How to connect to Midgard, THORNode and the base Tendermint layer.

Connecting to THORChain

The active node IP addresses can be queried from this endpoint:

{% tabs %} {% tab title="TESTNET" %} https://testnet.seed.thorchain.info {% endtab %}

{% tab title="CHAOSNET" %} https://seed.thorchain.info {% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

The Network Information comes from three sources:

MIDGARD: Consumer information relating to swaps, pools, volume. DeFi dashboards, Wallets, Exchanges will primarily interact with Midgard.
THORNODE: Raw blockchain data relating to the THORChain state machine. THORChain block explorers will query THORChain-specific information here.
TENDERMINT: Tendermint standard data, used by all block explorers to query for base information.

{% tabs %} {% tab title="MIDGARD" %} Midgard returns time-series information regarding the THORChain network, such as volume, pool information, users, liquidity providers and more.
