I hope everyone is making it through this past week ok - It's obviously been a tough time throughout the industry this week, but it shows us that the path forward for crypto has to be different than what centralized opaqueness created over the last 3+ years. DeFi, with the correct vigilance, can solve all of this, providing non-custodial solutions and inherent on-chain transparency throughout. The DAO contributors understand that on-chain transparency isn't always enough and that crypto needs communication + products built around these rails to help everyone interpret and verify. To address the largest, immediate concern: FTX Both the Synapse DAO & the Synapse Foundation have no direct exposure to FTX to the knowledge of existing contributors. All DAO treasury assets are held on-chain, in smart contracts, across the chains that Synapse is deployed on. The DAO treasury remains strong, with $8.5M in liquid, non-SYN assets. Work to consolidate all of these assets back onto Ethereum will be done soon, and existing contributors would look to the community to take charge of treasury management and/or diversification opportunities. As of the latest information available, Amber is operating fine, though approximately ~10% of their trading capital was locked on FTX (https://twitter.com/ambergroup_io/status/1590382103350640640). Of that amount, approximately 467k SYN was custodied with FTX at the time of withdrawal freeze, which was being used to provide liquidity for SYN/USD markets. Those tokens represent about 15.5% of the 3M SYN loan the Synapse DAO authorized. The Foundation & Advisory Board The Foundation was recognized on Aug 22 to work on behalf of the DAO in a formalized structure. The DAO allocated a $150k budget in the SIP-11 governance proposal to cover "administrative costs (including the independent director fees and other operating expenses) and legal fees paid to effectuate and implement governance proposals, contracting with outside parties and contributors, and similar costs." Note that "Any unused portion of the budget allocation at the end of each fiscal year would roll over to the following year and be applied against the subsequent year’s budget allocation." https://snapshot.org/#/synapseprotocol.eth/proposal/0x185dee9f17067c72825cad5a8277fea83942dbc5edfd4aeade13b8dd53acd4f8 There appears to be some confusion around the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board has not been elected yet - this would take the form of a forum post + governance proposal initiated by any existing Synapse DAO participant to formally ratify 5 individuals to advise the foundation's independent director in how to best direct the foundation, on behalf of the DAO. From SIP-11: "Participants in the community may nominate any individual - whether a Synapse DAO participant or not - to be considered for an Advisory Board “seat” during a one-week “Nomination Period”." The monthly payment to Interoperability, Inc. remains $300k per month as set through Synapse DAO governance. The payment cannot be changed absent a full governance proposal or the election of the Advisory Board, either of which may adjust or terminate the contract. Interoperability is an independent team that conducts engineering, research, and infrastructure work for the DAO. Analytics & the upcoming explorer is one such project of Interoperability. If there are specific projects the community would want the Interoperability team to focus on, conversations around feasibility and process can be had in an open and transparent way on Discord, Telegram, or the forums. This nomination period could commence at any point that a governance proposal is created, and the existing contributors look to all of you for who this advisory board should be! This process should be open, public, and transparent, with tokenholders voting to decide on the Advisory Board: "At the conclusion of the Nomination Period, a one-week “Voting Period” will commence, during which Synapse DAO participants may cast votes for the nominees." As evidenced by the active discourse within Synapse DAO and communi

Gm — the Synapse Protocol core contributors will be hosting a community call on Thursday, August 18th at 12:00 EST (9:00 PST / 16:00 UTC). Aurelius, myself, and other contributors will discuss the vision for Synapse Chain, provide an overview of Synapse V2, and answer any questions from the community. The call will take place in the Synapse Protocol discord, you can join the discussion here: [discord.gg/synapseprotocol](https://t.co/SLQjDYoMTJ)

@everyone — the core contributors to the Synapse DAO have just shared plans for the creation of Synapse Chain, a novel smart contract execution layer built atop Synapse’s generic cross-chain messaging system and value bridge. Synapse Chain is the first sovereign execution environment dedicated to the development of cross-chain applications and primitives. By leveraging Synapse’s generic cross-chain messaging system and token bridge, Synapse Chain serves as the organizational hub and execution layer for all cross-chain smart contract activity. Along with Synapse Chain, the protocol is moving to its next iteration, Synapse V2. Synpase V2 includes: - Generalized cross-chain messaging - Optimistic Verification - Economic Security and Delegated Proof of Stake Synapse V1 changed the way users interacted with blockchains. Through the world-class bridging experience provided by Synapse, users could seamlessly move their assets between blockchains and access a whole new suite of applications. The introduction of Synapse Chain and the Synapse V2 upgrade bring secure interoperability to a whole new level: - Native cross-chain rollup: Synapse Chain offers developers an easy-to-use substrate to quickly build cross-chain dapps without compromising on security, usability, and composability. - More cross-chain use cases: Generalized cross-chain messaging allows developers to expand cross-chain utility past traditional asset swapping. Games, NFT platforms, and DAO governance can now leverage Synapse to deploy across any blockchain. - Secure consensus: Optimistic verification is a step-function improvement in the security of Synapse’s consensus. Additionally, our optimistic bridging implementation will feature in-production economic security. - SYN Staking: With economic security live, SYN holders will have the ability to delegate their stake to guards participating in optimistic verification. You can find full details of Synapse Chain and Synapse V2 in the announcement post: [https://synapse.mirror.xyz/L6dBb7aXIJ1Ll5_sxP2bIJxVEYNd43ZzIV6dRylQJxw](https://synapse.mirror.xyz/L6dBb7aXIJ1Ll5_sxP2bIJxVEYNd43ZzIV6dRylQJxw)

We are excited to share that we’ve launched support for DFK’s Heroes on Synapse! DFK Heroes can now be bridged between Serendale (the Harmony realm) and Crystalvale (the DFK Chain realm). Along with Heroes, we’ve also enabled Gaia’s Tears to be bridged between Serendale and Harmony. This launch is the first NFT use case supported by our cross-chain communications network, unlocking a massive new area of growth for the protocol. The NFT market today boasts a market cap of roughly $10.5 billion USD and saw over $10 billion USD in trading volume in Q1 2022 alone. As NFTs continue to grow, we look forward to expanding their reach and making them accessible across every blockchain. The DeFi Kingdoms team continues to innovate and cement itself as a leader in cross-chain gaming, and we’re thrilled to continue providing the substrate powering all of its cross-chain interactions. The launch of DFK Heroes on Synapse also highlights the extensibility of our cross-chain communications platform. While we’ve seen torrid growth in demand for traditional asset bridging, we expect new Synapse-enabled cross-chain NFT use cases to come to market rapidly. For more information on the launch, check out the announcement on our blog: https://synapseprotocol.medium.com/676b2727cfdd
