Shift into THORChain

Say goodbye to having to do multiple complex transactions, going to multiple interfaces, and hello to Shifts with ShapeShift.

Get Started

What is THORChain

THORChain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that facilitates native cross-chain swaps between assets like BTC, ETH, AVAX, LTC, and more—no wrapping, bridging, or centralized custody. It uses a Tendermint-based consensus and its native RUNE token to bond liquidity and secure the network. Liquidity providers earn yield from swap fees, while traders benefit from fast, decentralized trades with minimal slippage. THORChain has become a foundational layer for cross-chain DeFi, bridging liquidity across Layer 1 ecosystems.

BTC ⇄ ETH, Natively

Swap native Bitcoin for Ethereum, AVAX, or LTC without leaving ShapeShift. THORChain routes your trade across real chains with full transparency, no wrapping required.

RUNE-Powered Liquidity

Behind every THORChain trade is a decentralized network bonded by RUNE and fueled by protocol-level incentives. ShapeShift taps into that to give you the best cross-chain rates—without giving up your keys.
