Question 1

What is Rujira?

Accepted Answer

Rujira is the App Layer on THORChain, designed to build a fair and open financial system where anyone can access decentralized finance (DeFi) using native crypto assets. Rujira is open source, permissionless, and non custodial, so anyone can use it while keeping full control of their assets. Rujira brings together a full suite of financial tools that let you trade, lend, borrow, and earn yield using native assets from multiple blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. Everything happens directly from your own wallet in one unified interface. Because Rujira is built on THORChain, you can perform cross chain trading without relying on centralized exchanges, wrapped tokens, or third party bridges. This means you keep full control of your assets while accessing financial tools that normally only exist on centralized platforms. Quick definitions DeFi (Decentralized Finance): financial applications built on blockchain networks that allow people to trade, lend, borrow, and earn yield without banks or intermediaries. Cross chain trading: swapping or trading crypto assets between different blockchains, such as trading Bitcoin for Ethereum.

Question 2

What does Rujira stand for?

Accepted Answer

Rujira stands for fairness, transparency, and true decentralization, the same principles that originally defined Bitcoin. The goal is to build an open financial system where everyone has equal access to financial tools and remains in full control of their assets. Unlike traditional finance or centralized crypto platforms, Rujira operates as a community owned decentralized network, meaning there are no intermediaries, hidden rules, or gatekeepers controlling how the system works.

Question 3

What makes Rujira different from other DeFi platforms?

Accepted Answer

Most DeFi platforms operate on a single blockchain and rely on bridges or wrapped tokens to connect to other networks. Rujira removes that complexity by building directly on THORChain, which allows you to use native assets from multiple blockchains within one unified ecosystem. Instead of switching between different platforms and wallets, Rujira brings a full set of DeFi tools together in one place. You can trade, earn, borrow, and invest without learning multiple interfaces or moving funds between services. Quick definitions Native assets: cryptocurrencies that exist on their original blockchain, such as BTC on Bitcoin or ETH on Ethereum, instead of wrapped versions created on another chain.

Question 4

What is Rujira built on?

Accepted Answer

Rujira is built on THORChain with the Cosmos SDK. This setup allows Rujira to support native assets like BTC, ETH, and XRP without using wrapped tokens or external bridges. Because this infrastructure is integrated directly into the protocol, you can trade, lend, borrow, and earn across multiple blockchains within one connected ecosystem.

Question 5

What does Omnichain mean?

Accepted Answer

Omnichain describes a system that connects many blockchains and wallets at the same time. Instead of being limited to one blockchain, Rujira allows you to interact with multiple networks using native assets across chains through one unified platform. This makes decentralized finance easier to use because you can access assets from different blockchains without switching platforms or learning different tools.

Question 6

What products does Rujira have?

Accepted Answer

Rujira provides a growing suite of decentralized finance products that work together inside one ecosystem. The products currently available on Rujira include: RUJI Trade (orderbook DEX ) RUJI AMM (multi strategy automated market maker for the DEX) RUJI Money Market (lending and borrowing) RUJI Index (crypto index products) RUJI Swap (cross chain swaps) Many additional products are planned and can be found on the roadmap. Quick definitions DEX (Decentralized Exchange): a trading platform where users trade directly from their wallets without a central company controlling the funds.

Question 7

Is Rujira connected to other Cosmos chains through IBC?

Accepted Answer

No. Rujira does not currently use the IBC protocol . From the Cosmos ecosystem, Rujira is currently connected directly to Cosmos Hub through a custom chain integration via THORChain. This architecture allows Rujira to focus on connecting native assets across many different blockchains, including networks outside the Cosmos ecosystem. Quick definitions IBC (Inter Blockchain Communication): a protocol used within the Cosmos ecosystem that allows blockchains to communicate and transfer assets between each other.

Question 8

How does Rujira connect to non Cosmos chains like Bitcoin or Ethereum?

Accepted Answer

Rujira connects to external blockchains through THORChain, which secures native assets such as BTC and ETH in decentralized vaults. These vaults allow users to swap assets between blockchains without using third party bridges or wrapped tokens. Through a THORChain primitive called Secured Assets , Rujira can offer native assets from multiple chains across its entire product suite. Quick definitions Secured Assets: tokens backed 1:1 by native crypto stored in THORChain's decentralized vaults, allowing assets like BTC or ETH to be used across DeFi products.

Question 9

Is Rujira open source and audited?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rujira is fully open source, meaning anyone can review the code that powers the platform. You can view the code here: https://gitlab.com/thorchain/rujira Security audits and contract releases are available here: https://docs.rujira.network/resources/releases and contracts Open source development improves transparency and allows developers around the world to review and improve the system.

Question 10

Who is building Rujira?

Accepted Answer

Rujira is built by an alliance of teams including: THORChain Maya Rujira AutoRujira Liquidy Finance Redacted CALC Finance To explore the wider network of builders and products, visit the ecosystem page.

Question 11

How is Rujira secured?

Accepted Answer

Rujira inherits its security from THORChain, which operates through a decentralized network of more than 100 Node Operators . These Nodes continuously rotate the decentralized vaults that store assets, helping maintain the security of the network and preventing any single participant from controlling the system. Quick definitions Node operators: independent participants who run servers that help secure and operate a blockchain network.

Question 12

Where can I follow Rujira updates and announcements?

Accepted Answer

You can follow development updates, announcements, and community discussions through the official Rujira channels: Telegram Dev Discord X (Twitter) Medium
