Introduction
Decentralized Finance, or DeFi, has ushered in a new era in broad use cases for cryptocurrency. Prior to the inception of DeFi, the only use cases for cryptocurrency were using it as a means of exchange, generating revenue through cryptocurrency mining or staking, and running nodes to support a decentralized economy. Money today has become gamified as a result of the emergence of Turing complete blockchains and other infrastructure layers such as oracle services and decentralized query services, in the sense that users can lend, borrow, trade, stake, or a combination of the four in a permissionless and trustless environment. SYNTHR aims to build on existing DeFi products to make financial assets more accessible through the creation of synthetic assets, Delta-Neutral Vaults, Hedge Pools, and derivatives.
