The Singapore-based startup claims the latest improvement might satisfy rising demand in decentralized finance, or DeFi, among retail traders. The company is funded by the cryptocurrency investment companies Polychain and Dragonfly. According to a press release from SynFutures, the trend gained momentum when Sam Bankman Fried's-FTX exchange failed, and Three Arrows Capital provided a feeling of urgency to the requirement for openness and retail user safeguards.
The business claims that with the change, traders may enjoy permissionless listing of any futures trading pairs, resulting in a greater assortment of alternatives.
According to SynFutures, its V2 upgrade has also added the Synthetic Automated Market Maker (sAMM) technology. This innovation enables liquidity companies to provide only one asset of a trading pair, such as a stablecoin, as compared to an equal number of both tokens, as is typical with most AMMs. SynFutures claimed other enhanced features include refining the user interface with a one-click design and bolstering risk-management measures.
With a $1.4 billion monthly trading activity, SynFutures is the biggest DEX for cryptocurrency derivatives on Polygon, according to the business. The company reported raising $14 million in a Series A fundraising round led by Polychain in June 2021, increasing the total cash raised so far to $15.5 million.
