Synthetix Network Token to Release New Version in June
Synthetix Network Token is entering a crucial phase of its v.3.0 rollout, which will introduce a new foundation and architecture for the protocol. The key changes include accelerating real yield by replacing inflationary SNX rewards with real yield from trading fees and a buyback/burn mechanism to reduce SNX supply. Additionally, sUSD will be backed by diverse assets like SNX, ETH, USDC, and yield-generating collateral, increasing scalability.
The migration to v.3.0 will begin in June and be carried out in two phases. The first phase will involve SNX stakers on the Ethereum mainnet migrating in June. The second phase will extend the migration to Optimism SNX stakers after the Ethereum phase. The migration will be seamless, with SNX and sUSD in V2X being migrated 1:1 in v.3.0 without burning staker sUSD debt.

Synthetix is undergoing a pivotal phase of the V3 rollout, introducing a new foundation and architecture for the protocol. This transition also marks a significant step towards enhancing the scalability and decentralization of the Synthetix stablecoin, sUSD.
Key Changes:
- Accelerating Real Yield: V3 replaces inflationary SNX rewards with real yield from trading fees and a buyback/burn mechanism to reduce SNX supply.
- sUSD Collateralization: sUSD will be backed by diverse assets like SNX, ETH, USDC, and yield-generating collateral, increasing scalability.
- Simplified LPing: Delta-neutral design for Synthetix Perps & Spot Markets makes participation easier.
sUSD Incentives (Starting Next Week):
- Velodrome (Optimism): +10,000 OP/week for sUSD/USDC liquidity
- Curve Finance (Ethereum): +20,000 SNX/week for sUSD liquidity pools
Migration Plan:
- June: Migration to V3 begins
- Two Phases:
1. Ethereum Mainnet: SNX stakers migrate in June.
2. Optimism: Migration extends to Optimism SNX stakers post-Ethereum.
Mechanics (SIP-306):
- SNX Migration: Seamless transition from V2X to V3 without burning staker sUSD debt.
- sUSD Migration: sUSD is upgraded in V3, backed by multiple assets for better stability and resilience.
- sUSD & SNX in V2X will be migrated 1:1 in V3.
