community call

ix Network Token

Synthetix, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol focused on synthetic assets, is hosting a community call on Discord on Monday, March 28th at 20:00 UTC. The event will include a live demonstration of their new user interface (UI) upgrade and the chance to trade perpetual contracts.

The new UI aims to provide a seamless and intuitive experience for users engaging with the Synthetix protocol. The UI upgrade is a significant step in making the protocol more accessible to a wider audience.

During the call, the community members will also have the chance to trade perpetual contracts, a key feature of the Synthetix protocol. These contracts allow traders to maintain an open position for an indefinite period, as opposed to the time-bound nature of standard futures contracts.

The community call will be held on the official Synthetix Discord server, a central hub for community interaction, updates, and support.

The Synthetix Network Token (SNX) is a crucial part of the protocol, acting as the primary form of collateral used to mint Synths. Synths are synthetic assets, also known as "ERC20 tokens," created and maintained through smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.

These Synths can track the price of various assets, such as cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin), commodities (e.g., oil), or fiat currencies (e.g., US Dollar), leveraging decentralized price oracles for accurate price feeds.

The overcollateralization principle is applied to ensure each Synth holds less value than the collateral backing it. To maintain a certain collateralization ratio determined by governance, stakers mint or burn Synths or add more collateral, which is essential for them to continue earning staking rewards.

As a core component of the Synthetix ecosystem, the SNX token plays a vital role in securing and driving the protocol.
