Synthetix is based in Australia, Synthetix launched a seed funding round in September, 2017 to develop the concept of a self-contained stablecoin payment network. They then kicked off their public ICO on February 28, 2018 and by the end of the ICO on March 7, 2018, they had met their goal of $30,000,000 USD. Synthetix was rebranded from Havven on November 30, 2018. Synthetix is led by a multidisciplinary team of 13 individuals. The project was founded by Kain Warwick, who previously co-founded blueshyft, one of the largest digital payment networks in Australia. The CTO is Justin Moses, who also serves as the Director of Engineering at MongoDB. Synthetix aims to address the problem that companies running centralized payment networks such as PayPal, credit card networks, or the SWIFT banking network have “absolute control over the value within the network, so any transaction conducted within them may be blocked or reversed at any time.” According to the Synthetix white paper, “Although this is ostensibly designed to protect users, it introduces systemic risk for all participants. If the network is compromised or its owners cease to behave benevolently, no party can trust that the value in their account is secure or accessible.” This is theorized to work because anyone who holds SNX tokens in escrow will be incentivized by Synthetix rewards derived from network transaction fees that will be distributed “in proportion with how well each issuer maintains the correct Synths supply.” When a Synthetix escrow user puts their SNX in escrow, USD-stabilized Synths will be automatically put up for sale on a decentralized exchange at a price of $1 USD. To release escrowed SNX, the user must buy back the Synths issued (also at a price of $1 USD) at which point the Synths will be burned. The Synthetix system uses an algorithm to adjust network fees, and therefore dividends, to SNX holders to incentivize (or disincentivize) the holding of SNX in escrow smart contracts, and thus, the creation of Synths. The theory is that this will cause users to mint and burn Synths in the appropriate amount based solely on supply and demand.
Reforging The Cornerstone Of The Blockchain World CanonChain will be triggered from the protocol layer and the chipset layer of data communications to provide a robust foundation for the entire blockchain industry. The pursuit of inclusiveness and relative fairness is the target of CanonChain. CanonChain will be triggered from the protocol layer and the chip layer of the communication to provide a robust foundation for the entire blockchain industry. UNDERLYING PROTOCOL We have established the basic protocol for the Fog Networking and implemented a new consensus mechanism via a specially designed blockchain chipset that truly fulfill the transactional capability requirements of dApps at the chip-level BUCKYBALL (FULLERENE) NETWORK Our Buckyball topology architecture will support the decentralized characteristics of DeOSes (Decentralized Operating Systems) and Dapps (Decentralized Applications) operations, by reaching consensus on fragmented self-autonomous network. VALUE SYSTEM BASED ON PARTICIPATION Operating on the main chain and application chain of CanonChain. When the blockchain and network resources are being contributed or used in different levels of applications and blockchain nodes, a standard measure is required, which is known as Xuanchi CZR.
