Syndicate is a blockchain infrastructure platform built to develop and scale appchains — dedicated blockchains optimized for specific applications. It introduces programmable on-chain sequencers, allowing developers to define how transactions are ordered and executed directly on-chain, eliminating reliance on external or off-chain sequencers. The ecosystem also includes the Commons Chain, which serves as the settlement and operational layer within the network.
The native token, SYND, powers the system by serving as both the gas token (for transaction sequencing and network operations) and a staking asset, aligning incentives among appchain builders, users, and the broader network. Governance is community-driven, with SYND holders participating in decisions on protocol upgrades, treasury management, and other key network initiatives.
