sUSD (SUSD)

sUSD (SUSD) is a unique synthetic asset created by Synthetix, a decentralized derivatives liquidity protocol. Synthetix introduces a new financial primitive that allows the creation of synthetic assets, offering exposure to real-world assets and unique derivatives on the blockchain. With sUSD, users can capture the price movements of popular cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies, stocks, commodities, and more with zero slippage. These synthetic assets, or Synths, are assets voted into existence by the community and can come in various forms.

Traders using sUSD benefit from the innovative liquidity framework and leveraging the Synthetix debt pool, ensuring some of the best price execution with minimal slippage and fills not easily obtained elsewhere. The protocol prides itself on having the lowest downtime and liquidation risk, allowing permissionless and composable trading experiences. Synthetix is powering decentralized perpetual futures, options markets, deal coordination markets, and more, providing a range of platforms built on its protocol.

The Synthetix ecosystem has already gained popularity, with many platforms leveraging its deep liquidity and composability to offer better trades, lower slippage, hedging opportunities, and other unique use cases. The protocol continuously strives to enhance the trading experience with upcoming features such as trading with up to 10x leverage and simulated liquidity for the best price fills through Kwenta. Additionally, Lyra offers the first completely decentralized options protocol, while Thales provides a Parimutuel Markets protocol for trading on price action, sports, and other events.
