THORChain launched its Native API, a proprietary interface that allows wallets, decentralized exchanges and aggregators to connect directly to the protocol’s infrastructure to execute cross-chain swaps without relying on external providers such as Xchain.js or SwapKit.
Until now, development teams had two paths: integrating directly with THORChain’s technical stack, which meant managing their own maintenance and infrastructure, or using third-party SDKs and APIs, simpler but with additional fees and provider dependency. The Native API introduces a third option that eliminates that commission layer without modifying the protocol’s operation.
Swaps continue to execute in the same pools and are validated by the same set of nodes. What changes is the access channel: with the Native API, the provider fee disappears, as its use is free of charge. This gives integrators greater margin or the ability to offer more competitive prices to their end users.
The API supports asset queries, quote requests, swap execution and transaction tracking, all from a single interface maintained by the protocol itself. It also contemplates advanced flows such as memoless swaps, which simplify the user experience by eliminating the need to manually include memos. It can be accessed via an API key, and documentation is available in THORChain’s official repository on GitLab.
