It is a DeFi platform, launched in the early part of 2020 but it is seriously expanding. The team is trying to change the way the Defi platforms are being run. It's TVL(Total Value Locked ) is remarkable, approximately 321 millions dollars. The Synthethix protocols is being powered by SNX token. This allows for the trading of synthetics assets on the ethereum smart contract.
Synths are tokens that provide the exposure to the real assets such as btc, gold, tesla etc within the ethereum network. SNX are seen as collateral while the synths generated are seen as debt when it is locked within the sythetix network. The synths generated can now be exchange for any other tokens or assets which the owner want. To get the SNX back the synths will have to be returned so that they can be burn, then the collateral will be released. The synths can be identified by the 's' that preceeded them, for example sBtc, sSUD etc.
Since the network is decentralized, it does not require any KYC and can be done anywhere. The SNX which is the token of the network can be found in my exchanges including the synthetic exchange. The token has a very strong usage,with that one can expect it's value to grow in the future as many people will be joining the system to tap into the benefit.
