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.
