Synapse Network Embarks On A Historic Journey By Migrating To zkSync
Press Release
Synapse Network, a leading cross-chain launchpad, is embarking on a groundbreaking journey by migrating its native token, $SNP (soon to be $zkSNP), to zkSync, heralding the dawn of the era of Zero Knowledge and Layer Zero integration. Notably, $SNP is set to become the first-ever omnichain launchpad token.
The Synapse Network team, after thorough consideration, has therefore chosen to migrate to zkSync, marking the beginning of a transformative journey. This strategic move positions Synapse Network at the forefront of technological innovation in the blockchain space.
Key Details
As of now, $SNP is accessible on three different chains, embodying a multichain approach. Post the imminent migration to zkSync, scheduled for January 15th, Synapse Network is set to pioneer the concept of an omnichain launchpad token, solidifying its commitment to technological advancements and streamlined user experiences.
Synapse Network's decision to migrate its token stems from a strategic evaluation of its cross-chain model. It is worth mentioning that the cross-chain model will still be the same so users will be able to invest using 17 chains but the multichain aspect of the token will change to be made available on zkSync. Together with the migration, the team will add zkSync as another chain in the cross-chain ecosystem.
Originally designed to offer a seamless, fee-free, and instantaneous reach to the DeFi ecosystem, evolving market dynamics and technological considerations have prompted the team to reassess its approach.
The transition to zkSync is anticipated to simplify infrastructure, concentrate liquidity, and free up resources, enabling the team to focus on enhancing the Synapse Network's overall functionality. The move is driven by a desire to eliminate unnecessary complexities associated with the current cross-chain configuration. Once again, the cross-chain model of the launchpad will still be the same.
$SNP Token Migration Rationale
The imperative shift in the token's network is underscored by the need for long-term stability and control over Synapse Network's holdings. With concerns about the Multichain Bridge ownership, specifically by the Chinese government, the migration seeks to mitigate potential risks, safeguard user interests, and pave the way for real, tangible growth.
While acknowledging the unlikely worst-case scenario, where the Chinese government could impact the token's value, Synapse Network views this migration as a strategic opportunity aligned with market trends, ensuring the continued prosperity of the project and its community.
Terminating The Multichain Token Model
Press Release
Synapse Network's decision to terminate the current multichain token model during migration is grounded in its assessment that the model doesn't bring tangible value to the project or its community. The move aims to simplify user interfaces and improve efficiency for both developers and users, ultimately enhancing the overall experience.
Notably, the termination of the multichain token model does not signify an abandonment of the cross-chain approach entirely. Synapse Network remains committed to adapting to community needs and market trends, with plans to expand support for additional networks that offer innovative solutions.
Moreover, the team will add zkSync as another chain to the cross-chain launchpad feature as aforementioned and through this, Synapse will open a gate for zkSync-based projects to raise capital using the launchpad in addition to also opening these specific projects for a wider community of enthusiastic investors. Finally, it will enable potential investors to easily invest in early stage projects by utilizing the zkSync infrastructure.
