The developers of the SNX token refused to implement the inflation mechanism

Participants in Synthetix have accepted the proposal to make changes to SIP-2043, aimed at ending the "symbolic inflation" of the SNX token. This move paves the way for the implementation of new strategies, including token buybacks and burning, which will be introduced in the next Andromeda protocol update.

Market experts have emphasized that Synthetix stakers will no longer have to wait for weekly inflationary rewards in the form of SNX tokens. Initially, this inflationary mechanism was introduced to stimulate liquidity and the growth of the token's value. However, the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol development team has highlighted that inflation "ceased to be an effective user acquisition tool, leading to its cancellation."

In the future, the startup team plans to use income from trading fees for the buyback and burning of tokens, reducing their total supply through funds generated by the protocol.

This news had a positive impact on the price of the digital token SNX. Over the last 24 hours, its price has increased by 5%. As of 12:40 Moscow time on December 12, 2023, the average token price reached $4.67, reaching a peak of $4.92. Synthetix quotes reached their highest point in 2023.

The last time SNX traded above these levels was in February 2022, even before the crashes of the Terra (LUNA) project, Three Arrows Capital (3AC) fund, and FTX exchange. The market capitalization of the digital currency stands at $1.39 billion, with daily trading volumes reaching $211.82 million.

Synthetix (SNX) is a decentralized finance protocol (DeFi) developed on the basis of Ethereum. It provides the ability to create and trade synthetic tokens reflecting the value of other assets. SNX serves as the internal cryptocurrency within this project and plays a crucial functional role in its ecosystem.
