Synthetix Opens Olympics Betting on Options Platform-Switches on Layer-Two Alpha


Built on Synthetix, users of the Thales Platform may now wager on the outcome of the Olympic Games. Decentralized and synthetic derivatives trading the Ethereum layer-two scale platform Optimism has been started by Synthetix.

Moreover, Kwenta announced on Friday the long-expected debut of the Synthetix Protocol Exchange. As a result, it enables the exchange with optimistic roll-up technology to provide quicker transactions and reduced pricing.


Only four synthetic assets will initially be made available for trade-in layer two: sUSD, Seth, sBTC and sLINK. Data collected during the alpha launch and test stage will enable the protocol to optimize synthetic trading on layer two. Thus prepare the launch for beta as stated.

Decreased Price and Blazing Transaction Speed


Layer two trading will provide a 50x decrease in gas costs and blazing rapid transaction speeds to customers. The Community of Synthetix will assess the success of an early scale platform performance and vote on additional synthetic assets as it sees fit. In a parallel development, the Thales platform, which is built on Synthetix, was recently introduced. Thales is a DeFi platform that offers binary options-style trading, allowing traders to bet on the price movement of the underlying market or active crypto asset.

Because there are only two conceivable outcomes, they are referred to as binary. The decentralized Thales software enables users to establish markets. Furthermore, mint binary options tokens and trade more than 60 different assets. These include cryptocurrencies, commodities, equities and index products, on the platform.


It has established numerous experimental Olympic sports markets. Allowing users to bet on such things as, “Will the USA win the most gold medals?” or “Will Australia’s men’s basketball squad win gold?” The replies are binary, with or without a conclusion that sLONG or sSHORT can use.


On layer two, Loopring announced a partnership with the layer-two solution supplier StarkWare on decentralized exchanges. DAMM, a cross-layer two automated market manufacturer (AMM), was developed through the association and distributed cash over layers. The “d” stands for ‘decentralized.’ The platform is said to be one of the main primitives. Especially for the scalability of DeFi, according to Loopring.
