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.
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 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.

.@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…

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 .
Here’s how they work on SYNTHR ⬇️🧵
🟢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%.
