Build Ideas
At Rujira, we’re constantly exploring new ways to extend the ecosystem.
This page lists open development ideas: things the community or independent builders can create around our core products.
Each idea is tagged by category, with direct contacts for guidance.
If you decide to build one, please register your intent (see below) so we can support you and avoid duplicate work.
How It Works
Learn about THORChain's App Layer and how we do things differently at Rujira
Understand that we are looking to build a coherent ecosystem, where protocols are deeply integrated with one another and accessible from a unified UI.
Therefore, deploying new smart contracted is permissioned and curated by the core Rujira team.
Read THORChain's ADR-20 for context and guiding principles.
Review Rujira Builder's Paths to understand how we classify builders and what we have to offer.
We are mostly looking for contributors/teams either:
Interested in joining the Rujira Alliance (category 1) to develop something unique and that is not part of the existing roadmap; or
Building on top of Rujira’s core protocols as independent teams (category 2) and contributing to increased economic activity and users growth within Rujira.

Idea List
Below is a non-exhaustive list of ideas. We will update it over time depending on internally identified needs and community feedback.
Bot
Liquidation Path Finder
Since Rujira supports multiple collateral types within its lending and borrowing system, each collateral type requires a unique liquidation path.
Additionally a user can define its liquidation preference.
Because calculating the optimal path is too computationally intensive to execute on-chain, the protocol allows external actors to submit the optimal liquidation route off-chain and earn a fee for providing that computation.

Vault
Systematic strategies
Build systematic strategies and make them available to the community via Trading vaults, after demonstrating a consistent track record. Strategies could be advanced market making strategies, delta-neutral or directional strategies. They should be built on top of Rujira core primitives, notably RUJI Trade orderbook and can use credit accounts to access leverage or hedging. The AutoRujira team (https://t.me/autorujira) can help you access the smart contract infrastructure you need so you only have to focus on building the strategies.

Alternative Frontends
Integrate Rujira in your own frontend
Build your own frontend for any of the Rujira core products, no need to worry about protocol mechanics and bootstrapping liquidity, use our smart contract in the backend and focus on providing a great UX and marketing it to your audience. Monetize with our upcoming referral and affiliate model: https://gitlab.com/thorchain/rujira/-/issues/11

Options
Option Trading
If you are an individual contributor with a strong understanding of the option market looking to join the Rujira Alliance to accelerate the development of the Option vertical (category 1), reach out! We are not looking for large teams or dev shops, just a very competent individual with a clear vision and the drive to lead this vertical. Otherwise we will build it ourselves.

Yield tokenization
Yield tokenization on top of Rujira core primitives
Build yield tokenization products on top of Rujira core yielding primitives (lending, staking, AMM strategies, etc.). Allow people to swap a variable interest rate for a fixed rate over a given period. If you have the vision and skills, let’s connect! You could launch as an independent valued-added project building on top of core verticals (category 2).

RWA
Tokenization of RWA via VNFTs
Build on top of our upcoming VNFT standard to tokenize some Real World Assets. Understand what’s possible, surprise us with original ideas. You could launch as an independent valued-added project building on top of core verticals (category 2).
@PragmaticMonkey
Games
Mini Games
If you are an individual contributor with experience building games and interested in joining the Rujira Alliance to contribute to the RUJI Games vertical (category 1), reach out!
We are also interested in mini games built on top of Rujira core primitives (e.g. using high-leverage bets under the hood), in that scenario, you could launch as an independent valued-added project building on top of core verticals (category 2).
