Initial pairs:

BEPSwap Frontend Down for Maintenance

Due to a churn issue that is being addressed, the frontend is down for maintenance to prevent the outbound queue getting too large.

Once nodes have updated (expected sometime today), the frontend will be put live again.

Reminder:

When the multichain is live, the BNB.RUNE <> ETH.RUNE bridge will be terminated. The supplies on either side will be locked in.

If you want to hold ETH.RUNE over BNB.RUNE, the time to switch is now:

https://runebridge.org/

SUSHISWAP INCENTIVES

Sushiswap incentives for the week: Up to 75k ($200k) RUNE split evenly over the following pools:

$SNX
$YFI
$AAVE

Provide liquidity now to receive the yield:

THORChain Update

All nodes have updated to V18 and the network is recovering. The frontend will be up as soon as the outbound queue is cleared.

Thanks for patience

PLEASE BE PATIENT

The network is fielding a lot of requests right now, please be patient. You can monitor the queue here. If the queue is large, come back later.
