Swap n' Slippage
Feb 1, 2022 - When cryptocurrency traders place a buy or sell order on an exchange, they typically expect said order to be filled at the exact price they’ve chosen. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, due to a costly problem called slippage. Slippage happens when traders have to settle for a different price than what they initially requested due to a movement in price between the time the order (say for Bitcoin) enters the market and the execution of a trade. This phenomenon can occur in all markets, like forex and stocks. However, it is more frequent, and a lot worse, in crypto markets (especially on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap) due to the high levels of price volatility. In addition, common pain points that the vast majority of altcoins suffer from such as low volume and liquidity may also contribute to slippage. In this article, we will get acquainted with the Slippage changes in Thorchain and we will see the factors that affect it.

xSushi Total Supply
Jan 24, 2022 - What is xSUSHI? xSUSHI is a token, similar to other SLP tokens, that you receive in exchange for staking SUSHI tokens in the SushiBar on sushiswap platform. While holding the token, it will appreciate in value, as fees from sushiswap exchange platform are "served to the SushiBar." The xSUSHI token is always worth more than a regular SUSHI token, because xSUSHI accrues value from platform fees. When users make trades on the SushiSwap exchange a 0.3% fee is charged. 0.05% of this fee is added to the SushiBar pool in the form of LP tokens. When the rewards contract is called (minimum once per day) all the LP tokens are sold for Sushi (on SushiSwap Exchange). The newly purchased Sushi is then divided up proportionally between all of the xSUSHI holders in the pool, meaning their xSUSHI is now worth more SUSHI. Because of the way the rewards are generated, the price of xSUSHI will increase with the value of SUSHI, and the value of one xSUSHI will always be greater than the value of one SUSHI.

Claimed ENS Token Distribution
Dec 18, 2021 - The $ENS token is an important step in further decentralizing the governance of the ENS protocol.

Here’s what’s included in the formula: 1.Age of .ETH address 2.Expiry dates (longer registrations get more $ENS) 3.Owners who have set their Primary ENS, formerly called the Reverse Record, get a 2x multiplier What’s the average amount of ENS claimed from the airdrop?

$RUNE Price vs Swapping Volume
Jan 23, 2022 - Governance tokens have many uses, in the Thorchain network the rune token plays the role of a governing token. RUNE is used as a liquidity pool pair for all native tokens from foreign blockchain networks linked to the THORChain network. Therefore, liquidity providers don’t have to submit liquidity pairs as is the case with most DEXs. RUNE is also used to secure the THORChain network as THORChains is secured by a variation of Proof of Stake called Proof of Bond. The PoB consensus protocol requires nodes to commit a RUNE bond of 1 million RUNE tokens to validate transactions in the network as well as participate in other activities in the ecosystem. If the nodes become malicious to the network, their bond is deducted proportionally to the amount of damage they cause. This incentives good behavior across the network. Transaction fees on THORChain are paid in RUNE including trading fees for all swaps. RUNE also serves as the network’s governance token as each RUNE token equates to a vote.

Sankey Swap Diagrams
Dec 13, 2021 - Sankey diagrams: Sankey diagrams are a type of flow diagram in which the width of the arrows is proportional to the flow rate. The illustration shows a Sankey diagram that represents all the primary energy that flows into a factory. The widths of the bands are linearly proportional to energy production, utilization and loss. The primary energy inputs enter the left side of the diagram, and are differentiated into gas, electricity and coal/oil. Sankey diagrams can also visualize the energy accounts, material flow accounts on a regional or national level, and cost breakdowns.[1]The diagrams are often used in the visualization of material flow analysis. Sankey diagrams emphasize the major transfers or flows within a system. They help locate the most important contributions to a flow. They often show conserved quantities within defined system boundaries.
