what's Nine Realms?
Nine Realms is a development firm specializing in decentralized finance infrastructure, with a primary focus on supporting the THORChain protocol. They provide secure node operations, core protocol development, engineering, and institutional liquidity to facilitate native cross-chain swaps between assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and others without wrapping or bridging. Their principles emphasize transparency, accountability, and community alignment. Nine Realms contributes to chain integrations (e.g., TRON, XRP Ledger, Solana), feature development for efficiency, and ecosystem reports, enabling permissionless, censorship-resistant asset mobility across blockchains.
Nine Realms transitions from THORChain, taking over dev/maintenance with shared infrastructure.
