Synthetic is a decentralised finance (DeFi) protocol that provides on-chain exposure to a wide range of crypto and non-crypto assets. It is based on the Ethereum blockchain and gives users access to liquid synthetic assets. Synthetix wants to broaden the crypto ecosystem by introducing non-blockchain assets as it provides access to a more robust industry.

It operates in the DeFi market as a decentralised exchange and a platform for assets related to synthetics. It is designed to expose users to the assets via what they call synths, without holding assets, allowing them to trade autonomously and also exchange synths.
