- If you had 1 $BTC and wanted to trade it for $ETH, how would you do it?
Most people would use a CEX like Binance or Coinbase to make this swap.
That’s just… Embarrassing. 🤮
It’s been 15 years since Bitcoin’s inception and we still don’t have a standard alternative of swapping between tokens that live on different blockchains, fully onchain.
The standard is still using centralized entities which **not only** require KYC (that generally takes hours/day to complete), but also makes you give up custody of your assets.
Not to mention the billions of dollars that the exchanges (FTX, Mt.Gox, Poloniex, etc…) have lost on behalf of their customers over the years.
Here at Web3 Academy, we’re all about bringing more people onchain, so today we’ll talk about perhaps one of the most important protocols in crypto: **ThorChain.**
