The THORChain app layer goes live on May 22nd. In my opinion, this represents a 0 to 1 moment for the THORChain ecosystem. Up until now, the vast majority of economic value on THORChain has come from cross-chain swapping.
I invested in ETH way back in the early days - post-ICO - and I remember when smart contracts and tokens became a thing. When token contracts started launching, teams and devs came out of the woodwork to build tokens and projects on Ethereum.
I believe were on the verge of this happening in the THORChain ecosystem. Smart Contracts are about to be released on TC for the first time ever. This represents an entirely new economy that will be built with THORChain as the base layer.
The THORChain ecosystem is about to explode with activity. New developers, new tokens, new projects. Use cases that we've never dreamed of.
In this clip from the LEO AMA, I talk about why I believe this is a moment we will all look back on when it comes to the RUNE token and the THORChain ecosystem. This is a step function change in the TC economy and the amount of developer activity is already starting to increase. I believe one or perhaps a few major apps on the app layer will explode shortly after May 22nd and bring an influx of capital, users and builders to THORChain.
I am positioned in RUNE & TCY accordingly and doing my part to build https://leodex.io into a contributor to the ecosystem's growth.
