Welcome to the final chapter of SynStation 101, your go-to guide for understanding SynStation, the next-generation prediction market. In this closing episode, we’re diving deep into tokenomics, the economic backbone of our platform. We’ll explore how SynStation ensures fair and sustainable yields, and we’ll reveal the much-anticipated $SYN emission schedule. Let’s get started!
Tokenomics isn’t just about emission schedules or token distribution. It’s about aligning incentives across all participants—traders, liquidity providers, stakers, and token holders—to ensure long-term success.
At SynStation, we’ve studied what works (and doesn’t) in the world of DeFi. By learning from both successes and failures, we’ve crafted a tokenomics model that is sustainable, fair, and growth-focused—not reliant solely on emissions.
SynStation generates yields through three core mechanisms:
The primary source of yield comes from swap fees generated by our prediction markets. Here’s how we attract active traders and create a superior experience:
Lowest spreads in the industry.
Efficient market structures that minimize unnecessary arbitrage.
Diverse market types (binary, multiple outcomes, and spectral).
User-friendly interfaces for both desktop and mobile.
These benefits attract a wide range of users, from casual bettors to serious traders. Their activity generates fees that serve as lucrative rewards for liquidity providers.
For stakers looking for passive income, SynStation offers a seamless staking experience. Instead of hunting across protocols for yields, staking at SynStation unlocks automatic earning opportunities as describe here. Staked funds are collateralized to mint $GM, our stablecoin, without interest. The minted $GM supplies initial liquidity for new markets, earning swap fees along the way.
To maintain the peg of $GM, SynStation employs robust mechanisms:
Algorithmic Market Operations (AMOs): $GM is minted and swapped when depegging occurs, stabilizing its value through strategic buying and selling.
Adjustable Interest Rates: When needed, higher rates encourage debt repayment, restoring $GM’s peg.
Interest Sharing with $stGM: Holders of $stGM enjoy attractive yields, incentivizing deposits and temporarily reducing $GM supply during peg instability.
These mechanisms ensure stability, profitability, and a sustainable, non-ponzi yield model.
SynStation prioritizes fairness in distributing yields. Each yield source is allocated as follows:
External DeFi Yields: Directed to stakers.
Market Operation Profits: Shared with $stGM holders.
Swap Fees: Divided among market proposers, $veSYN holders (who influence $SYN emissions), and liquidity providers (LPs).
The allocation dynamically adjusts based on liquidity needs: when liquidity is low, LPs receive a larger share; when it’s sufficient, the DAO takes a greater portion.
To attract users and liquidity, SynStation offers $SYN rewards, especially during the early stages. Our capped-supply emission model is inspired by Bitcoin, with a half-life mechanism to prevent excessive dilution.
Cumulative emissions, Y(t), are calculated as:
Where:
M: Maximum supply.
H: Half-life in days.
This emission schedule applies to LP rewards. Separate plans will reward early stakers and traders, ensuring all participants benefit.
With this final post in the SynStation 101 series, we’ve covered everything from market mechanics to tokenomics. SynStation is built on sustainable yields driven by swap fees, DeFi strategies, and market operations, along with a carefully designed emission schedule. Our mission is clear: to create a fair and sustainable ecosystem for prediction markets.
