Hey, guys.
Glad to be back.
G to the M.
How are you?
G to the M.
Doing great.
Excited to chat updates.
What's been going on?
Good to be back on here.
I feel like it's been a bit.
Yeah, for sure.
I'm trying desktop audio, so let me know if it's all right.
Yeah, good to be back on here.
I feel like it's been a bit.
Yeah, for sure.
I'm trying desktop audio, so let me know if it's all right.
Loud and clear.
The beautiful voice of Mogarki.
The only one giving me a run for my money on that.
Cool, cool.
Should we get right into it?
Looks like we got a handful of people in here.
I'm just going to talk a little bit about that.
Cool, cool.
Should we get right into it?
Looks like we got a handful of people in here.
I'm just going to tweet out links to some of the proposals we might cover today, so you
can easily pin them when we get to those.
But yeah, feel free to get started.
Sure, yeah.
We can start there.
Maybe we'll see if a few more people come in for that, I guess.
Maybe we can start with some of the recap stuff, and then as people get in, we can get
into some of the current proposals and focuses and things like that.
What do you think?
Yeah, sounds good.
Cool, cool.
So you were mentioning the recap.
Is the recap up or not yet?
It'll be up shortly.
You can just cover it in this space.
Okay, cool.
And if you'd like to.
Let me get that pulled up if there's a draft I can find.
Or feel free to kick it off.
What's on the list there?
Sorry, guys.
This is a very belated 2023 overview post we're going to make.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Well, hope you won't have found the scavenger hunt fun.
We did the easter egg hunt before.
But yeah, this one was pretty interesting.
I think there was a few at the end that was slightly harder to find.
But yeah, hopefully we can do more cool things like that soon.
Any highlights from that?
Like what were some of the weird ones, if you remember?
Hard to find.
I think most of them were found within an hour or two.
The hardest one was probably, I think it's like Sin's E to Sin's Thor.
That's like double Sin.
I think that caused people a bit, took like a day or two.
Well, yeah.
Just like one specific pair.
That's, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I had dropped some hints like, you know, in there.
But yeah, that's fine.
That's cool.
Hopefully some people in here got some Thor out of that.
Yeah, hopefully that made a few people read the terms and conditions.
Because that paid you on.
There was a few heads on that page.
But yeah, let me just quickly cover some of the key things.
You know, key highlights of 2033.
Obviously, as expected, you know, I think everyone knows that a stream source was like a major game-changer feature.
And if you check on Thor yield, like, you know, ever since the launch of streaming swaps, we saw like a massive volume increase.
So overall, quite exciting to see the total volumes from 2033.
We had about 271 and a half, like million rune in volume, which equated to about like, 1.1 billion or 1.2 billion.
Yeah, almost 1.2 billion, like US dollar value.
So quite a big improvement for sure.
Especially considering most of the year was spent in the depth of the bear.
Yeah, not a bad bear market year for sure.
Looking forward to dwarfing it this year, hopefully.
But I was pretty excited to see that we crossed over a billion for the year.
Yes, and we're starting off really strong.
It's like, we've already, what is it?
It's like 100 something percent, 139% right now of the monthly volume target.
So I know some folks are concerned about like, you know, maybe the target being hard to reach as we keep smashing it.
But yeah, it seems to be doing great so far.
Yeah, no doubt that was like the breakthrough feature of 2023.
And yeah, it seems like it seems like that's just going to be dwarfed.
You know, hopefully in time, we'll, we'll be seeing what was daily as or what was monthly as daily or something, you know, like, not just on ThorSwap side, but just for ThorTrain as a whole, like that was kind of the, I think, long term, that'll be looked back on as like such a turning point feature.
Yeah, sure.
I think like, so overall, we generated 1.62 million USD affiliate fee earnings, making us still making ThorSwap the top ThorChain interface of 2023 by volume.
And I mean, the top swap route was still BTC with Room.
So overall, in terms of the TVL for ThorStakers, we also saw that jumped about a 50% increase from last year.
I'm sorry, from 2022.
So it's now, so we just hopped over 100 million ThorStakes.
It's 107 million Thor right now.
So yeah, and of course, alongside the governance, we burned 64.47 million Thor.
So yeah, exciting times.
Yeah, I think last year at this time, maybe I got my timeline wrong, but I think Thor burning was just an idea still, right?
We were just getting started on that path.
So to see, you know, more than 10% of the max supply burned in one year is pretty significant.
You know, I'm sure we'll get into that more with the proposals.
But personally, I'm feeling like, okay, we burned a lot.
Maybe we got to think about slowing down soon.
I know other people have the opposite idea where they just want to burn everything.
So it'll be an interesting thing to discuss.
Yeah, for sure.
I think that'll be a theme for this space, actually, as we kick off the year.
We have a lot of community proposals and discussions.
So we thought it would be good.
You know, we can get through some of those for sure.
Yeah, that's something we've always planted the seed on, on these spaces is like, how else can the community incentives be used really to just like, you know, spread adoption and get this thing out there.
So, yeah, definitely want to continue to encourage that conversation and not necessarily just have that be burn it all, though that is sometimes fun and has been fun.
