TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman interviews Aaluxx, co-founder of Maya Protocol, about cross-chain decentralized exchange technology, tokenomics, and real-world crypto adoption.

Aaluxx explains how Maya Protocol, a permissionless cross-chain DEX forked from ThorChain, enables swaps across major blockchains while facing inherent scalability limits. He discusses the technical barriers to Monero integration, outlines Maya’s dual-token model (Cacao and Maya), and shares insights on cryptocurrency adoption in Mexico, emphasizing utility-driven development over speculation. The conversation also covers Maya’s collaborative stance toward other cross-chain projects like Serai DEX and briefly touches on the upcoming Monerotopia conference in Mexico City.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman talks with JP from THORChain to discuss the project’s renewed effort to integrate Monero (XMR) into its decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol. JP explains why an earlier 2022–2023 integration attempt stalled due to limitations in Monero's old multisig system and security concerns, and reveals THORChain is now developing a new threshold signature scheme to make Monero swaps trust-minimized and scalable. He outlines an expected rollout through the Vultisig wallet, stagenet, and finally mainnet by Q1 2025.

The conversation explores the role of privacy in crypto, competition and collaboration with projects like Serai and Haven, and THORChain’s return to its core mission as a decentralized custodian network. JP emphasizes Monero's importance for financial sovereignty and future AI-driven economies, and invites the Monero community to contribute to the integration effort.
