Synapse Price

Synapse operates as a blockchain protocol that aims to provide tools for interoperability. This is largely through its cross-chain messaging protocol that offers support for assets and smart contract calls. In this manner, it allows blockchains to easily and securely communicate with each other. For example, developers can use the Synapse protocol to create decentralized applications such as cross-chain DEX, lending platforms, margining systems, derivatives markets, yield aggregators, as well as other types of applications.

Synapse’s native token is SYN. It has a maximum supply of 250000000 SYN and is used as a means of value transfer within the Synapse ecosystem.

What are Synapse’s key features and how does it work?

Synapse, in essence, operates as a base layer protocol. In this capacity, it has three core components: generalized cross-chain communication, optimistic security model, and synapse bridge. The generalized cross-chain communication is facilitated via Synapse’s messaging system. Arbitrary data is sent across chains securely and seamlessly. This means that applications do not have to be deployed separately on each blockchain, but rather once on one single chain. Synapse’s messaging system then allows crucial information such as smart contract calls to be passed between blockchains allowing applications to operate on different networks.

In short, Synapse’s optimistic verification works by assuming that transactions are honest, whilst a network of off-chain actors work to submit and report proofs of any malicious or fraudulent transactions during the course of an optimistic window, after which a transaction is finalized. This mechanism, supposedly, makes it more costly and difficult for any malicious actors to behave and this improves security.

The Synapse Bridge is a user-facing product. It is built on top of the protocol’s own communication network. It is the first application built using Synapse and allows users to swap assets across EVM and non-EVM blockchains. 

What can SYN be used for?

Synapse smart contracts can be leveraged by developer teams in order to create truly cross-chain compatible applications. Regardless of whether they are base layers, roll-ups, or application-specific chains.
