollar private stablecoin, node requirements and community plans for integration and liquidity support.

They dig into RapidSwaps rollout, how faster sub-swaps could shrink huge streaming trades to minutes. A deep look at Hugin’s AI testing and how it flagged a major exploit early. Data integrations and dashboards for on-chain visibility get covered. Technical roadmap items like v3.17, limit swaps, batched Bitcoin outbounds and ADR23 reserve changes are discussed. Community meetups and treasury contingency plans are also mentioned.
