Synthetix is a decentralized platform for synthetic assets that provides on-chain exposure to real-world currencies, commodities, stocks, and indices. These synthetic assets (Synths) are backed by Synthetix Network Tokens (SNX) locked into a smart contract as collateral. Synths track the prices of various assets, allowing crypto-native and unbanked users to trade peer-to-contract (P2C) on Synthetix Exchange without liquidity restrictions.
