Synthetix Price Analysis – 15th December 2021

Synthetix (SNX) is a protocol for issuing and trading synthetic assets on Ethereum. Each synthetic asset is an ERC20 token that tracks the price of an external asset; for example each sUSD token tracks the price of the US dollar. The platform currently supports synthetic fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, and commodities.

Synthetic assets (Synths) are collateralized by the ERC-20 compliant Synthetix Network Token. This pooled collateral model enables users to perform conversions between Synths directly with a smart contract, avoiding the need for counterparties. This mechanism attempts to solve the liquidity and slippage issues experienced by Decentralized Exchanges (DEX’s) and the wider Decentralized Finance (DeFi) markets.

Initially known as Havven (HAV), the Synthetix project was founded by Kain Warwick and launched in September 2017 after a private seed round of US$513,000. A complimentary foundation was also launched in 2017. An ICO occurred in February 2018, raising US$30 million and selling 60 million HAV tokens.
