June 15th Update: Trading is expected to go live this week! The upcoming mainnet upgrade will deploy the Gaia infinite-mint patch alongside various stability fixes. 👉 The Sequence: Once deployed, the final vault churn triggers. As soon as that subsequent churn completes, trading will be resumed. 👉 Timeline: Anticipated restart is expected mid-to-late week. Right after the restart, the multi-chain integration assembly line fires up: 🔹 Zcash live within 1-2 weeks 🔹 Monero ( $XMR ) targeted for mid July 🔹 Bittensor ( $TAO ) & Dash ( $DASH ) lined up " We're gonna get online and within a month all these positive things are happening. It's gonna give people whiplash." The momentum is shifting. Let's get it. ⚡ @THORChain thorchain:native
.@THORChain trading could be back by mid next week. v3.19.1 ships the final fixes. Zcash lands within weeks of restart. Monero targets July. This week's THORSday recap is live: 👇🏻 blog.thorchain.org/thorchain…

This is why I'm a decentralization/permissionlessness maximalist. In theory, having DeFi allow everything but effectively-screened illicit transactions sounds great. In practice, government and regulators will always trend towards incompetence and evil, and will sanction innocent users, rendering transaction screening based on this useless or evil. The best path forward is fully-permissionless protocols. With that constraint, then do whatever is best for catching criminals.
HTX sanctions have single-handedly undone years of work trying to get defi protocols and swappers to actually screen and block stolen funds. Treating every user of a top 10 exchange as ~sanctioned is fucking retarded and has led to a lot of legit people being frozen and unable to access their funds. Services shouldn’t serve thieves and money launderers and terrorists. But….I can’t defend this shit. HTX users are an insanely diverse set of people. Some criminals. But *most* are legit. The UK’s move here has had worse trickle down impact on legit people than Tornado did. It’s fucking insane.

THORChain Incident Update #6 The next major step in the recovery process is now underway. Validators are being asked to review, approve, and prepare for the v3.19.0 upgrade, which contains the TSS security patches and ADR028 implementation designed to address the economic impact of the hack. One of the key additions in this release is a new mechanism that allows the network to quarantine compromised vaults. This ensures affected vaults can no longer participate in transaction processing while the network maintains full visibility over their activity. The recovery plan is as follows: 1/ Vote to approve release 3.19.0. 2/ Upgrade the network on Monday. 3/ Enable the Compromised Vault mimir to quarantine the compromised vault. 4/ Validate the ADR-028 store migration. 5/ Verify the integrity of every node's keyshares via the new temporary keyverify protocol. 6/ Unhalt signing. 7/ Initiate the churn. 8/ Wait for churn to finish 9/ Unhalt Secured and Trade assets 10/ Unhalt LP actions 11/ Unhalt trading If approved by validators, the upgrade is expected to begin tomorrow, bringing the network one step closer to a full restart.

A private, Monero-forked stablecoin that survived a 95% collateral crash. Yield from proof-of-work block emissions, not lending. Now eyeing a path onto @THORChain once Monero ships. Check out this week's recap with @zephyr_org: 👇🏻 blog.thorchain.org/the-stabl…

.@deving_zone is so much more than a block explorer. It tracks @THORChain's entire app layer, every team, DAO & smart contract, gives every connected chain its own onboarding hub, and turns live swaps into music. Severin walked us through all of it. Full recap 👇 blog.thorchain.org/more-than…

May 30th @THORChain Update: Stagenet testing, full vault churning, and then trading goes live next week. ⚡ This timeline remains contingent on no new bugs surfacing during Maya's testing phase. Pivoting completely to the new DKLS23 vaults is a massive milestone for long-term security, and safely migrating these assets is entirely worth the wait. THORChain is coming back stronger than ever. Let's get it. 🤝 thorchain:native
May 28th Update: A staged restart is the right move by @THORChain . Security testing and getting ADR028 approved shows the team is prioritizing safety over speed. Looking forward to seeing the native liquidity rails back online soon. 🛠️⚡ thorchain:native

Alright Thorchads! Once again, here is my proposal on how to move forward after Friday’s TSS vault exploit. Looking forward to constructive feedback to make it better, and looking forward to read new and different proposals if you have one! It is important to participate actively during this time. Let’s go!! @THORChain gitlab.com/-/snippets/599292…
Alright Thorchads, here is my proposal to get TC out of the mess quickly and in full force, while keeping its reputation and TVL. The world needs a rich and diverse cross chain DEX market, we are rooting for each of you @THORChain ❤️ Let’s do this gitlab.com/-/snippets/480155…

There's a good reason THORChain's being smeared online after the recent exploit: symbolism. The protocol has become the symbol of permissionless finance. When it dared to try to resist censorship, it painted a massive target on its back. Now, people who champion permissioned protocols are piling on, because permissionlessness is a threat to them. And yes, even architects of other permissionless protocols are joining in out of pure envy. THORChain is technology filled with innovation and genius, flaws and mistakes. But, like it or not, in this moment it represents much more than just itself. Stand with the THORChads, not because you like them, but because right now, they're at the front lines of the war for freedom. Asgard calls for aid.
