THORChain Seeks Redemption After Vault Exploit
THORChain's recovery from the May 2026 vault exploit is crucial for its future growth. The protocol has been prioritizing security, network recovery, and user confidence restoration. To strengthen its network, THORChain rolled out the v3.19.0 upgrade with Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) security patches to prevent future attacks.
The rollout of the THORSwap V3 interface, which features wallet abstraction, portfolio tracking, and fiat on/off ramps, may improve user onboarding and increase swap activity. If trading volume returns to pre-exploit levels and RUNE's fee-driven burn mechanism accelerates, the token could move towards the $1.98-$2.18 range before the end of 2026.
According to predictions, THORChain's price may reach a high of $2.18 in 2026, with a potential surge pushing it to $35.33 by 2030. The RUNE token has seen significant price ups and downs since THORChain moved to its own blockchain in June 2022.
