What it actually costs to sell RUNE
Selling $100,000 of RUNE into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken RUNE/USD | 1.08% | $98,918 | 2026-11-04 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps RUNE on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What THORChain is
THORChain is a decentralized exchange built to swap Bitcoin and other native assets across chains without using bridges or wrapped tokens. The source does not state who built it or when it launched. It describes the protocol as permissionless, with no KYC requirement.
The exchange currently supports swapping across 13 blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Ledger, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, TRON, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Avalanche, Cosmos, Base, and THORChain's own chain. Assets move between these networks directly rather than through a wrapped or pegged representation. The source states that additional blockchains will be added over time, without specifying which or when.
This passage does not explain the mechanics behind the cross-chain swaps — no detail on validators, liquidity pools, or how settlement across 13 separate chains is secured or finalized. It does not disclose fees, swap limits, or how network congestion or validator behavior affects a given trade; any figures about swap cost or available liquidity live elsewhere on this page, not here, and are time-stamped measurements rather than fixed properties of the protocol. CoinGecko's classification tags RUNE under several categories at once — DEX, Layer 1, bridge governance, DeFi — which signals that the token serves multiple roles (network gas, bonding collateral, governance) rather than a single clearly defined function. Nothing in the source confirms audit status, a maximum token supply, or a release schedule for any unissued tokens. Permissionless and no-KYC also means no recourse mechanism is described: the protocol does not claim to vet counterparties or reverse transactions.

Our own measurement · measured 4 November 2026
RUNE earns from the fees the network collects, not from new tokens, in two ways: bonded to a node, or paired with another asset in a liquidity pool. A node that tries to steal has 1.5 times the amount taken out of its bond.
Sources: THORChain docs: tokenomics, THORChain docs: RUNE · checked 2 October 2026
RUNE has a maximum supply of about 360 million, all of it already released. 1% of the fees the network collects is burned, so the amount falls over time.

About the asset
THORChain has no token contract — it is the native asset of its own chain, not a token issued on someone else's.
