🔥 Leverage Unleashed: Synthetix Perps
Synthetix has announced the launch of Synthetix Perps, a composable on-chain leverage system powering an ecosystem of protocols that bring traders on-chain. The ecosystem includes protocols like Kwenta, Polynomial, Infinex, Rage Trade, and dHedge on the Ethereum base layer and Optimism, as well as TLX on Optimism and Ethena Labs on Ethereum L1. More protocols are expected to join the ecosystem soon, enabling the creation of synthetic assets, unique derivatives, and exposure to real-world assets on the blockchain.
