Investment Risk

Baseline risk

All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some ‘baseline’ risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.

Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.

Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.

Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.

Defi tokens

Decentralised Finance (or ‘DeFi’) tokens (e.g. , ) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.

Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.

Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets.

For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.

Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or ‘oracles’. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.

Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

About Synapse

SYN is an Ethereum token that powers Synapse, a protocol for bridging and swapping assets across chains, earning yield, and more. SYN can be used to vote on the future of the protocol, and can be awarded to network liquidity providers. Synapse also plans to develop a proof of stake blockchain called Synapse Chain in which validators can stake SYN to help secure the network.

Synapse (SYN) is an interoperability protocol that strives to facilitate the transfer of data across different blockchains. It enables users to move and swap their assets across various chains, including layer 1, layer 2, and sidechain ecosystems. The Synapse ecosystem comprises six components: the Synapse Bridge technology, the cross-chain AMM, aggregative cross-chain communication, the SYN token, the Synapse Chain, and optimistic security approaches. The Synapse Bridge strives to enable users to swap on-chain assets across multiple EVM and non-EVM blockchains. The SYN token powers the entire Synapse ecosystem, and the Synapse Chain is an Ethereum-based optimistic rollup designed to serve as a sovereign execution environment for cross-chain use cases.

Synapse operates using a stableswap algorithm to strive to facilitate the transfer of users' assets between different ecosystems while maintaining slippage, liquidity pool balances, and transaction prices. Its generalized messaging system aims to send any arbitrary data across chains. This means applications no longer have to be separately deployed across multiple blockchains; they can be deployed on a single chain and communicate with other chains to create the same user experience from one central application layer. The Synapse Chain offers developers a generalized smart contract interface for building natively cross-chain use cases by leveraging Synapse’s cross-chain messaging system. Applications built on Synapse Chain can execute their business logic across any blockchain.

Synapse seeks to enhance the interoperability of blockchains, allowing users to move their assets between different networks more efficiently. This can be particularly useful for decentralized applications (dApps) that need to operate across multiple blockchains. The Synapse Bridge technology strives to enable users to swap on-chain assets across multiple blockchains. This can be beneficial for users who want to take advantage of different features or opportunities available on different blockchains. Additionally, the Synapse Chain offers a platform for developers to build natively cross-chain use cases, expanding the potential applications of blockchain technology.

Synapse, based in Singapore, is the rebranding of Nerve Finance, the first stableswap AMM on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC). In August 2021, the project rebranded to Synapse Protocol and modified its business model, but it kept its key investors, including Three Arrows Capital, CMS Holdings, Alameda Research, Immutable Capital, Primitive Ventures, DeFiance Capital, and Mechanism Capital. The Synapse community governs its protocol through a decentralized group of SYN holders, known as the SynapseDAO. Community members guide the protocol’s development by voting and participating in governance activities. As of March 2023, there are 139,773,376 SYN in circulation.
