THORChain Launches Zcash Liquidity Pool with Cautionary Note

THORChain has launched its Zcash (ZEC) liquidity pool after completing a network churn across active nodes. The protocol warned that liquidity remains shallow and urged traders to use caution during early trading.

The launch marks the next step in THORChain's integration of Zcash, which was announced earlier this month. Every node on the network is now monitoring the Zcash chain, with native ZEC trading set to follow.

THORChain added Zcash UTXO handling, RPC logic and ZEC oracle support through 2026 protocol upgrades. This move will enable users to trade ZEC directly within the THORChain platform without the need for wrapped versions of the asset.
