What is Synthetix Network (SNX)?

Synthetix is a synthetic asset protocol that allows for the issuance of synthetic assets on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to mint, hold, and trade a wide range of derivatives – including commodities like gold and silver, fiat currencies like USD, and even stocks. They can also do this for certain cryptocurrencies as well, the most popular being Bitcoin.

Synthetix is able to generate these new assets using a process called collateralization. It is collateralized by SNX, ETH, and LUSD, enabling the issuance of synthetic assets, called Synths. To generate Synths: the user must acquire SNX and deposit it on the Synthetix platform. In return, Synthetix creates a new synth token of the user’s choice. The value of SNX locked would then need to remain at or above 750% of the value of the synth created, which is determined by community governance (and may be subject to change).

Synthetic assets give you a way to get exposure to an asset without having to own it. Plus Synths track and provide returns on the underlying asset without requiring one to directly hold the asset. You can therefore use synthetic assets in DeFi and deposited them to decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, Sushi, or Curve, and you can provide liquidity and earn trading fees just like with other ERC-20 tokens.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you first buy cryptocurrency, you’re issued with two keys: public and private.

  • A public key serves as an address that can be shared with other parties to perform transactions.
  • A private key represents a randomly generated number that signs transactions and protects your assets from malicious attacks. If it gets compromised or lost, you won’t be able to access your cryptocurrency wallet to spend, withdraw, or transfer your assets.

To safeguard and keep track of your keys, you can use online or offline wallets. Online wallets, also known as hot wallets, store private keys on systems or devices that are connected to the internet. Hot wallets are easy and convenient to use, however, they come with several drawbacks. Besides being susceptible to attacks and a honeypot for hackers, with hot wallets, the custody of private keys is often entrusted to a third party such as a crypto exchange, which means you never have full control over your funds. The safer choice are specialized hardware wallets that store private keys offline. Stealing private keys from a hardware wallet would require physical access to the wallet and corresponding PIN or the recovery phrase. What’s more, with hardware wallet, you don’t need to rely on third party custodians.

Ledger Nano is the industry-leading hardware wallet. With more than five million customers, Ledger Nano wallets have several layers of security that protect private keys, and hence your assets:

  • Your private keys are stored on secure element chips.
  • A PIN code and a 24-word recovery phrase are required to access the wallet.
  • Ledger Nano wallets have been built using highly durable materials for protection against physical damage.

With full isolation between private keys and your computer/mobile, Ledger Nano hardware wallets keep your keys secure and give you complete control over your coins.
