What is THORChain?
THORChain is a decentralised liquidity protocol that launched in 2021 to let people swap native cryptocurrencies across different blockchains without wrapped or pegged tokens. It is built with the Cosmos SDK and runs as its own independent blockchain, with RUNE acting as the base currency for every liquidity pool on the network.
The protocol uses a Continuous Liquidity Pool model in which RUNE is paired with each supported asset, forming a hub-and-spoke layout for cross-chain swaps. That design means someone can trade assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash directly, without a centralised exchange or a custodian holding the coins in between.
Because RUNE sits at the centre of every pair, its role grows as more blockchains connect to the network. People who supply assets to the pools act as liquidity providers and earn a share of the fees from swap activity. THORChain settles under Tendermint consensus, the same proven engine used across the Cosmos ecosystem.

Where to buy THORChain in Australia

After a free sign-up and a one-time ID check, you move AUD in by PayID, which usually clears within a minute, or by bank transfer. RUNE is then yours to buy at the live Australian-dollar price, with low fees laid out before you confirm and Australian support on call. Whatever you buy stays in your Digital Surge wallet until you choose to sell.
FAQ
Buying THORChain: FAQs
What is the smallest amount of THORChain I can buy?
Starting small is fine. The minimum order on Digital Surge is low, so a whole RUNE or a big AUD outlay is not needed to begin. Put in as little as you want and build the holding over time.
How soon can I buy THORChain after signing up?
Usually only minutes. As soon as your identity check passes, a PayID deposit of AUD generally lands in under a minute, and you can buy RUNE straight after at the price shown on the page. A bank transfer takes a little longer to clear.
Can I sell my THORChain back to AUD later?
Yes. Any time you want to cash out, sell your RUNE for Australian dollars on Digital Surge and send the money to your linked bank account. There is no lock-in, so how long you hold is up to you.
How does THORChain swap coins without wrapped tokens?
THORChain pairs RUNE with every supported asset in continuous liquidity pools, forming a hub that connects different blockchains. That lets native coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum trade directly, so there is no need for the wrapped or pegged tokens many other platforms rely on.
Which cryptocurrencies can THORChain swap?
THORChain supports several major coins, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. The protocol keeps adding support for more blockchains and their native assets through community governance, so the list of tradable pairs continues to grow over time.
