What is Synapse?

Synapse is a widely used, extensible, and secure cross-chain communications network. It enables developers to build truly cross-chain applications using the Synapse Protocol.

Overview

Synapse revolutionizes blockchain interoperability by providing a comprehensive suite of tools and networks for cross-chain communication and asset transfers. It comprises four core components that work together to create a robust cross-chain ecosystem.

Key Components

• Synapse Bridge: Enables bridging of stables & ETH between 20 chains.
• Synapse Interchain Network (SIN): An optimistic proof-of-stake interchain network.
• Synapse Chain: An Ethereum-based optimistic rollup built on the SYN OP stack.
• Syn OP Stack: A natively interchain rollup stack, built on Optimism's OP Stack.

What is SIN?

An optimistic proof-of-stake interchain network enabling trustless communication & settlement between chains.

Key Features

• Trustless: Maintains network security with a single honest actor.
• Permissionless: Anyone can run an agent and support new chains.
• Modular Security: Customizable optimistic period for different use cases.

Chain Abstraction

Interact with smart contracts and dApps on any connected chain without switching networks.

Unified Liquidity

Access total on-chain liquidity across multiple chains in a single transaction.

Interchain Connectivity

Seamlessly connect blockchains, allowing new chains to onboard users, assets, and call smart contracts on any chain.

• Enables truly cross-chain applications
• Provides trustless and permissionless interchain communication
• Supports a wide range of use cases with modular security
• Facilitates unified liquidity across multiple chains
• Simplifies blockchain interactions for users and developers

Synapse empowers developers to create innovative cross-chain applications while providing users with seamless access to assets and dApps across multiple blockchain networks.
