THORChain Launches Native Swap Interface

THORChain has launched a public beta of swap.thorchain.org, a native swap interface positioned as the protocol’s primary front-end for cross-chain cryptocurrency trading. THORChain is a decentralized liquidity protocol for native asset swaps. The interface allows users to exchange digital assets directly between blockchains without wrapped tokens, bridges, or centralized intermediaries.

The platform supports swaps of native assets such as BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, TRX, DOGE, BCH, LTC, AVAX, and ATOM using self-custody wallets. Users are not required to connect a wallet to the website to initiate a swap, reflecting THORChain’s focus on minimizing dependencies at the interface level. All swaps are routed directly through the THORChain protocol, ensuring transactions remain native and non-custodial.

The swap interface is open source and designed for use by both new and experienced DeFi participants. The beta phase is aimed at gathering user feedback ahead of a planned official release in the first quarter of 2026. Future updates are expected to expand token support, improve onboarding visibility, and integrate additional protocol functions such as liquidity provision and bonding.