But yeah, I think I think I would personally agree with with what Moog just said is probably probably close to time to start considering some other things and hopefully see some of these other things that have kind of been back burner for a while.
Like, like, like, like, we've talked maybe affiliate program things like that that could be tied in with with community incentives.
So hopefully we'll be seeing some of those things kind of kind of get back in the spotlight.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, for sure.
But before we get to that, though, because I think when we get to the community discussions, it'd be good for some of the, you know, we'll be putting out, you know, door holder slash community member hat on.
And, you know, rather than trying to sway, obviously, people's opinions with as contributors.
So we'll definitely definitely, you know, put your hand up to like, you know, you know, lead, take the lead of conversations if you want to, if you feel very strongly about certain proposals.
And of course, as always, if you have good questions and, you know, for anyone who sort of hop on space, we'll pick to win itself, like, you know, merge to get out at the end.
So, but yeah, before we hop into that, do you want to cover sort of some of the focuses, areas of focus for sort of like Q1, Q2, like early 2024?
Sure. Did we get through everything we wanted to just on recap stuff?
I mean, there's a lot of other highlights, too, for sure.
So, you know, a big one was we started formally introducing, like 2023, like sort of formal introduction of Socket, our own like API and SDK suite of like cross-chain products.
So, so far, you know, we had like, we still have been used in Edge Wallet, Coinbot, there's SQL Finance, there's a few others that we're yet to announce and a lot of partnerships, our integrators like currently working on, you know, integrating SwapKit.
So I think this will be a very exciting year to start like running out, you know, more news and more integrations.
I think one interesting goal to keep in mind would be like, like, when will a SwapKit integrator outpace ThorSwap's own volume?
That'll be a cool milestone.
Looking forward to it.
Yeah, that's something we should have as a North Star for the whole community. That'll be cool.
Yeah, for sure.
Help my memory, was Savers 2023 or was it before that? I guess it was before and then Staples got added?
Yeah, it was before that. I was going to print like, oh, exactly when? I can't remember. I was going to tune to, but yeah, definitely Savers, Staples got added and which was like a massive one for a lot of people.
And now that you can also stream into Savers and stream out of Savers, that's also made it really, you know, easy and accessible to use.
Yeah, I mean, streaming just generally, actually, like sort of was a huge game changer last year.
For sure. I mean, that definitely led to a lot of scaling in Savers, even if it launched before that. But yeah, definitely like felt like the year that it kind of found its fit in the market for sure.
Yeah, I can't say I've ever seen another feature, like come to an existing protocol and make actually such a ginormous impact on, you know, the market adoption of that protocol like streaming swaps has.
There's always noise around like every EIP, every bit like, oh, this is going to be the game changer. This is going to be the one that, you know, reduces gas by 100x or whatever.
And it's very rare to see those things come to fruition. But with streaming swaps, streaming Savers, like that feature has really just skyrocketed the whole protocol. So that's been pretty sweet.
Yeah, I think the surprise was just the fact that like, it was so organic, like, because we all love the idea, but it was the market that really like showed us how powerful the feature actually was.
Yeah, and it's still like really just getting started. I mean, when did that launch? Three, four months ago or something? I don't even, my timelines are all screwed up. But it feels like it hasn't been that long.
I think it was October.
Okay. So, so yeah, it was approximately right. But yeah, I mean, as we kind of see, like, you know, use like, the last few months have been kind of wild and like, in just in terms of broader like usage kind of kicking back in and like, that is a feature that's going to be like, come in handy so strongly when things are in full swing, you know, so like, that's great to have that foundation set. Like, there was so much building.
happening through through the depths of the bear and that's going to be like, something that just pays off so well, like when big users are coming in kind of ties into one of the things we were going to get into for areas of focus. This one is kind of just happened. But I feel like a lot of the things we were going to get into for areas of focus.
this one is kind of just happened. But I feel like it fits in right here is like the swapper cloud and network improvements. Because that kind of came out of out of streaming swaps led to then, essentially congestion due to like so much more usage, right? And like now just in the recent what week or two,
like swapper cloud rolled out rolled out and now 90x improvement to median transaction.
time. So no longer waiting for like hours and hours and hours when everyone's doing streaming swaps. So I feel like that's another one of these like small things that doesn't feel super sexy or super exciting. But when you kind of think about it and look at look at like, just the average user's experience, it's like a massive, massive shift in, in that. So that's another really, really pretty big one, actually.
Yeah, for sure. I think, you know, the impact on the outbound delays is going to be amazing for just the overall experience. And even for ARBs, like to be able to ARB these big swaps where we've seen in the past, like,
oh, someone came in and, you know, did a $4 million swap, and that threw the pools out of balance. For the ARBs to be able to use their swapper cloud and, you know, make more trades faster and keep those pools balanced is, you know, going to lead to more accurate price
execution, happier users, more volume, etc.
Totally. Yeah, ultimately comes down to like keeping the user experience good for people. And as it's getting integrated into like, so many mainstream wallets and stuff like can't have people waiting 12 hours for a swap or something like that. So yeah, that's a huge, huge one. Big improvement.
