THORWallet has released native Monero support within its mobile application. Users can now send and receive XMR while maintaining local control over keys, balances, and transaction history.
Why it matters
This integration expands the accessibility of private, decentralized assets within mobile wallets. By allowing users to configure custom nodes, it balances ease of use with the ability to participate directly in the network.
The application allows users to derive multiple Monero accounts from a single wallet seed and supports user-configured nodes. For those who choose not to set their own, the wallet provides a default node connection.
The players
THORWallet
A mobile cryptocurrency wallet focused on non-custodial asset management and cross-chain functionality.
THORChain
A decentralized liquidity network currently auditing and testing Monero support for future integration.
The details
THORWallet functions by storing all sensitive data, including encryption keys and transaction history, locally on the user's mobile device rather than on remote servers. Users manage their interaction with the Monero blockchain—a decentralized digital ledger that uses obfuscation techniques to hide transaction details—by configuring custom node settings within the application menu.
Timeline
October 5, 2026: THORWallet released native Monero support.
The Tech Race
This integration marks a step toward incorporating privacy-focused assets into the broader THORChain ecosystem. The development follows ongoing audits and testing, signaling a coordinated move to expand the protocol's supported asset base.
Users can now manage Monero directly in their mobile interface by importing or creating a seed. While native support is live, users should monitor for future updates regarding cross-chain swapping capabilities currently in testing.
The takeaway
This update increases the utility of mobile wallets by providing native support for private transactions. Users should watch for the upcoming release of cross-chain swapping, which will further change how Monero assets interact with the rest of the decentralized finance ecosystem.
