Though the ecosystem is growing remarkably quickly, being in its early stages, TVL may be slow to catch up.
Here’s how SYNTHR is accelerating this 🧵🔽
The network uses Move - a revolutionary open-source programming language for developing smart contracts initially created by @Meta to power the Diem blockchain.
In particular though, @SuiNetwork is designed to keep #Gas prices much more consistent (and low).
Its object-centric design also allows for independent transactions to be processed in any order, in effect making it highly scalable.
However, though Sui is growing in popularity, by virtue of the nascency of its building blocks, #TVL migration could take some time.
With SYNTHR, this will be accelerated manifold.
SYNTHR’s deployment on #Sui will not only provide this opportunity within itself, but also open up the doors for exponentiation via others.
Four major functionalities will enable this 🔽
1⃣. SYNTHR as a synthetic asset protocol will enable users to mint and trade on-chain #derivatives that track financial assets on the #blockchain.
2⃣. SYNTHR will allow users of @SuiNetwork to trade more assets than ever before, by enabling valid transfer of value (aka funds) into #SuiNetwork from other networks (and vice versa) with minimal #Slippage cost.
(If you're a trader, you know the power this holds 🐸)
3⃣. SYNTHR's NuclearPort will also allow newer users to take #trading positions on Sui whilst still holding their preliminary capital (aka collateral) on a legacy chain like #Ethereum.
4⃣. SynthSwap, the protocol's internal slippage-free DEX, will allow users to #swap syAssets using simultaneous minting and burning of syAssets at oracle price feeds, providing users with access to liquidity 24/7.
SYNTHR’s low-slippage cross-chain swaps'll drive adoption; this is bound to drive up the usage of supported networks, leading to further innovation.
This could be the start of a positive feedback loop that would turn Sui into an economic powerhouse, much like #Ethereum is today.
Sui is thriving; it’s a well-built network, with several great projects.
SYNTHR opens up a new world of opportunity to @SuiNetwork users, and looks forward to being a core infrastructure protocol deployed on it 🐸
A robust & sustainable fee distribution system is an integral part of any #DeFi protocol 🐸
There exist a few different models, but the two most well-regarded ones are the LP fee model (as adopted by @Uniswap ) & the Vote-escrow model (pioneered by @CurveFinance ) 🧵🔽
🟢The LP fee model (LPs provide liquidity & are issued LP tokens to earn rewards from txn fees generated on the protocol)
✅PROS: Highly sustainable in the long-run.
❌CONS: The native token (e.g. $UNI) has no real utility, & mcap is usually not indicative of protocol usage.
🟢The veToken Model (Token holders lock up tokens (e.g. CRV) to receive vote escrowed tokens in return (e.g. veCRV); holders of these earn a significant portion of protocol fees)
✅PROS: Rewards long term holders w/ the majority of governance power & passive income from proto-
The use of a censorship-resistant, fully #decentralized oracle service to ensure a trustless #DeFi ecosystem is non-negotiable in an omnichain synthetics #trading protocol like SYNTHR.
Here’s why 🧵🔽
Price Feeds are used when:
🟢Users stake $ETH & mint syUSD - To pull ETH prices to check how much syUSD can be minted as per the collateralization ratio.
🟢Liquidations occur: To determine how much amount of the syAsset is to be liquidated, how much debt must be paid off, & how much is the remainder to send to the Stability Pool.
.@synthetix_io - pioneer of the Debt Pool model & #slippage -free swaps is a highly sound #DeFi protocol, technically.
However, all synths on it are backed by their native $SNX , causing decreased usage & serving as a bottleneck for growth.
Here's how this is avoided on SYNTHR🔽
The use of its native token, $SNX as (over)collateral, poses some risk; the system depends on the value of the $SNX token being relatively stable.
If the price of $SNX were to fall quickly, it could potentially cause mass liquidations of syAssets on the Synthetix platform…
…and to prevent this & preserve collateralization ratio, the system depends on users buying more $SNX tokens. Furthermore, newer regulation also threatens to upend the $SNX -backed minting system, affecting current & future iterations of the protocol.
SYNTHR is more than a siloed price exposure platform - we're a core #infrastructure project that will allow users to #Mint highly solvent synthetic assets that foster #composability and capital efficiency within #DeFi 🐸
Here's how we will be highly composable to DEXs ⬇️🧵
I. Yield-farming: Synthr will run #LP incentivisation programs with #DEXs , allowing users to deposit syAssets and earn $SYNTH, all whilst building deeper liquidity across these DEXs and on various #chains .
II. Enabling Atomic Swaps
Our partner #DEXs will use SYNTHR’s low-slippage swapping engine, SynthSwap, to execute atomic swaps initiated by their users.
🟢User executes swap from #ETH to #WBTC on SynthSwap
🟢#DEX aggregator swaps ETH to syETH
🟢syETH is burned
🟢syBTC is swapped for WBTC on DEX aggregator
🟢User receives WBTC
These steps occur within one transaction from a user’s POV, & reduce #slippage costs by over 80%.
Our Atomic Swaps tech enables #DEXs and #Bridges to integrate with us, making SYNTHR a highly #composable protocol that serves utility to the wider #Crypto community; in this case, zero-to-low slippage swaps.
