THORChain has announced that XRP integration is almost ready, exciting many in the crypto community. According to an update shared on X (formerly Twitter), XRP scanning is expected to go live next week once network churning resumes.
The THORChain team confirmed that vault creation and pool bootstrapping will likely follow in the next churn. This means XRP trading and liquidity will soon be fully functional on the platform.
In a technical update, THORChain revealed that the XRP daemon is now enabled by default in the node launcher. Developers are advised to “pull” and “make install” to activate it.
While initial resource requirements are high—based on early sync tests by Strangelove—the Nine Realms team observed much lower usage during testing. They suggest that the load stabilizes after about six hours of runtime.
For the past six weeks, the daemon has performed well on stagenet, showing stable and predictable behavior under low load. This has boosted the team’s confidence in a smooth mainnet rollout.
After XRP scanning is up in Bifrost, the next churn will allow for the setup of vaults and pools. THORChain is making a big move by supporting more types of assets outside the EVM ecosystem.
Soon, users will be able to swap XRP between different blockchains without using wrapped tokens or centralized exchanges. As a result, more people who hold XRP might be interested in using THORChain’s decentralized liquidity protocol.
Keep an eye out as THORChain is about to complete the final steps for XRP integration.
