Synthetix

Synthetix operates as a decentralized liquidity layer on Ethereum and Optimism, revolutionizing the trading of synthetic assets and perpetual futures without traditional order books. Its native token, SNX, is crucial for staking, governance, and earning a share of trading fees. The governance structure of Synthetix involves a collaborative model with community members, core contributors, and elected councils and committees, ensuring a fair and transparent decision-making process. Funding milestones include raising $250,000 in a Seed Round, $610,000 in a Pre-Sale, $23.42 million in a Private Sale, $5.3 million in a Public Sale, and $3.8 million in Partnership Incentives, along with $12 million in later funding rounds. Additionally, Synthetix's strategic collaboration with Optimism brought in an allocation of 9 million tokens, earmarked for distribution to its user base.

Derivatives

Elevate

Elevate is a decentralized cross-chain bridge that facilitates rapid, secure, and cost-effective transfers of Ethereum-native assets across various Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, as well as Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains.

Bridge

Unlooped

Unlooped differentiates itself in the digital music and NFT space by enabling artists to mint new song variations as NFTs directly to their wallets on the Base network. This platform offers artists the ability to deploy their smart contracts for collections, ensuring full control and management. Unlooped also incorporates on-chain storage for its graph and decentralized storage for samples, enhancing security and ensuring music permanence. Unlooped emphasizes artist ownership and creative freedom. It is a self-bootstrapped project, not having received external funding or participated in previous funding rounds.

SocialFi

Giveth

Giveth is a community-centric platform that fosters a giving economy by supporting social, environmental, and humanistic projects through blockchain technology. It features a zero-fee donation platform and a GIVbacks program that rewards donors with GIV tokens. The GIVeconomy, central to Giveth's tokenomics, incentivizes giving and supports decentralized governance through mechanisms like GIVgarden and Quadratic Funding. Giveth’s governance model emphasizes decentralization and community participation, allowing stakeholders to influence the platform's direction. Superchain Eco also has a donation profile on Giveth: https://giveth.io/project/superchain-eco?apcid=00679387a5f1382c1a9cf500

Onchain Tooling

Fxhash

FxHash stands out in the generative art space by providing a user-friendly platform for artists, collectors, and curators to engage with generative art. Unlike other platforms, it does not have its own token, focusing instead on enabling the creation, sale, and collection of unique NFTs. Governed solely by its core team without a formal governance structure, FXhash prioritizes direct oversight and decision-making. The project has garnered significant support, raising $5 million in seed funding led by 1kx and supported by various notable entities

Symbiosis Finance

Symbiosis Finance is a cross chain decentralized exchange that unifies liquidity from various blockchains, supporting both EVM and non-EVM technologies. It simplifies cross-chain token trades and asset transfers with a single-click operation, offering competitive rates and low transaction costs. Governed by a DAO utilizing the SIS token, it empowers holders with voting rights, security contributions, and participation incentives, encouraging active involvement and long-term commitment through token staking for governance and rewards. With $5 million raised over three funding rounds, backed by prominent investors like Delta Blockchain Fund and Binance Labs, Symbiosis Finance has established a solid foundation for growth and innovation in the decentralized exchange space.
