About
Synthetix Network Token (SNX)

Synthetix (SNX) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain, with increasing integration on Layer 2 solutions like Optimism, designed to facilitate the issuance and trading of synthetic assets, known as Synths. This innovative platform allows users to gain on-chain exposure to a diverse range of real-world assets, including fiat currencies (like sUSD), commodities, indices, and other digital assets, without needing to hold the underlying asset directly. The core mechanism involves staking the native SNX token as collateral within a pooled collateral model. This staking process secures the network and enables the minting of Synths, which track the price of their real-world counterparts through decentralized oracle price feeds.

The SNX token is central to the Synthetix ecosystem's tokenomics. Its primary utility is staking, where SNX holders lock up their tokens to mint Synths and collateralize the global debt pool. In return for providing this crucial collateral and stabilizing the system, stakers earn rewards, which are generated from exchange fees paid by traders on the Synthetix.exchange platform (and other frontends like Kwenta) and, historically, through inflationary monetary policy. SNX also plays a role in the protocol's governance, allowing token holders to participate in decisions regarding upgrades and parameter changes. Synthetix stands as a pioneering DeFi protocol, significantly contributing to the on-chain derivatives market and offering unique financial instruments within the broader blockchain technology landscape.
