What is Synternet protocol?
The Synternet Protocol powers AI Agents that monitor and secure high-risk layers of DeFi - including wrapped assets, liquid staking and restaking tokens, and cross-chain bridges. By streaming real-time, verified blockchain data directly to Agents, it enables rapid detection of depegs, exploits, and systemic threats before they spread across ecosystems.
Engineered for performance and cross-chain interoperability, the Protocol delivers trustless data where and when it’s needed - secured by $SYNT, the native asset of the Synternet network.
How It Works
The Synternet Protocol utilizes a publish-subscribe model, where data providers (publishers) stream data to interested parties (subscribers). This model offers several advantages over traditional request-response architectures, like RPCs and APIs.
Real-time data
Subscribers receive data as soon as it's published, enabling real-time applications.
Reduced overhead
Publishers don't need to respond to individual requests, reducing computational burden.
Decentralization
The publish-subscribe model is inherently decentralized, with no central point of control.
key Players
Publishers
Node operators that provide on-chain data and stream it.
Subscribers
Developers, AI agents, and dApps consuming the data.
Brokers
Network nodes that relay data from publishers to subscribers.
Observers
Nodes that monitor data delivery.
SYNT Token
Payment Rail
Services provided across Synternet are priced and paid for in SYNT. The token facilitates frictionless payments between providers and consumers of data services.
Network Security
SYNT allows providers to stake tokens to operate network nodes. Staking SYNT guarantees security and alignment between providers and the protocol. Slashing mechanisms disincentivize malicious behavior.
Protocol Governance
SYNT gives holders voting power over future protocol upgrades and parameters. This governance mechanism gives the community control over the protocol's future direction.
Audits
The security of Synternet Protocol, as well as the safety of all its users are of utmost importance. Certik, a pioneer in blockchain security, is auditing all current smart contracts and evaluating certain security metrics on a recurring basis.
This ongoing process ensures that our protocol maintains the highest standards of integrity and reliability. We are committed to an ongoing partnership with Certik and other leading auditors to swiftly identify and mitigate any potential vulnerabilities.
