Frequently Asked Questions

App Layer vs. L2

Question: Is the App Layer a L2 on top of THORChain? Answer: No, a L2 would suggest a different mempool/consensus mechanism, using the L1 as settlement layer. The App Layer share the same consensus mechanism as THORChain, it has the same blocktime and support atomic transactions between CosmWasm contracts and THORChain L1. We refer to THORChain as the Base Layer and Rujira as the App Layer.

Using the Rujira App Layer

Question: Do I need to have RUJI to use the Rujira App Layer? Answer: No, you do not need RUJI to use the App Layer. Gas fees can be paid with any token on Rujira. Use our cross-chain bridge or IBC transfer to move tokens to the App Layer and then use them to pay gas fees.

Question: Which wallet do I need to use the Rujira App Layer? Answer: Initially, you will be able to use Keplr and Leap to interact with the Rujira App Layer. We plan to integrate with more wallets over time.

RUJI Staking Yield and Token Inflation

Question: Where does RUJI staking yield come from? Is the token inflationary? Answer: RUJI is a non-inflationary token. Rujira dApps generate real revenue from users' economic activity. Fees paid on these dApps (net of THORChain Base Layer share) are converted to USDC and redirected to RUJI stakers.

Value Proposition of RUJI

Question: What are the main value propositions of RUJI and Rujira? Answer: RUJI represents a bet on the success of the Rujira Alliance. RUJI accrue value from the revenue generated by Rujira's core applications, therefore increasing adoption and usage should lead to an appreciation in RUJI's value and/or a higher staking yields. A bet on RUJI is essentially a bet on the growth of the economic activity on the THORChain App Layer.
