How to stake RUNE? (Add LP Liquidity/ bond RUNE as a Node Operator)
Previously you could stake RUNE with a Binance Chain Wallet via runevault.org. This feature is no longer available but instead users can now add liquidity symmetrically with RUNE and an asset pair in Liquidity pools on THORSwap. In this case, rewards are automatically compounded.
RUNE holders can also bond RUNE as a node operator for a different reward rate.
We have created a tutorial to guide users through the process of Swapping and Adding Liquidity to THORSwap.
How much can I earn adding Liquidity to THORSwap or Bonding RUNE?
There is an incentive pendulum that adjusts incentives for Bonding and Liquidity rewards aimed at an optimal state of 50%-50% of capital bonded vs capital deposited in LPs.
The current incentive for depositing RUNE in THORSwap Liquidity pools is around 290.85 %.
The Bonding APY is around 18.44 %.
Take a look at the Thorchain Staking Calculator to estimate your rewards if more or less tokens participate than under current conditions.
Is there any risk to adding liquidity in THORSwap or bonding RUNE as a node operator?
Yes, there is a risk of in-permanent loss when providing liquidity to Liquidity Pools. This same risk exists in THORSwap as it does in UniSwap for example.
In mainnet, Nodes put their Rune at-risk to underwrite capital, and liquidity providers are exposed to underlying price movements of assets, so may end up with more or less RUNE depending on price changes.

What is Thorchain?
THORChain is a decentralised cross-chain liquidity network, allowing assets to be pooled such that they can be swapped between chains.
Who is the team behind Thorchain?
THORChain’s team has chosen to remain psuedo-anonymous to accelerate decentralisation and prevent social-signalling and capture.
What is the initial token distribution?
130m RUNE was sold in seed, private and public sales between 1 and 3c. A futher 60m was emitted to RUNEVault stakers over the course of 14 months. 65m is reserved for operational reserves and further OTC sales to improve the treasury. 50m is allocated to the team. 220m is allocated for future block rewards to nodes and liquidity providers.
What is the thorchain moon scenario?
Due to the nature of how Thorchain works, Thorchains price can be deterministically priced by the non-rune TVL on the platform. This is because if the protocol is functioning properly then the value of RUNE on the platform must be at least 3 times the non-rune TVL locked on the platform. Hence we can say that the market cap of RUNE must be at least 3 times the non-RUNE TVL locked on the platform and so we can price the token as (3*non-RUNE TVL)/circulating supply of RUNE.
