WETH/THOR Pool
Q111. ThorSwap just recently partnered with Sushiswap to create an Onsen farm for ETH-THOR LP providers to stake their liquidity to earn extra rewards.

What is Onsen farm?
Onsen is a liquidity provision reward system for tokens that are relatively new. This means that tokens on the Onsen menu are another potential source of yield farming for users. Tokens selected to be on the Onsen “menu” are given an allocation of $SUSHI tokens per block to incentivize liquidity provision.
Who are Liquidity providers?
Liquidity providers (LPs) are those people who add funds to a crypto liquidity pool. A liquidity pool is a large amount of money that traders can trade against. In exchange for providing liquidity to the protocol, LPs receive fees from trades that occur within their pool.
