With Synthetix V3 now "live," it is a perfect time to question past assumptions to ensure the community is aligned on the long-term vision. This post will focus on the SNX token and its role in the ecosystem.

Infinex Years ago, there was a debate in the Synthetix Discord about what to call our new front-end project. After much bloodshed "Kwenta" emerged victorious, but I never lost hope as an "Infinex” maximalist. Well, now Infinex is back from the grave.

Over the years, the Synthetix community has voiced concerns over the complexity of staking SNX. Given SNX serves as the collateral backing all trades within the network, the percentage of SNX staked is critically important. Although high inflation paid to stakers was an effective strategy to increase staked SNX in 2019, its effectiveness diminished in 2021/22.

One of my favourite things about the crypto community is our deep love of hindsight bias. This is probably a consequence of working in a space with so much randomness. Humans need to find order in chaos, retrospective narratives help create a false sense of order out of this chaos. Lately, I’ve been working to make sense of everything that’s happened in the five years since the launch of the HAV token in March 2018. I keep returning to the same question: why didn’t we figure all of this out faster? Mainly because a bunch of jerks in Discord keep asking it.

I started this series with Part One yet somehow landed back at zero; actually, that's a lie. I didn't set out to write a series of posts at all. I wanted to write a stand-alone post but it quickly turned into a shit show about oracles. I decided to try again, focussing on the Treasury Council. So, once more I present you, an extremely late "State of Synthetix" post.

It is now August 2022, so once again I’m late in delivering my unrequested half-yearly Synthetix perspective.

It goes without saying we are living through unprecedented times, at least from a crypto perspective.

ok I need ROADMAP PUBLISHED. like VERY SOON. I cant take this anymore. every day I am checking for roadmaps and it is staying the same. every day, check roadmap, same roadmap. I cant take this anymore, I have over invested, by a lot. it is what it is. but I need the roadmap to BE POSTED ALREADY. can devs DO SOMETHING??
