On THORSwap #LUNAtics can:
- Swap native UST/ LUNA on a Cross-Chain Decentralised Exchange between native assets (BTC, ETH, BNB, DOGE, LTC, BCH) in one step. In fact, 25+ crypto assets across 7+ major blockchains will have a direct entry point to TERRA and vice versa. True Decentralized Access never before possible until now.
- Acquire UST and LUNA without needing CEXs, KYC, wrapped assets or bridge hopping. Truly permissionless, decentralised, and open to anyone around the world. You are your own custodian.
- Earn DeFi yields on UST/LUNA — enjoying great APY as well as features such as Impermanent Loss Protection.
THORChain & TERRA form the missing pieces of a Crypto Holy Trinity:
Decentralized Liquidity Protocol (THORChain) + Decentralized Stablecoin (UST) + Decentralized Store of Wealth (BTC)

- THORSynths (live)— THORChain Native Synthetic assets with instant settlement, low gas and no risk of Impermanent Loss provides great utility for traders and arbitrageurs.
- Lending — borrow USD from blue-chip LP positions with 0% interest, no liquidations, with as low as 100% collateralization ratio.
- THORSavings — an yield-bearing account with single asset exposure.

Advanced TERRA X THORChain DeFi Strategies:
- At the moment our BUSD pool has the most lucrative yields, with the introduction of TERRA, the attraction of a low gas fee chain and pairing RUNE with the most decentralised stablecoin is a no brainer for #RUNAtics to burn Luna to provide UST.RUNE LP.
- RUNE pools are balanced by arbitrage. If the UST and LUNA pool become significantly deep then it will not only help maintain the UST peg especially with cross-chain stablecoin swap.
- This will also add a 3rd dynamic arbitrage to bLUNA-LUNA and LUNA in general.

Earning Yield on $UST/ $LUNA
You can earn healthy yields on UST/ LUNA by depositing liquidity on THORChain. Yields are generated from the trading fees paid by traders and reward emissions.
How to earn UST/ LUNA yield on THORSwap
Step 1. Make sure you have already connected to THORSwap using TERRA Station, Key Store wallet or multi-chain supported wallets
(See Step 1 in “How to trade UST/ LUNA on THORSwap”).
Step 2. Visit https://app.thorswap.finance/add/TERRA.UST or https://app.thorswap.finance/add/TERRA.LUNA
Step 3. Select how you would like to deposit UST/ LUNA. You have 3 options to choose from:
- Deposit only UST/ LUNA (aka “asymmetrical UST/ LUNA deposit”)
- Deposit both UST/ LUNA and RUNE (aka “symmetrical UST/ LUNA & RUNE deposit”)
- Deposit only RUNE (aka “asymmetrical RUNE deposit”)
NOTE: deposit transaction fees for “symmetrical deposits” are typically lower than “asymmetrical deposits”.
Symmetrical deposits also requires $RUNE in your wallet to pay for the deposit transaction fee. Asymmetrical deposits will automatically take the deposit transaction fee from your $UST/ LUNA.
Step 4. Select the quantity you wish to deposit. If you are performing a “symmetrical deposit,” then you will need to select quantities for both UST/ LUNA and RUNE. Or you can simply drag the slider which will automatically calculate equal amounts of UST/ LUNA and RUNE:
Step 5. Add Liquidity!
You are now earning UST/ LUNA Yields on your deposits!