What else did we have from 2023? I think I just saw something a minute ago that was pretty cool.
You know, we did a lot in the ThorSwap UI. You know, the transaction tracker was a big one, being able to see what's going on with your transaction. I think a lot of people already forgot by now. But for, you know, probably two years, all we had was a spinning circle to find out what was up with your transaction. And, you know, now you can see what leg is your transaction in? How many streaming swap segments has it completed?
What's the estimated time of arrival? What's the estimated time of arrival? I think that was a great improvement overall. Definitely, we've had some technical challenges with that feature, but I think it's in a better state and getting better all the time. So I think that was a great addition to the UI this year.
And then another one that I'm really more excited about than most is the streaming swap settings or just the regular swap settings that we recently updated. So now it just makes it much easier and more intuitive to adjust your slippage.
Or, you know, if you're a power user and you want to choose, you know, how fast you want your swap to complete, how many sub-swaps you want to happen. If you want to DCA up to 24 hours, you can control all that right from the UI. So you get pretty granular control over those swap parameters.
I'm curious how you guys feel the feedback has been on that. And I'm curious even just to throw that out to the community. Like, have you guys been using that feature, tweaking that, or are you kind of just going with the default? Or is anyone, any contributors kind of like monitoring how many streaming swaps are having non-default settings? Just kind of curious, like, how that's been since launching that?
Yeah, that's a great question. We should try to pull some reports on what's different than the defaults and how many people are with it.
Yeah. Still new, but yeah, that'd be really cool to see, just to kind of figure out, like, oh, what are, like, what are users actually trying to do? Like, what are they generally trying to optimize for? But it's also great, just even if it's only a small percentage, that's kind of the point, too, is, like, the default should be what people generally want.
But then to be able to do these, like, edge case scenarios is still, like, hugely useful for when that's what you want.
Yeah, I think, like, after Swapper Cloud, you know, is launched, I think it actually came at a really good time, because now that, you know, with the, with less, like, outbound delays, you know, now people will actually have a better choice between, you know, like, speed versus price.
So, yeah, I'm curious to see what the configurations are. Actually, Chad, you know, it is the tweet that we made about it, the flop settings is pinned still, but on the ThorSwap, like, Twitter X page.
But you can pin it to this, like, space if you want, just so that folks know what we're talking about.
Yeah, I'll pin that up right now if anyone hasn't, hasn't seen that.
Yeah, so, like, it'll automatically pop up if your swap size is actually, you know, benefits from streaming swaps.
But, yeah, normally, you'll see slippage adjustments now.
It's that slider that should show up.
Very cool.
Yeah, we've had, yeah, we've had, like, some users, I think, when we just launched it, did mention that maybe, you know, it could be, like, an advanced feature.
And then we go back to the, like, the classic sort of speed versus price.
Yeah, I think we're open to all feedback on that front.
Yeah, I think we have a small tweak in coming for that, or we're just going to kind of minimize that section for most people.
And then you can expand it if you want to.
That way, the defaults, you know, you don't feel like you have to make a choice.
I think a lot of times it's intimidating when you're, like, I don't know what to do here.
So, if we make it seem like you don't need to choose, then you can just proceed.
And then if you know what's up, you can just expand it and make whatever changes you want.
Yeah, I'd agree with that.
You know, most users just want it, like, simple without kind of even needing to know every, yeah.
I mean, how many people truly even understand all of the little intricacies there?
But, yeah, good to have the options.
One of the cool things that we did behind the scenes that I don't think has gotten any publicity,
I don't know if we even mentioned it publicly, was just changing the default slippage settings.
I'm not sure if Oleg's in here.
Maybe he could dive into a little bit more of exactly how that works.
But, you know, what we're doing basically in the back end now is,
depending on what your swap is and what your swap pairs are and how large the swap is,
the API is making a recommendation of what the default slippage should be.
Instead of, in the past, like, we just tried to pick a number.
It used to be 1%, and then there was too many refunds, so we raised it to 3%.
Now there's a bit more intelligence behind determining what those automatic slippage settings should be.
Hey, guys.
Yeah, exactly.
So one of the main things that we're trying to do in the back end is also making sure that the defaults are super safe.
So with all the data that we've collected from all the streaming swaps,
but really since we were the first interface to integrate with streaming swaps,
we've got tons of data to kind of make the best decisions.
And basically, if you're doing a super large swap, then we're going to tweak the settings so it's a bit safer for you, the defaults.
But if you're making, like, a very normal swap, then we'll just try and get the fastest and the one that will lead to the less refunds.
But then also there are a couple of things.
If you are swapping against pools that don't have a strong secondary market, then we change those settings as well again.
And also we have an automatic switch that if for some reason the TorChain network itself,
like if sins are paused or whatever happens on the network,
then automatically it switches to the safest settings for everyone.
So again, it's really in the details, but we're just trying to make sure that all the users,
no matter their swap size, get the best and safest experience, no matter their network conditions.
That's awesome.
Love that.
Kind of just curious, though.
So does this mean, like, in pretty much, because for a while when streaming swaps came out,
it kind of went to just, like, the no price protection, right?
