THORChain Yield Price(TCY)

THORChain Yield, represented by the token TCY, is a native asset within the THORChain ecosystem designed as a revenue sharing mechanism. It was introduced following a strategic restructuring of the protocol to address liabilities arising from its previous lending and savers features. The token functions as a way for participants to hold a stake in the network's ongoing economic activity. The primary utility of TCY is to provide holders with a share of the protocol revenue. Unlike many other yield bearing assets that rely on token inflation or minting new supply, the rewards for TCY are derived from real transaction fees generated by users performing cross chain swaps on the network. These rewards are distributed in RUNE, which is the native utility token of the THORChain blockchain. To qualify for these payouts, holders must actively stake their tokens within the protocol. A unique aspect of the project is its automated buyback and accumulation model. Yield that is generated by unclaimed or unstaked tokens is not lost but is instead redirected by the protocol to purchase more TCY from the open market. This creates a continuous compounding effect where the protocol itself gradually accumulates its own supply. Furthermore, there are no lockup periods or cooling off phases for staking or unstaking, allowing for flexibility in how users manage their positions. From a structural standpoint, TCY is an economic token and does not grant any governance or voting rights over the direction of the THORChain network. Its sole purpose is to act as a yield generating asset. For users who want to use their positions in other decentralized finance applications, the project includes features for compounding and the eventual creation of liquid staked versions of the token. The distribution of TCY was initially centered on a claim process for users who were affected by the halting of earlier protocol features. These users were able to convert their outstanding claims into TCY, aligning their long term interests with the continued growth and fee generation of the network. By moving toward a model based on real protocol income, the project aims to provide a sustainable path for recovery and value capture within the broader cross chain ecosystem. Learn more
