Synthetify Vaults allows users to securely borrow synthetic assets, while opening trades in dual directions on a single synthetic asset.
Synthetify Vaults Enables Secure Synthetics Borrowing
Solana-based synthetics minting and exchange platform Synthetify has announced its latest update, releasing the Vaults feature on its mainnet to allow users to securely borrow synthetic assets based on their collateral.
The Vault is a smart contract allowing users to store their crypto assets, using assigned tokens that can later be used as collateral. This secures the assets themselves, and allows for pools of funds that can be used in multiple strategies to maximize returns on the assets. Currently users can borrow and buy/sell using 3 available pairs: mSOL-xSOL, mSOL-xUSD, and xSOL-xUSD.
“Borrowing is a game changer. It not only allows the user to borrow synthetic assets, but also enables them to short and long a single synthetic asset!” states the official blog post on January 4. The post indicates that future Vaults will be added based on community requests: “We will add new ones on a regular basis. You will decide which one will be next.”
Since launching its mainnet in 2021, Synthetify claims to provide a non-custodial means to trade synthetic assets professionally with sub-second settlement time, using the Pyth network price oracles to ensure a constant flow of price update aggregation. The ecosystem currently holds about $31.2 million in collateral and $13.8 in synthetics. SNY token traded at $1.91 on Monday.
