Thorchain is a decentralized protocol that can provide liquidity to different platforms. It is decentralized because it runs on the blockchain. The protocol can provide liquidity to different blockchain networks without users losing control of the cryptocurrencies they hold. This makes Thorchain unique because blockchain networks normally cannot cooperate with each other.
MoreBasically, blockchains cannot cooperate with each other because they use different technologies. This is also the cause of the problem that you would not be able to send Bitcoin on Ethereum's blockchain. Thorchain has found a solution that makes this possible. Specifically, Thorchain is an Automated Market Maker (AMM). This is a protocol that allows tokens to be exchanged against each other without using supply and demand between users. Such a thing is called an order book and occurs on a centralized crypto exchange.
