History

"Kwenta is the successor to another Synth trading interface called Synthetix.Exchange. Although Synthetix.Exchange saw steady usage from early community members, as the DeFi space grew it became clear that it had a big problem: by using the same branding as Synthetix the protocol, Synthetix.Exchange was confusing people in the community into mislabelling Synthetix as a DEX or trading interface instead of a building block for DeFi infrastructure. For Synthetix to thrive as a “money lego” in the DeFi space, it became apparent that we would need to separate Synthetix.Exchange from the core protocol’s branding.

To solve this issue, Synthetix worked with the community to create Kwenta, a new interface optimized for zero slippage Synth trading that could offer users a massive advantage over the rest of the market. This separated the branding of the exchange away from Synthetix and created new possibilities for what Synth trading could look like.

Lo and behold, this strategy worked. There are currently four non-core contributor managed projects generating roughly 600 million USD in cumulative monthly volume for the Synthetix protocol. Additionally, there are several more projects joining the Synthetix ecosystem, including Thales, Lyra, and Saddle, that will leverage Synthetix liquidity to power a new era of DeFi tools, driving up volume and fees for SNX stakers."

Upgrades

  • From their twitter (14-1-2022):

"Tokenomics for the Kwenta Protocol have been updated based on community feedback.

TL:DR - No-lock, Depleting Fee Vesting now ADDED: A year-long lock on tokens can disincentivize individuals from joining a protocol. By offering the year-long lock-up with a depleting fee, Kwenta hopes to find balance between the needs of short and long-term holders. When Stakers or DAO roles receive Kwenta it will come with an 80% fee attached to it. This fee would deplete over a years timeframe."
