Manual RUNEPool withdrawal

This article describes how you can withdraw from THORChain's RUNEPool by creating a THORChain memo using the MsgDeposit feature.

This can be useful in cases where a THORChain front-end is experiencing issues with RUNEPool, and other front-ends are not a viable option.

You can check your RUNEPool position by following relevant instructions in the RUNEPool document.

The below procedure is an advanced feature.

If you at any time feel unsure about using this procedure, then please stop and wait for the front-end to fix their issue!

Procedure

The below procedure uses THORSwap as a front-end. Other front-ends may not support this feature due to its advanced use.

  1. Visit THORSwap
  2. Connect your THORChain/RUNE wallet originally used for the RUNEPool deposit
    • Make sure your wallet contains at least 0.02 RUNE to pay for gas!
  3. In the upper right corner of THORSwap: Cog wheel > Pro Mode Settings > Show Send Custom Tx > Enable
  4. In the menu on the left, click Wallet > Send and then enable the Toggle custom MsgDeposit form option
  5. Do not enter any amount to send!
  6. In the Memo field, enter POOL-:basispoints with the following changes:
    • basispoints should be from 0 to 10000, where 10000 means withdraw 100%, 5000 means 50%, and so on
    • Refer to official THORChain memo documentation for the Withdraw RUNEPool memo syntax itself
    • Do not specify AFFILIATE or FEE parameters!
  7. Click Send
  8. The withdrawal should happen quickly (within a few minutes), since everything stays on THORChain
Please note that after doing so, THORSwap's Transaction History UI will show an infinite spinner. When expanding the UI, it will state that there is a pending "Deposit" transaction of "Send 0 RUNE".

This is a THORSwap UI bug. You can safely ignore it, or click the trash can icon, then Confirm, to clear your entire Transaction History. (Sadly there is no way to remove just this one individual entry.)
