Token Strength.

Token Utility:

* Fee mechanisms for swaps
* PoS-Token
* Deposit and boding token

Demand Driver:

* swaps incur a fee in RUNE
*  Liquidity provider need to pair their token liquidity with RUNE at a 1:1 ratio
* Node operators need to bond RUNE based on 2x the total LP pool amount
* This leads to a 3xRUNE demand per $TVL

Value Creation:

Provide the infrastructure for completely decentralised cross chain swaps of crypto assets. Wallet to wallet without leaving your custody.

Value Capture:

* Every $1 in liquidity assets is backed by $3 in RUNE deposits
* The more swaps take place, the more rewards are paid to LP and Node operators
* Higher rewards attract more LPs, leading to a greater lockup in RUNE. Of course, the reverse is also pos

Business Model:

As a decentralised, layer 1 protocol Thorchain does not itself collect any revenue. A portion of RUNE token was allocated to the protocol at TGE but the project itself doesn't have any new inflows.