Because, like, at first there was a bunch of failing.
I guess now that's rare unless you actually just intentionally choose no price protection, right?
Like, meaning, like, now we kind of have the data such that, like, for different swap sizes,
it intelligently understands, like, where to place a cap slip on that size.
So now there is price protection in most cases.
Is that right?
So there is price protection in all cases if you don't tweak the settings.
But if you tweak the settings so you can go past optimal and to slower, sort of into a DCA,
in that case, we remove the limit because you're explicitly choosing to make the swap longer
than necessary and explicitly choosing to, yeah, just DCA over sometimes.
So then it really doesn't make sense to have a limit.
But for all other scenarios, by default, you have a limit depending on the pools you're interacting with
and the size of your swap.
That makes sense.
If you're going for slowest, you're basically saying,
I want to be exposed to the price movement over this period of time.
So obviously we can't put a limit there because it's pointless.
And regarding DCA or longer swaps or past the optimal point,
so right now the limit is 24 hours.
That's a limit defined by TorChain the network.
It is actually possible to do longer swaps than that,
I think up to a year for Synth assets, but you have to be coming from Synthetix.
We don't allow it yet on TorSwap just because we have like doubts
and we're a bit stressed about the user experience
because right now TorChain does not support cancelling a streaming swap.
So say you're swapping, I'll take round numbers,
like one Bitcoin for USDT and you want to stream that
and do a DCA over, I don't know, a month,
then we have no ability to let you cancel that swap
within two weeks or after three weeks.
We have to just let it go through.
So since the UX might be a bit hard to lend,
we don't allow it, but it's technically possible.
That's interesting.
Also, you don't get the assets like throughout the swap, right?
You get it all at the end, right?
So like you'd be essentially like stuck waiting.
Interesting feature though.
And yeah, maybe if, I don't know if cancellations or something
that's still kind of in the works are coming,
but yeah, it makes sense to, I feel like, yeah,
people would be hesitant to use that probably anyways
if there's no cancellations
because yeah, you're making quite a commitment to do that.
So it makes sense to kind of like limit it to the 24 hours.
I've been pushing for streaming swaps V2
with the V2 being mainly the ability for users to cancel.
I think it's just, it has fallen into the nice to have category
and it's not being prioritized and I understand.
But yeah, until the Torchain commits to improving the possibilities
with streaming swaps, I think the current user experience
is as advanced as we can push it reasonably.
I could see like, I don't know,
I could probably imagine some downsides
or like why you would hesitate to do that,
but maybe it could be like only cancellations
that are for really long-term swaps anyways,
just so there's not like stuff, everything being,
a bunch of things being canceled for whatever reason
and just causing a bunch of confusion.
But like if it was,
even if it was only 24 hour plus streaming swaps
that could be canceled, that would be cool.
Cool, cool.
What else we got here?
Oh, I can cover a few more.
Obviously, we saw the launch of lending.
It's been a bit, you know, of a,
like it's been quiet just because of the massive,
the massive like swaps and stuff like volume recently.
But, you know, at the moment,
borrowers have exceeded the lending cap of Bitcoin
and I still get people asking, you know,
on a day-to-day basis about like, you know,
oh, when can I still take a lot of loans using Bitcoin?
So, yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that,
how the feature of like the product evolves like this year.
Yeah, it feels like that gets into,
it feels like that definitely gets into the whole like,
how risky should the thing be?
Endless question in the Thornton community.
Because, yeah, I mean,
I think it's capped out because of the constraints, right?
Like it, so it hit the caps, but,
but overall like, yeah,
as far as on like the, the, the interface side,
like, I don't know,
I haven't heard of any, any like issues,
stuff like that.
So I would say that's been,
that's been a success as well.
Seems to be working, working well.
Yep, always, obviously, you know,
looking for feedback on,
on the UX interface side of things.
I think there is a minor issue recently of like,
users sort of getting stuck with like a penny,
like worth of,
worth of like loans.
And then it has to be sort of resolved using memo.
I don't know if you,
you have much idea around that, Oleg.
Sorry, I made that by,
could you repeat that please?
Oh, I think I was just saying like, you know,
we could always obviously improve the UX.
I just like recently,
I think there's an issue where like users might get stuck
with like one penny with,
when they're trying to replay the loan,
just because the way like,
I think actually,
what was the course for it again?
if you don't know what I'm talking about,
like, it's okay.
You mean like they pay back the loan,
but it doesn't like fully zero it out.
So there's still like a one penny loan,
like open that they're trying to close.
Yeah, that's,
that's a tough problem.
So for everything lending,
Thornode and Torchain devs have been really,
really great in that they provide us with endpoints
that we can quote,
but obviously Torchain being a faster chain
at a block time of six seconds,
basically the on-chain price of each asset
can fluctuate mostly faster
than all the external assets
or the ones that are enabled for lending.
So obviously it's a bit hard
for everyone to nail that experience.
I definitely hear,
and I have seen some of the complaints
or reports from users saying,
I'm trying to close the loan,
but I'm stuck with like a two cent repayment needed now.
