Synthetix Description
Synthetix, a decentralised protocol for issuing synthetic assets, is built on Ethereum. These synthetic assets are secured by the Synthetix Token (SNX), which, when locked in the contract, enables the issuance synthetic assets (Synths). This pooled collateral model allows users to convert Synths directly using the smart contract without the need for counterparties. This mechanism solves liquidity and slippage problems experienced by DEX's. Synthetix currently supports synthetic fiat currencies as well as cryptocurrencies (long- and short-term) and commodities. SNX holders are encouraged to stake their tokens because they receive a pro-rata share of the fees generated by activity on Synthetix.Exchange. This is based on their contribution towards the network. It is the right of participation in the network and the ability to capture fees from Synth exchanges. From this, the value of the SNX token can be derived. The trader does not need to have SNX to trade on Synthetix.Exchange.
