BEP2 and ERC20 RUNE
BEP2 RUNE was officially announced as deprecated in July 2022 when KillSwitch was enabled. This period lasted 12 months.
By July 2023, both BEP2 RUNE and ERC20 RUNE were officially unsupported by THORChain.
THORSwap also effectively removed support for both, including the "RUNE-to-native-RUNE" converter mentioned in past YouTube videos.
BEP2
As of February 10th 2024, two (2) exchanges Bybit and Coinlocally are no longer accepting BEP2 RUNE deposits. It is unknown whether or not such deposits will be restored.
As of this writing there are no known ways to convert BEP2 RUNE into native RUNE or another asset.
ERC20
Swap or sell the ERC20 RUNE on any Ethereum DEX for whatever you can get for it. Uniswap is one such DEX.
