Simply Explained: Thorchain (RUNE)
Thorchain is a decentralised liquidity network that supports a variety of assets. Thorchain allows users to swap native assets across chains using a series of liquidity pools that are all interconnected by the base asset, RUNE.
Liquidity providers can pool their funds to earn a yield (passive income). The yield is based on the trading fees from their chosen pool and THORChain reward emissions.
THORChain (ticker symbol RUNE), is a project we at Cryptonary have been very bullish on since early 2021. For more details on why, we encourage you to check out our exclusive Pro report here.
In this piece, we’ll cover a very basic analogy to help you understand one of the main selling points of this fascinating project.
ThorChain
Let’s dive in and explain THORChain as simply as possible. As in other crypto school pieces, a strong definition and a good analogy is a great way to understand the fundamentals of a project.In a simple sentence, THORChain is comparable to any other Decentralised Exchange, for example, Uniswap, except it allows swapping across multiple chains. In essence, anyone can exchange one Layer 1 digital asset for another in a single click. No need for custodians like Binance or Coinbase, and no need for wrapped tokens like wETH and wBTC.
Users can also earn a yield on their assets by becoming Liquidity Providers. Yield is paid in both RUNE and the other assets in the chosen pool. For more information on providing liquidity, check out this article.
What problem is THORCha
in fixing? Interoperability is the keyword that comes to mind when discussing THORChain. It essentially means the ability to share information between different, but similar systems. Whether between different products (think Apple and Microsoft), or applications in different ecosystems. In the case of THORChain, the shared information is coins and tokens across blockchains.For example, regardless of what phone network people use, it’s possible to call anyone on the planet as long as they have a working phone and a signal.
Whether you’re with EE, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Verizon - a phone call is a phone call. Mobile networks have made the process so seamless, that we never even question what network we or our friends are using (except when bragging about how good of a deal we’ve got).
Now imagine if we could only call people who were on the same network as us! What a mess, right? Cellphone technology would remain so limited and adoption rates would stay low, and if one powerhouse did emerge there would be a big risk of monopoly forming. That’s the problem we are currently facing in crypto right now.
If one friend wants to send us Solana but we only have an Ethereum wallet, they can’t send the SOL to us. The same is true in reverse.
We did cover sending crypto across chains, but manually doing so is a tedious process that can be expensive and time-consuming. So THORChain is attempting to solve this cross-chain issue with their technology in an attempt to make crypto an interoperable space that is future proof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
