User swapped $30M and got MORE than expected⚡️ User initiated: 323 BTC → ETH swap ($30M+) THORChain pools had approximately: ~2,500 ETH Not nearly enough liquidity for a single massive swap. The Solution: Streaming Swaps + Arbitrage Instead of one trade that would destroy the price, the swap was broken into 3,608 smaller swaps executed every 2 THORChain blocks over 13 hours. Why every 2 blocks instead of every block? @SwapKitPowered (the integration toolkit that @TrustWallet uses to connect to THORChain) chose this interval to give arbitrage bots enough time to: 1. Spot the price difference on THORChain 2. Buy cheaper assets elsewhere 3. Add liquidity to THORChain pools 4. Profit from the price gap The protocol incentivizes arb bots to become the liquidity exactly when it's needed. Quote (including all fees): 9,192.55 ETH Actually received: 9,240.64 ETH User got 48 MORE ETH than quoted. During the 13 hour swap, ETH/BTC price dropped 1.93% on external markets. The streaming execution captured this price movement in the user's favor. Most DEXs and bridges fail at scale because they're limited to whatever liquidity sits in their pools. THORChain's design makes arbitrage profitable, so bots automatically provide liquidity exactly when needed. The bigger the swap, the more profitable the arb, the faster pools get rebalanced.
