Synthetic Assets
summary
Synthetix issues ERC‑20 derivatives by staking SNX in Mintr to mint sUSD and other synths; contracts burn sUSD to create assets on Synthetix Exchange, with ~30 tradable synths now and examples like gold, inverse exchange‑token and plans for Tesla. Collateral is SNX with 750% collateralization target, weekly fee pool plus an inflationary SNX reward that tapers over four years, a 30 basis points fee per trade paid to stakers, a UniSwap bridge with roughly 5000 ETH each side for liquidity, and small live demos showing ~$30k collateral minting ~$4k debt.
