How to use THORChain with Ledger

What is THORChain?

THORCHain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that lets users quickly swap assets across the different blockchain ecosystems. It is a non-custodial platform that uses an automated market maker (AMM) mechanism similar to the early versions of Bancor (BNT) or Uniswap, with THORChain's native token (RUNE) serving as the basic swap pair. Traders can swap between different asset pools using RUNE as a hidden middleman at fair market prices and deep liquidity. The protocol also pays a percentage of trading costs to liquidity providers (LPs), who deposit or stake assets on either side of a liquidity pool.

THORChain's native coin is RUNE. It has a 500 million supply and four critical use cases:
- Security – Node operators must bond twice as much RUNE as the quantity they provide to a pool to assure safety. The RUNE bonds serve as collateral to guarantee that node operators act in the network's best interests.
- Governance – RUNE token holders can prioritize the asset or chain they want to support. They accomplish this by voting with RUNE.
- Incentives – Block rewards and swap fees are paid on a defined emission schedule to liquidity providers and node operators in the form of RUNE. Additionally, users can also pay gas fees with RUNE.
- Rewards – Every user that adds tokens to a liquidity pool receives a reward in the form of RUNE. Token holders can also stake their assets and profit from the fees collected from other pool participants.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you first buy coin, you’re issued with two keys: public and private.

  • A public key serves as an address that can be shared with other parties to perform transactions.
  • A private key represents a randomly generated number that signs transactions and protects your assets from malicious attacks. If it gets compromised or lost, you won’t be able to access your wallet to spend, withdraw, or transfer your cryptos.

To safeguard and keep track of your keys, you can use online or offline wallets. Online wallets, also known as hot wallets, store private keys on systems or devices that are connected to the internet. Hot wallets are easy and convenient to use, however, they come with several drawbacks. Besides being susceptible to attacks and a honeypot for hackers, with hot wallets, the custody of private keys is often entrusted to a third party such as a crypto exchange, which means you never have full control over your funds. The safer choice are specialized hardware wallets that store private keys offline. Stealing private keys from a hardware wallet would require physical access to the wallet and corresponding PIN or the recovery phrase. What’s more, with hardware wallet, you don’t need to rely on third party custodians.

Ledger Nano is the industry-leading hardware wallet. With more than five million customers, Ledger Nano wallets have several layers of security that protect private keys, and hence your assets:

  • Your private keys are stored on secure element chips.
  • A PIN code and a 24-word recovery phrase are required to access the wallet.
  • Ledger Nano cryptocurrency wallets have been built using highly durable materials for protection against physical damage.

With full isolation between private keys and your computer/mobile, Ledger Nano wallets keep your keys secure and give you complete control over your coins.
