- Synthetix is a derivatives liquidity protocol on Ethereum that enables the issuance and trading of synthetic assets.
- The synthetic assets can track the price of any other asset, whether that’s currencies, equities, bonds, commodities, or even other cryptocurrencies.
- SNX tokens are used to earn exchange fees for collateralizing the protocol.
- In the Synthetix protocol, collateralized assets are combined to act as a counterparty debt pool to all minted assets.

About Project
Synthetix Network Token (SNX) Synthetix is a decentralized synthetic asset issuance protocol built on Ethereum. Formerly known as Havven, the project has undergone a significant rebranding to expand its use cases and future potential. Essentially, synthetic assets are a combination of securities to model the price of another underlying asset. This way, users can access any supported derivative without even worrying about the storage of the underlying asset itself. This allows users to quickly switch between abstract assets (like ETH and APPL) without any delay or exchange fees.
Using Mintr, synthetic assets called Synths are created by placing Synthetix Network Tokens (SNX) as collateral. Synthetix uses a private oracle to obtain real-time information from trusted financial market resources. The protocol currently supports synthetic fiat currencies, digital assets, and commodities.
The ability to store and copy Synths opens up many new possibilities for trading, hedging, making money transfers or other payments, managing portfolios, and more.
Tokens
The creators created a system consisting of two tokens: Synthetix Network Token and Synths:
- Synthetix Network Token - a token that provides liquidity in the system;
- Synths is a token whose value is tied to the price of a real asset (fiat, precious metals, company shares, etc.).
Such a solution makes it possible to simplify investing in different types of assets, and at the same time contributes to the popularization of cryptocurrency and the growth of the rate.
SNX coins are the backbone of the platform. It is a technical cryptocurrency used to create Synths tokens, which, at the same time, can only be issued with a zero balance in the main wallet. To date, the total supply of tokens is over 150 million SNX.
Synths tokens are produced through a smart contract. During the operation, all information about blocked SNX will be recorded in the XDR regulator. It is designed to prevent fluctuations in the exchange rate. From the received funds, a pool is formed, which is then distributed according to a proportional system among all those who "frozen" SNX. Token transactions go through the Synthetix Exchange.

Perspective
Bear in mind that the project is still experimental at the moment. Crypto market analysts have speculated that to unlock their SNX, the company's management will have to burn a much larger amount of Synthetix than was released, and this creates a considerable risk for platform users.
The Synthetix project remains dependent on Ethereum. At the same time, the platform may face serious competition in the tokenization of digital assets. Despite this, the Synthetix Network Token system can be considered a promising project within the Ethereum ecosystem. Developers are constantly working on the project, introducing various improvements, which contributes to an increase in potential token creators, who are provided with considerable support.
