TREE NEWS update: THORChain has launched a ZEC liquidity pool after completing a node rotation, with all nodes now monitoring the Zcash chain. The protocol said trading will be enabled in the next step, warning that liquidity is currently thin and early trades face slippage risk. THORChain had previously added native Zcash support in a protocol upgrade, including UTXO handling, RPC logic and a ZEC price oracle.
THORChain Launches ZEC Liquidity Pool, Native Zcash Trading Next
The pool launch matters less than the sequencing: nodes are already watching the Zcash chain, so the gating factor is liquidity depth, not connectivity. Thin depth at launch is the familiar pattern for THORChain listings, and the protocol's own slippage warning signals it expects early flow to be small. The open question is whether ZEC liquidity deepens organically or depends on incentives, and how the UTXO and oracle plumbing holds up once trading is actually enabled.