But to be honest,
on our end,
it's really hard
or next to impossible
unless we just bump the amount
and ask for everyone
to repay a little bit more
than what they owe.
And because of gas fees,
it's just a hard experience to nail.
our amazing community member,
Koitsu Aiki,
wrote like a really detailed tutorial
for basically doing a manual loan repayment
through memos,
which has been great
to help users
sort of get their last penny out
and get the collateral back.
like just wanted to let everyone know
but we're definitely like looking into it.
It's not something we're not aware of.
But of course,
any feedback is always welcome.
feel free to like at me,
at PepperX on the Discord
if you ever have any,
other issues.
Other than that,
I think we,
one other thing is obviously
we saw Binance Smart Chain
being added in 2003.
It was the only
new block of chain integration,
but obviously a much requested one.
I was going to ask like the 4 Chain account
because I saw it like
on the space just now.
it's interesting timing
because we've saw recently
Airbnb is considering
like deprecating
the BEP2 chain.
I think we,
4 Chain added
BNB's smart chain
at kind of like the perfect time.
we'll probably see
like a plan
like announced soon
in regards to like
how the BEP2
like beacon chain
rack and rock
and sort of deprecated
on the 4 Chain side.
now that we've got
and also we launched
like ThorSwap launched
with PancakeSwap
DexEgregation.
So you obviously
like on ThorSwap
we support all the
like hundreds of BEP20 assets
now as well.
I think milestone
I didn't realize
I was talking on mute
for a second.
literally same here.
I was going to say
am I the only one
that is passionate
about BSC?
I will think
a couple weeks back
Pluto said,
let's get the network
back up and running.
AVAX was halted.
churn wasn't happening.
Get all that handled
and then we'll start
addressing the BNB plan
going forward.
Binance did make
that announcement
the old BEP2 chain
is not long
for this world.
kind of sad
to see it go
just for nostalgia reasons.
good timing
adding BSC
so it'll be
an easier transition.
actually while
this is happening,
essentially
like one of the only ways
you can still bridge,
you can still move the fund
from BEP2 to BEP20.
big public service
announcement here as well.
Like if you haven't
started yet,
it's worth
thought to kind of
start looking into it.
Thorswap got a mention
announcement,
That was kind of cool.
You definitely
don't want to end up
like how I ended up
right now.
I still have
a whole bunch,
thousands of dollars
of Synth UST
and Synth Luna
in my wallet.
those might be
collectibles someday.
extra collectible.
When we're all
billionaires,
those will have some.
Just kidding,
of course.
that's cool.
I think there's a couple
centralized
that still support
and some users
I think they help
like people swap
their rune
just for tax reasons
I think I heard.
But anyway,
definitely just
FYI to like
users if you still
BEP2 assets
for some reason
best to look into
how to like,
move that to BSC
or just swap
your rune to
native rune
if you can
because obviously
we don't know
the BNB timeline
do it soon.
Have we seen
have we seen
cannibalize
I haven't really
looked at how
that's shifted
I remember
the theory
was kind of
because it's
was so popular
how that's
I'm trying
I'm trying
savers vault
savers vault
that's a mouthful
twice as filled
beacon chain
there's one
it looks like
there's been
more volume
know which
icon is which
more volume
there's probably
just hanging
they'll need
themselves out
users still
beacon chain
I would say
it's still
one of the
deeper pools
look around
to the end
and you know
the assets
I wouldn't
be surprised
if you know
has to make
an announcement
move these
they don't
functionality
built into
don't quote
attempting
functionality
that chart
is getting
ridiculous
that really
accessibility
definitely
pretty much
is already
any wallet
that people
are really
pretty much
ShapeShift
not anymore
but there's
native users
really love
on KeepKey
your wallets
a keystore
so that'll
interesting

your first
they wouldn't

this has been
a well-known
thing within
bitcoin world
I don't know
but I mean
if we wanted
performant
monitoring
we actually
six months
we started
to monitor
like basically
even the ones
event that
somebody sends
like you know
Asgard address
last month
the network
best efforts
refund from
optimization
performance
just became
problematic
not monitoring
to address
the problem
transactions
could thrash
the network
generating
and bitcoin
and ethereum
and whatever
could just
create a lot
of performance
issues for
part of the
I definitely
understand that
side of the
I just try to
think of it
UX perspective
like I have
a thousand dollars
I want to swap
it into bitcoin
and then it
and I'm like
what's going on
I get that
it's legitimate
the important
thing here
just the UX
making sure
that people
some website
whatever the fuck
it's going to be
and you put
in your data
of what you're
looking to do
and it does a
and you can
on your phone
and transfer
and be done
without needing
anything yourself
that's the
safest way
but you should
also just put
like a note
like you know
please do not
alter the address
and doing so
loss of funds
I don't know
some sort of
like notice
so they understand
that the amount
and the address
are very specific
and not to
fuck around
jump on you
and derail
but I've just
been curious
about that
that's the best
answer I can
I don't know
if it's a good
answer or not
but it's the best
we just try
it with the way
the way it's
designed now
and you know
see how it goes
and we can always
adjust later
shipping is bad
so we sort
I was just
going to say
