Its app layer ecosystem means developers can build decentralized apps that tap directly into liquidity across chains. Unlike most platforms, it offers real ownership of your assets, deep liquidity, and fast swaps in one seamless network.

In this podcast, Chad goes over the most recent developments, like the adoption of rapid swaps, voting for POL, adding Monero with Boone's help, the latest AI developments, and his new three ideas! Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! TL;DR: Community member @BooneW has built a working Monero chain client using AI tools and a FROST signing implementation. Chad says $XMR could be added to THORChain within months, possibly the next chain after Zcash. Nodes will soon vote directly on what percentage of system income goes to Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL), replacing the old incentive pendulum and ADR24 proposal. Chad shared three forward-looking ideas he's researching: concentrated liquidity powered by the app layer's oracle system, flash loans for arbitrageurs, and a decentralized UI deployment platform. @Maya_Protocol agreed to test 2-second block times first as a "canary chain" before THORChain implements the change. A stablecoin fee experiment may lower stable-to-stable fees to 1-2 bips to capture volume from NEAR, which does ~$100M daily in stablecoin swaps alone.

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.
