The evolution of THORChain relies on a consistent and accessible process that always begins with an ADR. Whether you want to suggest the integration of a new chain, a fee modification, or a brand new feature, absolutely anyone can draft an ADR and share it in the THORChain Discord. In fact, the initiative for Protocol-owned liquidity originally came from exactly this kind of community proposal.
After an idea is submitted, it enters a phase of fully transparent public discussion. Developers, node operators, and everyday users collaboratively scrutinize the submission, asking essential questions, offering pushback, and tweaking the finer details until the plan is solid.
Following this open debate, the decision goes to a network ballot where every single node possesses exactly one vote. Implementing any modification demands the affirmative agreement of 2/3 of the active nodes. Currently, the network consists of 111 nodes overseen by approximately 56 independent operators, which means 74 nodes must give their consent for a proposal to successfully pass.
Being entirely open to public participation and relying on collective network consensus is the core philosophy that originally launched Bitcoin. Today, THORChain remains proudly dedicated to advancing and building upon this exact same foundation.
