U.Today - Synthetix (SNX), a decentralized liquidity provisioning protocol, is entering a new era with the recent release of Andromeda, an upgrade that has brought a deflationary mechanism to the protocol’s . According to the on its official X account, following the release of Andromeda on Base Network, 40% of the Perps V3 Fees will be allocated to buying back and burning SNX through Yearn Finance-inspired contacts.
This deflationary push of Synthetix is hinged on the proper distribution of fees generated by the protocol through its multi-chain deployments. According to the hinted fee distribution breakdown on Base, 40% will be allocated to SNX buyback and burn, 20% will go to Perps Integrators, and USDC liquidity providers will get 40% of the remaining funds.
The buy-back-burn and Andromeda upgrade is part of SIP-345, which brings more than just the deflationary change to the Synthetix ecosystem. The liquidity provider has also expanded its collateral base with the addition of USDC on Base.
The goals of Synthetix with the release are multi-faceted, and besides enhancing the overall outlook of the protocol by shrinking the SNX supply, it also makes it more attractive for developers, traders and liquidity providers among other stakeholders.
