Synthetix has grown and advanced over the previous six years—from humble beginnings as a pioneer of artificial property to turning into the premier selection for liquidity and derivatives infrastructure, powering over half a dozen platforms throughout main blockchains.
Our neighborhood, which is on the coronary heart of the whole lot we do, has requested for a consolidated view of what has been constructed on every chain, what’s coming, and what to get enthusiastic about. This report provides perception into our present and near-future multi-chain technique. An extended-form roadmap will likely be shared quickly.
Base
The house of our first deployment of Synthetix V3, Base is USDC-denominated for each LPs and merchants. Supported LP collateral contains stataUSDC (non-rebasing Aave aUSDC) and USDC, which merchants use as margin collateral. On account of this USDC focus, solely USDC-denominated property can be found for lending at the moment.
We’re enthusiastic about upcoming Multi-collateral Perps contracts on Arbitrum, which, alongside accepting non-USDC dealer margin collateral, will enable us to considerably develop open curiosity (OI) throughout long-tail property. As soon as dwell, we’ll prioritize this improve on Base, which is at present present process checks on Base Sepolia testnet. Keep tuned for extra particulars on migration and integration updates.
In parallel, Kwenta is working towards an open beta of Orderbook Perps, focusing on a late October launch, aligned with Optimism’s Mission Request timelines. The work will likely be open-source to satisfy grant necessities. A full roadmap and timeline will comply with quickly.
Arbitrum
Synthetix V3 on Arbitrum is nearly right here (keep tuned), providing multi-collateral liquidity positions and dealer margin help.
Present supported collateral contains:
WETHARBUSDCUSDeEtherFi weETHLido wstETH
Governance has additionally permitted new LP additions:
stataUSDT (Aave interest-bearing USDT)stataUSDC (Aave interest-bearing USDC)Ethena sUSDe
Kwenta will combine as the primary frontend for Multi-collateral Perps, turning into the primary Perps DEX to help multi-collateral margin throughout any EVM chain.
Merchants on Arbitrum can use WETH, tBTC, SOL, USDe, and USDx as margin collateral. We additionally plan to introduce yield-bearing collateral like weETH, wstETH, and sUSDe quickly.
For liquidity suppliers, Arbitrum provides the prospect to mint USDx towards collateral and unlock unprecedented capital effectivity, whereas incomes Perps buying and selling charges. We’ll steadily elevate USDx provide caps as demand grows and its use in different DeFi protocols will increase.
Mainnet
Synthetix V3 is now deployed on Ethereum Mainnet, with the Treasury Council migrating their staking positions. V2 stakers can migrate their positions and sUSD (quickly to be renamed “Legacy sUSD”) at a 1:1 price by means of the LP app, which additionally manages Mainnet positions.
V2 stakers will nonetheless earn charges from Perps V2, however migrating to V3 positions will present entry to our upcoming Large “Freaking” Perps (BFP) product.
BFP contracts are optimized for L1 execution, and supply a framework for delta-neutral yield vaults to again a totally decentralized, Ethena-style stablecoin. We consider BFP would be the best and cost-effective platform for leverage on Mainnet.
At the moment dwell on testnet, BFP contracts are being developed with a number of integrators for buying and selling frontends and vault interfaces. In the event you’re an integrator seeking to leverage the following era of Synthetix perps on Mainnet, now’s the time to get in contact!
Optimism
Perps V2 is dwell on Optimism, with SNX stakers offering liquidity. SNX stakers mint sUSD, which can be utilized for buying and selling perps, minting leveraged tokens, buying and selling parimutual markets, and incomes yield.
Lively platforms embrace:
As we wrap up the Mainnet V3 migration, we’ll shift our focus to migrating Optimism to V3. SNX stakers will be capable of migrate their positions and sUSD to the brand new contract at a 1:1 price, with sUSD used for debt administration of LP positions. Optimism will proceed to help Perps V2, with SNX LPs incomes charges.
With the Superchain technique evolving, it’s essential that integrators develop to Base and Arbitrum. OP-only growth will likely be deprioritized as we push towards broader chain integration.
SNAX Chain
As Synthetix expands, the following logical step is launching our personal blockchain—SNAX Chain—constructed on the Optimism Superchain.
The primary part started with migrating governance capabilities throughout a number of chains, utilizing Wormhole messaging for each EVM and non-EVM deployments. The primary election cycle has concluded, and we’re now targeted on the following part of growth.
SNAX Chain will turn out to be the brand new dwelling for SNX staking and cross-chain price assortment, changing Optimism and Ethereum Mainnet. This migration will likely be incentivized by means of a revised SNX worth accrual mechanism, dwelling on SNAX Chain.
Finally, SNAX Chain will help cross-chain liquidity, leveraging pooled liquidity throughout a number of chains. Optimism’s interoperability will allow Synthetix to share liquidity throughout Superchain deployments, making SNAX Chain the hub for yield era within the Synthetix ecosystem.

As Q3 involves a detailed, we’re excited for the following part of our multi-chain deployments. Comply with us on X with notifications on and our new announcement channel on Telegram to get the most recent information about our upcoming releases.
