About Synapse

Synapse (SYN) is a cross-chain communication protocol enabling asset transfers and arbitrary messaging between 20+ blockchains. Synapse operates unified liquidity pools (nETH, nUSD) that enable seamless bridging of ETH and stablecoins across networks. Bridge users don't receive wrapped assets — they receive native tokens from Synapse's liquidity pools. SYN is the governance token for Synapse Protocol, with stakers earning a portion of bridge fees. The Synapse chain is a purpose-built rollup for cross-chain communication serving as a coordination layer.
