According to The Defiant, ThorChain has paused new swap functionality on 12 blockchain chains following a reported refund error. The platform confirmed the pause specifically applies to initiating new swaps; existing operations under review are not automatically cancelled.
Outbound signing is enabled on most affected chains, allowing users to send payments and complete transactions that do not involve initiating a new swap through the swapped asset interface. This enables limited outbound activity while the swap initiation process remains blocked pending investigation.
The pause relates only to new swaps on the listed 12 chains and does not affect other ThorChain services, staking, or general account functionality. The team is reviewing the reported refund discrepancy to determine resolution steps. No timeline for reinstating full swap capability has been provided.