go in further
I just wanted
to circle back
a little bit
just to say
just to provide
some context
for the non-engineers
first-timers
here potentially
we've moved
on to discussing
areas of focus
for ThoughtSwap
and one of the
some key areas
of upcoming
ThoughtChain updates
so when we
I forgot to
sort of break
we say Chad
is running
the ThoughtSwap
running the
hosting the
ThoughtChain
and he just
got through
in terms of
transactions
really exciting
when we say
that's what
we're talking
so Memolist
transactions
exciting way
to be able
to register
before a swap
so essentially
I think what
that means
for ThoughtSwap
cross-chain
without having
to connect
figure out
which wallets
that stuff
waiting for
this feature
to be deployed
and the UX
to be designed
and you know
as mentioned
like one idea
you just scan
send the tokens
you want to swap
to receive
I was going
Moog a question
which is like
what do you
memo lists
on ThorSwap
like do you
think this is
something ThorSwap
like do you
think it'd be
like a separate
swap interface
I'm just curious
if you have
like a vision
for that yet
yeah definitely
just in my head
maybe we'll
improve this
or change it
but right now
if you go to
without connecting
your wallet
any amount
and get a quote
but instead
of a swap button
at the bottom
of the screen
you see a connect
wallet button
next to that
connect wallet
you could just
have a QR code
and you see
that QR code
it just pops up
you scan that
with your phone
whatever your
preferred wallet
it preloads
the address
to send to
the amount
and all you
need to do
is press send
on your phone
after you scan
the QR code
and your swap
you don't have
to log into
you don't have
about extensions
you don't have
to worry about
is my wallet
supported here
just scan the QR
you're done
so I see it
kind of running
in parallel
to everything
we have now
and just giving
another method
to interact
with really
any wallet
that supports
if you just
exactly this
that works
a little bit
pretty simple
super exciting
start executing
of community
they'll be
formally launch
or at least
interesting
generating
the channel
third chain
figure out
prevention
mechanisms
that there's
and trying
to generate
hundreds of
thousands of
all of our
I'm planning
on addressing
that because
once memos
transactions
I'm planning
on building
that registers
or whatever
and the way
planning on
handling this
re-implementing
the Bitcoin
mining logic
that's like
global across
this particular
so that with
relative to
the number
of requests
made in the
last I don't
minutes or
20 minutes
or whatever
mining that
you have to
browser has
be able to
proof that
you've done
a bunch of
computations to
methodology
to deal with
that scenario
really cool
thinking like
the transaction
fee collection
being overly
I mean you
can obviously
do what you
generally like
the mining
that's happening
will be so
fast that you
won't even
really notice
significant
times like
the time you
wouldn't even
know that it
happened it
would just be
a click and
done but it
would only
start to kick
in once like
you know there's
some sort of
DOS attack of
some kind or
whatever and
you can configure
the server to
be like you
sensitive you
mining you
know inclined
to be right
the curve of
the difficulty
blah blah blah
you'll be able
to like have
that kind of
configuration of
it but one
of the things I
find very kind
of fascinating
from a wallet
perspective on
Memolus is that
like ThorSwap
it's almost the
opposite of
ThorSwap in
some ways like
ThorSwap has
put together like
a really good
and large team
and it's built
this really kind
of like advanced
interface with a
functionality and
usability and
you know and
with that comes
a lot of cost
like it costs
a lot of money
to keep the
lights on you
know at the
ThorSwap you
know team and
so forth and
I think one of
the things I
find really
fascinating about
this is that
somebody could
build which is
not going to
somebody I
think I think
interested in
doing this but
like somebody
can build a
very basic
very simple UI
that has no
real maintenance
to it has you
know almost no
very little
development and
very little
maintenance to
it but it's
you can run
the whole thing
by you know
month you know
in operational
costs and then
maybe you have
one person that
you know just
responds to
to you know
outages and
that kind of
thing but like
there really is
no need to
keep up with
the latest
Thorchain thing
or whatever
like it you
could just do
fucking swaps
doesn't you
could use them
a list to do
loans and like
other savers and
like other
theory but
it would just
be designed to
do this one
thing with this
very simple
very clean UI
and then the
affiliate fee would
be like one
bit you know
or something
extremely small
because it costs
so little to
build it and it
costs so little
to maintain it
you can you
know have a
really really
cheap system
which case that
would hopefully
in theory that
should mean that
the trade volume
of Thorchain
should you know
increase significantly
because it's
so it's so
cheap to use
than being
like rather
than opting
for like trust
bit you know
expense that
they put on
you you could
just use trust
wallet but then
just scan the
QR code and
do the same
trade for one
bit instead of
70 bits like
it's 70x less
in fees that
you're paying and
just the fact that
you're paying less
in fees also
should inherently
mean that the
volume is increasing
right because it's
yeah pretty
interesting
I'm thinking
about like all
the infrastructure
stuff and one
of the big things
is like when you
connect someone's
wallet you've got
to be able to
check the balances
you've got to be
able to find out
what's happening
across 10 different
blockchains for
