SynFutures is an onchain trading protocol for crypto and real-world assets bringing stocks, ETFs, and derivatives onchain. Its vision is to become the protocol where every asset can be traded through open, and permissionless infrastructure. By unifying crypto and real-world markets in one accessible trading layer, SynFutures is building the foundation for a more open global financial system.

*A unified trading layer for crypto, real-world assets, and derivatives.*

### RWA

Through its integration with [Anchored](https://anchored.finance/), SynFutures initially offers 50+ real-world asset markets, including US tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other traditional market instruments. By bringing these assets onchain, SynFutures connects familiar financial markets with DeFi-native transparency, accessibility, and permissionless participation.

### Perp

SynFutures’ Perps Engine combines an onchain orderbook with AMM-based liquidity to power transparent, self-custodial derivatives trading. Built for efficient execution, flexible liquidity, and scalable market creation, it will expand from crypto perps into RWA markets over time.

### Battle-tested across 3 versions

The best practices in TradFi and DeFi are implemented to enable users to confidently trade on a protocol that's been tried and tested through multiple market cycles.

* **$300B+** in cumulative trading volume
