A Brief on What Thorchain is all about
ThorChain is a decentralized liquidity network with an interoperable blockchain that enables non-custodial cross-chain token swaps. It doesn’t peg or wrap assets; instead, it lets users trade tokens between Layer 1 blockchains.
So, unlike CEXs, traders on ThorChain can transfer effortlessly from Bitcoin to Ethereum, Polkadot, and other cryptocurrencies without having to register for an exchange or go through KYC. As a result, consumers are only exposed to limited custody and counterparty risks.
ThorChain has a proof-of-stake consensus system based on Tendermint (Cosmos), with network validators (nodes) required to bond their native coin, RUNE. RUNE uses a token concept that increases in value as the network’s usage increases. This means that when more liquidity is placed into the ThorChain liquidity pools, RUNE becomes more valuable.
Thorguard Allocation Booster Program
One of the main goals at ThorGuards is to increase THORChain and the THORChain ecosystem’s awareness and adoption. With respect to this, THORGuard announced its allocation distribution program on its official Twitter page.
.@ThorGuards introduces the ThorGuards Allocation Booster program.
Increase the max NFTs you can mint by holding ETH.RUNE or XRUNE.
A fantastic community initiative ⚒⚡️

Users can now increase the numbers of ThorGuards they can mint if they hold a certain level of RUNE or ETH.
What are ThorGuards?
ThorGuards is a blockchain-based collection of 9,999 NFT characters inspired by THORChain, Norse mythology, and cyberpunk aesthetics.
Each ThorGuard is a one-of-a-kind mix of hundreds of possible characteristics. The collection comprises rich and stunning 3D artwork and unique functionality and benefits across the THORChain ecosystem for each NFT bearer.
How does the ThorGuard Allocation Booster Program work?
- Hold 700 XRUNE (~$250) = +2 NFTs
- Hold 2000 XRUNE (~$700) = +4 NFTs
- Hold 17 ETH.RUNE (~$250) = +2 NFTs
- Hold 50 ETH.RUNE (~$700) = +4 NFTs
Because these allocation accelerators stack if you have 700 XRUNE and 50 ETH.RUNE, you will be able to mint a total of 11 NFTs (5 base, +2 NFTs for XRUNE, +4 NFTs for ETH.RUNE).
In an update on the 4th of November, users were told that raffle registration would be available to all wallets. All users needed was to enter the raffle with their preferred wallets.

Future of ThorGuards
In contrast to the many opportunistic cash grabs currently rife in the NFT market, the ThorGuards team and community are working hard to create a long-lasting franchise that will survive for the next ten years and beyond.
With that in mind, our November mint isn’t the end all – it’s only the beginning of a character series that will be driven by the community and built for years to come.
