Today I am excited to have an in depth conversation with Chad Barraford who is part of the core team, and the technical lead for Thorchain.
Thorchain has been in development for almost 4 years and I have been following their progress for over 2 years. It is one of the few projects in crypto which has built something that is unique and that no other project has managed to replicate. Thorchain is a decentralised cross chain immutable DEX that lets us swap native assets between chains in a permission-less trust-less way without any intermediaries. Basically it lets you swap BTC from the Bitcoin network, directly for ETH on the Ethereum network without the need for a bridge or a wrapped asset. It truly is critical infrastructure in the space and it also happens to work.
Chad has been working on the project from the start and has unique insights into how Thorchain operates, what makes it special, as well as what is in store for the future. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as i did.
