Synthetix is a decentralised synthetic asset issuance protocol built on Ethereum. These synthetic assets are collateralized by the Synthetix Network Token (SNX) which when locked in the contract enables the issuance of synthetic assets (Synths). This pooled collateral model enables users to perform conversions between Synths directly with the smart contract, avoiding the need for counterparties. This mechanism solves the liquidity and slippage issues experienced by DEX’s. Synthetix currently supports synthetic fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies (long and short) and commodities. SNX holders are incentivised to stake their tokens as they are paid a pro-rata portion of the fees generated through activity on Synthetix.Exchange, based on their contribution to the network. It is the right to participate in the network and capture fees generated from Synth exchanges, from which the value of the SNX token is derived. Trading on Synthetix.Exchange does not require the trader to hold SNX.

Meet TrueFi, the DeFi protocol for uncollateralized lending. Earn high yields on stablecoin loans and borrow capital without collateral. We’re proud to introduce TrueFi, a protocol for uncollateralized lending, and TRU, the native token used for staking and voting on loan requests. The goal of TrueFi is to bring uncollateralized lending to DeFi. This helps cryptocurrency lenders enjoy attractive, sustainable rates of return, while giving cryptocurrency borrowers predictable loan terms without requiring collateral. Importantly, all lending and borrowing activity on TrueFi is fully transparent, allowing lenders to fully understand participating borrowers and flows of funds engaging with TrueFi. Lenders (like you) add TrueUSD into a TrueFi pool to be used for lending, earning interest and farming TRU. Any unused capital is sent into the Curve protocol to maximize earnings. Borrowers (like OTC desks, exchanges, and other protocols) submit proposals to borrow capital from the pool.
