Project Fundamentals
- The Synthetic assets (Synths) are collateralized by the Synthetix Network Token (SNX), enabling the issuance of these assets when the contract is locked in.
- Synthetix currently supports cryptocurrencies (long and short), commodities and fiat currencies.
- SNX holders are paid a pro-rata portion of the fees generated through activity on the Synthetix Exchange, therefore incentivizing them to stake their tokens.
Partnerships / Implementation
- Founded in 2018, Synthetix began its days as “Havven”. Havven’s vision was to build a synthetic US dollar (sUSD) to enable payments and transactions.
- Much of Synthetix’ recent success can be attributed to its innovative token incentive model. SNX holders’ stake SNX in return for fees from the Synthetix exchange
- Synthetix has had financial backing from prominent venture capital firms such as Coinbase Ventures, Paradigm and IOSG.
Roadmap and Announcements
- Planning to rollout Synthetix V3 which will include a full re-architecture of the Synthetix contracts, this will require each token holder to migrate from the old contract to the new one, allowing Synthetix to forgo backward compatibility and redesign everything from scratch.
- Synthetix is also looking to expand the range of crypto assets and commodities that it offers but first must overcome challenges such as dividends and market closures.
- June 2022: Synthetic surpass $1 million in daily fee volume, four times the amount of Bitcoin.
- 26th Aug 2022: Synthetix submitted a proposal that will cancel high yield returns for SNX stakers and cap the total Synthetix (SNX) supply at 300 million.
- In late September 2022 Synthetix related mentions on social media spiked by 80%.
- In November 2022, the Synthetix V2 upgrade reduced perpetual futures trading fee’s to just 10-15bp.
