Since the Chads are speaking up, it is only fitting that we give them center stage. Welcome to the THORChain Community Spotlight, a dedicated space where distinct voices from our network can step up and share their personal journeys. For this latest installment, we are incredibly excited to sit down and chat with @Codiar6.
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.
Join us for Podcast #243, where we deliver a comprehensive update on the latest developments with THORChain. In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by @CBarraford, @patriotsounds, and @KentonC137 for an engaging and informative conversation.

It is highly likely that you have already utilized THORChain without even realizing it. Each and every day, a wide variety of digital wallets, aggregators, and applications route their activity directly through its network.
For those who like to keep up with development activities, http://devops.thorchain.org is a webpage you should definitely bookmark. The developers at THORChain have introduced this public dashboard to establish clearer communication and promote greater transparency.
The platform keeps track of all public tasks and features the upcoming release pinned prominently at the top of the page. By pulling live data directly from GitLab, the dashboard displays the CI status and the necessary approvals for all merge requests. In addition, the system posts the test results for every stagenet release candidate, making sure to openly include any failures. If a task gets delayed, the site identifies exactly what is blocked and provides the specific reasons behind the hold up.
You will also find essential information for node operators, including the exact daemon updates they are required to execute. The dashboard actively monitors the number of nodes that have successfully migrated to each new version. Finally, the page provides a detailed look at the Router V6 rollout on a chain by chain basis, alongside the complete checklist for the XMR launch.
