With the publication of this latest version, there are various improvements that are intended to increase the cross -chain liquidity. The introduction of Cosmos SDK V0.50 is one of the largest innovations because they improve the compatibility with other blockchains that support the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.
Previously, Thorchain was only a tool for the cross -chain exchange of assets, but it has developed into something that is more adaptable and willing to meet more demanding requirements.
In addition, the TenderMint project was converted to CometBft, which not only increases security, but also accelerates the conclusion of transactions. In this way, users enjoy faster transactions without affecting the stability of the network or decentralization.
Apart from the technical details, Thorchain has changed significantly in terms of economic philosophy and the approach. Together with the development team and the community, Thorchain founder JP Thorbjornsen decided in January 2025 to hire the Torchorfi-Spar- and rental programs for twelve months.
This step was not without reason, because one wanted to make sure that the system is prepared for greater scalability before further expand these offers.
Then the operators of the Thorchain nodes agreed to convert $ 200 in equity token on February 4, 2025. Even if not everyone agreed, this strategy should improve the economic basis of the ecosystem. In view of the volatility of the cryptom market, some community members wondered whether this relocation would really be sustainable in the long run.
In addition, the Thorchain community made another important decision on February 11, 2025: it lowered the block-incentive for validists from 25,000 rune per day to just 2 rune per day. These measures are intended to ensure the financial load-bearing capacity of the project and reduce token inflation.
However, these extreme changes give the reason to ask: Will the validators stay in the network or will they leave the ecosystem due to the strongly falling profitability?
One thing is clear in all of these developments: Thorchain does not hesitate to try new ideas and overcome large distances. While the persecuted economic strategies reflect the will to maintain the ecosystem, the merging of Cosmos SDK and Cometbft shows that they want to increase technical efficiency.
If the best case scenario occurs, Thorchain becomes one of the main actors on the cross-chain defi market. In the future, however, major changes could become necessary if some of these split decisions should cause new problems. In any case, the crypto community will watch every action closely.
In the meantime, Rune is traded for around $ 1.18 at the time of the creation of this article, which corresponds to a slight decline of 0.82 % in the last 24 hours and a correction of 20.22 % in the last 30 days.
