"Synapse is a multichain bridge and exchange with weak security, getting just a 44%. No audits, no bug bounty reduced the score the most. The team is anon, but they had good code documentation (94%) and ok testing (66%). But the security score was 0% without audits or bug bounty or even excuses. For both admin controls (26%) and oracles (50%) the scores were below a pass. The devs did not respond when we sent them the report. There were simple ways to improve the score (though getting a pass without an audit is a challenge. I would give the bridge a wide berth as security and transparency do not seem high on their priorities."

Utility

  • Became an incentive token for its rollup (28-7-2022):

"How does Synapse’s optimistic verification system secure itself? Enter SYN — the economic incentive for the system’s off-chain actors to reach consensus on the validity of cross-chain transactions. Notaries are required to bond SYN to attest to outgoing transactions. Similarly, guards have to stake SYN in order to prevent griefing attacks, a process that regular holders will be able to participate in via DPoS. Dishonest behavior results in SYN being slashed."

Transaction Details

How it works

"Synapse Chain is designed as an Ethereum-based optimistic rollup. By leveraging Synapse’s messaging system and bridge, Synapse Chain will become the organizational hub of all cross-chain activity. Rather than deploy your dapp on ten different chains, why not deploy it on the bridge protocol that’s already connected to every chain? With Synapse Chain, a dapp’s business logic can be hosted on a single execution environment, while simultaneously being able to communicate with all other blockchains. This means "multi-chain" transactions happen atomically, meaning directly on the chain itself.

Fees

  • Upon launch of the chain, gas will be paid in ETH, but the DAO may explore ways to tie usage of the chain to SYN (28-7-2022).
