On October 21, someone swapped 32 $BTC for $2.65M of USDT on TRON, through @TrustWallet, powered by @SwapKitPowered. The USDT pool on THORChain held $248K. In one shot, that trade would have emptied the pool. The math gives about $25K out for $2.65M in. THORChain streamed it instead: 10,708 sub-swaps over 10 hours and 53 minutes, each one paying the minimum slip. Between sub-swaps, arbitrageurs refilled the pool. It never held more than $251K of USDT, and its price held at $1.00 from the first sub-swap to the last. THORChain's fee on the whole trade: 0.25%. Trust Wallet's interface fee: 0.70%. A deeper pool would have made it faster. It wouldn't have made it cheaper. thorchain.net/tx/15922D8D34E…

A short story about a deposit, a closed door, and a way out. ⚡

Just finished an 8-minute phone call with the UK Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). Even the FOS representative acknowledged how unreasonable Revolut’s handling of my case has been and assured me they would follow up on my complaint immediately. 64 DAYS. My money is still inaccessible. How much longer does @Revolut expect me to suffer? I want my money back. Enough is enough. @financialombuds #Revolut #FinancialOmbudsman

Another day, another call with @Revolut Support. Today, I spoke with their team again regarding my long-standing unresolved case. I was told that my case has been escalated, given the “highest priority,” and is being actively monitored. Yet, despite all these assurances, there is still no concrete resolution or timeline. I appreciate the support team’s efforts, but words and promises are not enough anymore. How much longer am I supposed to wait, @Revolut ？

Seriously, @Revolut? After submitting my CIFAS appeal and waiting for a response, your team has now informed me that my case falls outside the scope of CIFAS review and redirected me to your formal complaints department. Why wasn’t this clarified earlier? I’m simply asking for transparency, accountability, and a clear resolution. Being passed between departments without meaningful answers is incredibly frustrating. @Revolut @RevolutSupport #Revolut #CIFAS

One of the biggest $ZEC swaps on THORChain so far: 0.365 $BTC for 24.7 $ZEC, about $29.6K. The $ZEC pool held 22.9 $ZEC when the swap started. The swapper received more than the pool held. THORChain streamed it: 1,300 sub-swaps over 1h58, with arbitrageurs refilling the pool between them. The pool never dropped below 22.2 $ZEC. THORChain's fee came to about 0.22%, and the app the swapper used added 1.25%. About 15% of the deposit came back. The swapper had set a price limit, and midway through $ZEC got 5% more expensive in the pool. Streaming checks that limit on every sub-swap. 197 of them would have delivered less $ZEC than the limit allowed, so THORChain skipped them and refunded 0.065 $BTC instead of filling at a worse price. Once the price came back, the rest of the swap went through. $ZEC is still in a progressive rollout. The pool is kept small while the integration is tested on mainnet, and liquidity deepens once that goes well. With streaming, a thin pool means a longer wait, not a worse price. thorchain.net/tx/9AD0223E5CE…

Lula wins Brazil. A political lesson for the right: you don’t win elections by threatening to reduce welfare because the masses will always vote for free money. It’s also a lesson for those who think that common sense will return to economic and monetary policy and the status quo will survive. It won’t. Central bank independence is a myth: politics drives all!

Limit Swaps are back. Set your price, go touch grass. ⚡

THORChain's numbers don't lie... @THORChain, since launching over five years ago, has established itself as THE leading venue for cross-chain swaps. That dominance is reflected in its cumulative DEX volume which, according to @DefiLlama, now stands at an eye-watering $128.4 BILLION. But momentum hasn't slowed either, with nearly $1.9 billion worth of volume generated in the past 30 days alone. As its new support for @Zcash $ZEC takes off, we could see these numbers increase significantly. Access now: bscnhive.com/thorchain-now

Burnham is playing with fire over his desire to rejoin the EU. Labour’s supporters outside the metropolis are against it so it’s a vote loser. Furthermore the EU is politically and economically bust so why join?
