Zechub Wiki Updates: ZEC Integration on THORChain (Cross-Chain Liquidity Explainer)

[dework-integration]

Create a structured wiki-style writing thread explaining the integration of Zcash (ZEC) on THORChain.

This task focuses on producing a clear, educational breakdown of how ZEC functions within THORChain’s ecosystem, highlighting native swaps, liquidity access, and decentralized infrastructure design.

The final output should read like a wiki article: clean, technical, and easy to understand.

Objectives

• Explain ZEC integration within THORChain in a wiki format
• Describe native cross-chain swaps (no wrapping, no intermediaries)
• Highlight direct ZEC liquidity in THORChain pools
• Cover interoperability with BTC and ETH
• Include THORSwap Near Intents + Maya Protocol roles
• Emphasize decentralization and non-custodial access

Required Writing Structure

1. Introduction – Overview of ZEC x THORChain integration
2. Native Cross-Chain Swaps – How asset movement works without wrapping
3. Liquidity Pools – Direct ZEC liquidity mechanics
4. Interoperability Layer – BTC, ETH and multi-asset connectivity
5. Ecosystem Extensions – THORSwap Near Intents + Maya Protocol
6. Security & Decentralization – Non-custodial architecture benefits
7. Conclusion – Summary of ecosystem impact and utility
