Native Bitcoin liquidity is too important to depend on one route!
@Harbor_DEX is now live on Rango as both a DEX and bridge route for native $BTC ↔ $ETH, more on way💙🔄
Harbor combines TSS-secured native-asset vaults with a cross-chain order book built for professional liquidity providers, without a wrapped-asset detour.
During its initial rollout, Harbor reported a 100% swap-completion rate and winning 74% of quotes across supported wallets and routes.
Now its liquidity competes with other providers inside Rango; strengthening price competition, route redundancy and execution choice for every user, wallet and dApp powered by our stack🫡
More competitive execution for users, More resilient infrastructure for partners!

Sat down with @pluto_hbr for @OnTheBrinkCIV to talk KelpDAO, deep security in DeFi, Aave, LayerZero, Thorchain, Harbor, and where DeFi goes from here

As of today, Harbor has surpassed $3m in trading volume. Follow along on our explorer: explorer.harbor.xyz/

Swaps are accelerating at @Harbor_DEX 🚢
- bigger swap size available
- more wallet integrations
- 10%+ all time volume in the past 24h
- excellent and transparent swap execution
See it in action on Thorswap. Currently supported assets: BTC, ETH & USDT.
Harbor has demonstrated the first Tempo USDT -> native Bitcoin swap. Call a smart contract on @tempo, receive native $BTC, with a single transaction. @LayerZero_Core handles the @USDT0_to bridge. Harbor handles the Bitcoin swap. Coming soon to a wallet near you.
We’re coming up on 3 months since Harbor’s launch. We’re proud to say that our initial rollout phase is complete, and the protocol has performed to the team’s high standards:
100% swap completion rate, 212x week-over-week growth, 74% of quotes won on routes/wallets supported. Furthermore:
* $500k volume processed to-date, next stop: $1M!
* Live in 5 wallets: @THORWallet (as of today!), @THORSwap, @xverse, @orangerockxyz, @wire_wallet.
* 3 more wallets launching very soon, all made possible via @SwapKitPowered .
* Maximum size: $10k, increasing to $20k soon.
* Routes: ETH/BTC and BTC/USDT, with more planned.
* Roadmap: multi-book routing, chains (BNB, Tron), DEX aggregation.
Stay tuned as we continue shipping!

We are thrilled to be a launch partner for @Harbor_DEX's cross-chain protocol!
We are rolling out Harbor to select interfaces now with quotes capped conservatively at $200 for BTC/USDT and ETH/BTC, ramping up routes and size as both teams build confidence in the execution quality of swapping on Harbor.
Execution quality is at the core of Harbor's design, with the quoted amount included in the swap payload, improving protocol transparency to its swappers.

Today, we are launching Harbor, a Layer 1 network with native asset vaults capable of custodying diverse assets, such as Bitcoin and its UTXO variants (Litecoin, Zcash), Ethereum and its respective L2s, Solana, and more. Harbor’s first application is a cross-chain order book, providing fast and efficient spot trading to service the burgeoning market of cross-chain swaps.
The network employs a dual-actor marketplace to ensure fair pricing and execution for cross-chain swaps. Existing solutions are susceptible to the flaws of solver-based designs, where an “all-or-nothing” approach incentivizes solvers to price quotes ever-higher in the hopes of earning business, but are free to execute wherever they please within a wallet’s price tolerance (usually 3%). Harbor solves this problem by having two separate entities that are naturally opposed to one another: the central limit order book (CLOB) and a smart order router.
The CLOB represents the interest of market makers: performant, programmatic trading APIs allow extremely tight pricing, usually within a single tick of the market’s best bid or ask, at meaningful size.
The smart order router represents the interests of swappers: placing limit orders at exactly the quoted amount, allowing market makers to compete to fill at that price, or regressing the order down the book until it fills or refunds due to price tolerance.
This design ensures that no single market maker is responsible for the execution quality of a swap. The swap is worked through the order book, ensuring the best possible pricing, utilizing liquidity provided by multiple makers, while preventing quotes higher than fillable orders.
We believe Harbor’s design— a hybrid DEX securing custody through threshold signature vaults and a decentralized validator set, paired with a high performance matching engine for speed and execution, along with the ability to support other purpose built “subnets” utilizing its vaults— positions Harbor as the best L1 design capable of delivering neutral, efficient, decentralized, native asset rails. Follow us for more details about our upcoming plans, intro blog post, whitepaper and more.

Proud to be the frontend launch partner of @Harbor_DEX. Welcome to the cross-chain family! 🫡
Harbor's innovative cross-chain order book aims to provide fast and efficient non-custodial spot trading with greater transparency for accurate execution.
For now quotes will be capped conservatively at $200 for BTC/USDT and ETH/BTC pairs, ramping up in size and new routes as the protocol scales.

We have received many inquiries about validator participation and decentralization. No modern protocol starts out in a decentralized state, and Harbor is no different. We commend @THORChain’s real decentralized values. From removing admin from its founders, to locking treasury LP in a node-owned module, to implementing its governance process (ADR), our founders were responsible for many of the practices that made THORChain as decentralized as it is today. We remain committed to bringing those same values to Harbor. It takes time!
Swap integration docs will be released soon. The trading API will open up sometime in 2026. Sources will be released prior to TGE. In the meantime, validator set is permissioned. We will release details about the Interim Validator Program soon.
