THORSwap Finance is a multi‑chain decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator and native cross‑chain swap interface built on top of THORChain. It allows users to trade more than 8,000 crypto assets across 17‑18+ blockchains in a non‑custodial manner, swapping native assets (not wrapped tokens), earning yield, staking its native $THOR token, and leveraging liquidity from THORChain & associated protocols. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
It started as BEPSwap in 2020 and later evolved into THORSwap with the full THORChain multi‑chain chaosnet (MCCN). THORSwap is powered by the SwapKit API/SDK, which supports both user‑facing swap functionality and developer integrations. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Although THORSwap offers many powerful features, users may encounter issues. Below are frequent problem types and suggested fixes.
- Confirm you are connecting with a supported wallet. Some wallets may not support all chains or native assets. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
- Check if your wallet is unlocked and has the correct configuration (chain/network settings).
- Clear your browser cache, disable conflicting browser extensions (privacy / ad‑block / blocker etc.). Try a different browser or device.
- Verify you are visiting the correct URL/domain (phishing risks are noted in community reports). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
- Errors such as “core_transaction_deposit_error” are sometimes posted in Reddit threads when trying cross‑chain swaps. These may stem from mis configured RPC, node connectivity issues, or chain node downtime. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
- Make sure your transaction settings (e.g. amount, destination chain) are valid and supported by THORChain.
- Update your wallet software / firmware if applicable.
- If using the aggregated route, ensure the aggregators and liquidity paths are available and not paused.
- Slippage too low or unexpected price movement. Increase slippage tolerance carefully.
- Liquidity pool may not have enough liquidity for large trades or for certain asset pairs. Try splitting transaction.
- Native asset swaps rely on THORChain’s liquidity for RUNE pairs; issues with RUNE pools can cascade.
- Fee estimation / routing errors from aggregator paths can lead to reverts.
- Use blockchain explorer for destination chain + TX hash to confirm status.
- Make sure the target address is correct (wallet address, correct chain).
- If output is a native asset, ensure your wallet supports receiving it.
- Some operations may require “settlement” or claiming steps; check the UI for pending/claimable statuses.
- THORSwap is non‑custodial and does not require centralized login / password + 2FA in the core protocol. The wallet signature is the authentication.
- If using third‑party tools or overlays that ask for extra verification, follow their support / recovery procedures.
- Keep your seed phrase / private keys backed up.
- Users have reported dashboards showing infinite (“∞”) values for LP balances or LP dashboard misreports. This can happen when there is a pause in earning, or the “Thoryield” or “earnings” features are paused or deprecated. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
- Double check with on‑chain data or RUNE chain explorers.
- Stay updated via THORSwap docs or announcements about any paused features (for example, lending / earn vaults have been paused or deprecated in certain cases). :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
THORSwap Finance is a powerful, non‑custodial, cross‑chain DEX aggregator interface that truly allows swapping of native assets (not wrapped tokens) across many major blockchains. Its strengths are in deep liquidity, non‑custodial security, wide blockchain support, and governance via its native $THOR token. That said, the complexity of cross‑chain mechanics brings real risks and challenges—wallet compatibility, chain support, liquidity, UI glitches, possible paused features, and state of routing through aggregators. Carefully verifying transaction details, using correct URLs and wallets, monitoring official updates, and starting with small amounts can help avoid most issues. THORSwap remains a strong option for users needing native cross‑chain swaps with minimal trust assumptions.
