Action Required for Non-USD Spot Synths on Ethereum Mainnet

Mon 8th Apr 2024
Synthetix is deprecating spot synth exchanges (and atomic swaps) for non-USD synths like sETH, sBTC, and others on Ethereum Mainnet (L1) on April 15th. Holders of these synths must swap them before this date. After April 15th, any remaining non-USD spot synths can only be redeemed via the L1 redeemer contract at the Chainlink price for sUSD. The Spartan Council may apply a discount rate that dilutes the value of unswapped spot synths. This change aims to neutralize skew for stakers and facilitate hedging for SNX stakers, paving the way for Synthetix V3.