their wallets
so that means
you've got to
either run those
nodes connect to
those centralized
providers for all
those chains but
if you're doing
memo lists you
don't care what
their wallet balance
is you don't need
to know you don't
have to look any
of that information
up so it just
takes a lot of
overhead away
right you can
just I mean if
they want to send
a thousand bitcoin
in their swap they
can go ahead and
try you know
obviously it's not
going to be sent
obviously put it
put in a reasonable
amount that you
actually want to
be sending like
one bitcoin or
half a bitcoin or
whatever you're
trying to do
right and so
just removing all
that overhead and
being a super
clean super
simple this
bare minimum
thing just be a
very clean swap
you I believe I
think that's going
to be really
positive for the
protocol in general
I think there may
be some implementation
challenges across
different platforms
like how does it
work when your
iOS device scans
the QR code
versus your
Android device
how do you
choose what the
default wallet is
does your OS
provide a good way
to do that
does every wallet
maintain every single
detail or do they
did some of them
round off the
numbers so that we
lose the important
information about
like how many sats
are included
so those kind of
things are going to
take some time to
iron out I think
we're going to have
to make sure like
we test this with a
whole bunch of
different wallets
that you know
there's not some
edge case where
oh this wallet when
you scan the QR code
it drops the last
four digits so now
memos doesn't work
at all we have to
think about all
those little things
as we go through
an implementation
but overall I
still think it's
really exciting
yeah I think
you're right
there's definitely
going to be a
fair share of
like oddities
and edge cases
I can even like
for example even
if your Bitcoin
wallet uses
Taproot addresses
it wouldn't work
for Thorchain
that kind of
Golang game
that registers
probably supply
the address
that you're
sending from
even though it's
not really used
it just doesn't
some quick
validations to
make sure that
that the address
you're sending
something that
Thorchain you
know can parse
or understand
you know but
you're right
there's probably
going to be a
whole myriad of
you know edge
cases that are
you know problematic
and we'll have to
make some changes
and edits to
address that
win hard fork
win hard fork
you mean forking
Thorchain into a
new Thorchain
no no I just
around Taproot
possible without
to be honest
I don't have a
good I don't have
a good answer
it's hard to
prioritize it
because I don't
really have a
good sense of
Taproot really
I know some
wallets use it
and that's great
and everything
I don't know
it would be
obviously a bunch
something we've
been meaning
to do for a
but it's always
deprioritized
because there's
always something
more important
you know like
memo transactions
like order books
like you know
affiliate fee
improvements
for to be able
TrustWallet
into using
because it's
making a million
dollars a month
or something like
this like there's
always just something
that seems just
more important
than a hard fork
it always gets
deprioritized
aren't all the
inscriptions
everything's based
on Taproot
I believe so
we don't really
use inscriptions
ourselves of course
so we're not really
the problem
with inscriptions
is that the
and so you
need to make
Bifrost is like
Johnny on the
the mempool
is scanned
to the tip
of the mempool
falling behind
because there's
like 200,000
transactions
sitting in
inscriptions
so we made
improvements
performance
of Bifrost
that inscriptions
would give
on that note
while we have
really interesting
potentially
lower gas fees
even further
like in throughput
order like
order books
that's been
developed for
do you have
order books
will probably
more likely
is already
to connect
and we have
to refactor
for streaming
and we have
to refactor
trade assets
instead of
synthetics
transactions
transaction
throughput
is capable
is basically
transactions
other side
transaction
same thing
an infinite
and effect
almost every
centralized
throughput
even though
they don't
actually use
social signatures
except for
like extreme
like somebody
just pumping
through 40
million dollars
within like
10 minutes
or something
fucking ludicrous
except for
times like
the throughput
meaning that
like we'll
like every
release or
something like
eventually
just doing
functioning
and working
transactions
transaction
misreading
transaction
or something
have to be
very careful
terribleness
cautiously
scalability

constantly

absolutely

synthetics

as powerful

theoretically
interesting
highlights
connecting
that's weird
a different
centralized
strategies
imbalanced
opportunity
prioritizes
opportunity
opportunity
ineffective
uncompetitive
competitive
that knows
that there
opportunities
where he's
traditional
centralized
deck space
especially
that there's
competition
very highly
competitive
for example
you probably
don't have
enough capital
to even do
honest with
most people
lesser known
lesser volumes
there's probably
in the bone
there and I
that Thorchain
don't even
even possible
on Chainflip
since they
middle asset
but anyway
no you can
totally do it
on Chainflip
kind of like
it's not really
ARBing per se
but yeah you
can totally
ARB between
Chainflip and
you could actually
do that too
right like look
at the Bitcoin
price on Thorchain
look at the
Bitcoin price
on Chainflip
especially if we
can get some
DEX aggregation
between Chainflip
and Thorchain
that would be
we got accounts
all across
like Kraken
International Binance
I'm kind of
the person
and they're
they're down
even worth
even worth
