    Through RUNE, THORChain enables trustless trading and token swaps for a variety of cryptocurrencies, ranging from bitcoin to ether. Using RUNE as an intermediary allows assets from one network to be traded for assets from another in a decentralized way without the use of smart contract-based “bridges.”

    A trustless trading system is one in which players do not need to know the identities of other participants.

    According to a developer note, synthetics will boost network traffic, network total value locked (TVL), pool depth, resulting in lower swap costs, and create more cash for liquidity providers. The upgrade was approved by a two-thirds majority of distributed node operators.

    Synthetics raises the demand for RUNE inside the network, which boosts their desirability among liquidity providers that offer the underlying tokens in exchange for a fee. This enables all synthetic assets to be exchanged on an uniform basis with the underlying asset — for example, a synthetic bitcoin on THORChain will be easily redeemable for one bitcoin.