definitely
you should
totally do
an arbitrager
the number
pools have
disagreement
with major
centralized
exchanges in
not insignificant
so that to
pretty strong
signal that
we could use
I actually
arbitring a
while back
bitcoin in
that's cool
you're making
the market
price discovery
you're making
markets more
basically the
customer is
being screwed
you're also
making a lot
at the same
one of the
one of the
funny things
that is one
of like the
grail goals
becomes the
biggest exchange
in the world
right and so
a majority
of the largest
exchange by
bitcoin trading
spot trading
happens on
and if that's
the price of
bitcoin is
established on
which is kind
blowing concept
want to know
of bitcoin
place in the
world to look
is actually
at Thorchain
tells you the
actual fucking
price because
that's where
most of the
as I'm hoping
happens one
yeah that's
well thank
no worries
no worries
you're a little
poor bitcoin
humble brag
drinks are
Mogarki I owe
I'll be happy
to buy you
you're going
by the way
I'll probably
think Boulder
before East
hanging out
with a couple
buddies of
but I'll be
hanging around
going to be
grab a beer
or whatever
event coming
we're going
sponsoring
collaborative
where we're
just going
or something
people can
all things
I'm going to
try to pass
Chad Thoreau
distractions
I actually
of covered
improvement
30 seconds
announcements
or anything
supporting
Trader Joe
interesting
potentially
definitely
definitely
interfaces
for Solana
things I'm
conference
interested
conference
conversation
perception
talks I've
ridiculous
handled it
great though
would have
that would
handled it
that'll be a
fun clip to
back up in
couldn't even
hear the guy
reason like
could hear
myself and
couldn't hear
just could
barely hear
anything so
I could barely
hear the insults
that he was
throwing at
honest with
you you're
smiling I'm
just like yeah
I don't know
what you're
like should I
slap you like
Will Smith
something like
think that had
just happened
Will Smith
protocols name
that would
amazing that
would have
been like the
perfect meme
right there
guys let's
wrap it up
thanks a lot
real quick we
didn't give
let's pick a
couple people
real quick
paper I'll
account grab
free merch
you want to
sweet yeah
shit emoji
yeah thank
contributing
got a whole
closet full of
merch by now
just kidding
always he's
always a good
one so he's
got I would
imagine he's
probably had
some but it's
you know we
gotta get more
like community
engagement though
totally no
he's yeah he
he more than
deserves it he
should have a
full closet of
ThorSwap merch
for for the
engagement and
activity so
yeah totally
but yeah I
think that covers
it oh he wants
to come up let's
see he's gonna
he's gonna
comment on
his on his
thing I you
can't give it
away to somebody
I literally have
everything so
give it to
somebody that
that you know
needs more
merc I I can
literally dress
like from my
shoe to my I
everything so
don't I'll
make somebody
else happy
love it let's
pass it on
appreciate that
and by the
way just to
say that you
made you guys
made me laugh
but that guy
Muller I should
remember and
he's a if an
idiot I'm sorry
like he's very
smart like he's a
good talker but
he's an idiot and
he's in he's a
bit he's a maxi
right but he's in
love with his
lightning thing
they're always
striking I think
so oh my god
that was painful
to hear but it
all right you
too uh yeah
let's I guess
let's pick one
more then um
let me see who's
been in here
I want to give
it to Chad B
but he doesn't
respond to our
DMs I remember
we gave it to
Chad B like um
I think one of
the previous
spaces but he
never claimed
it wow I know
I gotta do that
I actually don't
have much for
like merch of
the protocol that
I helped design
build an architect
I barely have
and the things
that I do have
my wife just
made you know
on her own
of some funny
t-shirt or
something you
got the Thor
Force ones that's
the that's my
that's the legend
date yeah I've
got I've got
those that's
about it yeah
that's my best
that's the thing
I like I barely
even touch them
just because I
don't want to
same ruin them
I think my
ruin suit is
tough to beat
yeah that one
was legendary
I remember
I remember
those that
what's funny
is like the
other day I
Brian Pellegrino
I think his
name is from
layer zero
layer zero
sparkling water
no I'm just
he posted a
video like the
new offices they
have and I
don't know what
city was in but
they're just like
really beautiful
like you know
some high tower
whatever I was
like watching
like oh these
offices are
amazing and I
remember like
thinking myself
Thorchain will
fucking never
we've just
always been
such a uniquely
very tiny tiny
tiny tiny king
distributor around
you know what
Chad neither
will Bitcoin
that's exactly
you'll never
have to see a
Bitcoin office
anywhere and
that's kind of
like the right
way to do it
in a sense
right yeah
who's signing
the lease on
that thing
how's it being
paid like how
many employees
do you actually
have in order
to fill that
up hundreds I
guess right
I mean to be
fair like they've
had huge amounts
of investment
like ridiculous
like fucking
ridiculous amounts
of investment
and they've
gotten they
paid out a
huge amount
of money to
like to like
and like other
kind of famous
faces to be
sponsors and
such like they
just have a
huge capital
behind them
so they can
do that stuff
and not really
be concerned
about but we
have just a
shoestring budget
ourselves we
have so few
people people
take very low
salaries to be
honest with you
relative to what
you can get in
the market today
it's just we're
just so efficient
you know and
protective of
whatever capital
totally good
we'll do it
later guys
thanks everyone
