## What is the SYNC Network (SYNC)?


The SYNC Network is a Layer 2 platform that creates cryptocurrency bonds that earn interest via Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The network uses ‘CryptoBonds,’ a new sort of financial primitive, to create digital interest earning assets with a twist — receiving principal amounts plus earned interest in a fully trade-able NFT that can be sold on secondary markets like OpenSea and Rarible any time.

The goal of the SYNC Network is to bring stability and risk mitigation to DeFi by providing long-term staking, or ‘CryptoBonds’, to Automated Market Makers (AMMs) like Uniswap.
 

## What are CryptoBonds?


A CryptoBond is a fully tradeable ERC-721 NFT token that locks in liquidity on Uniswap. The SYNC platform mints two tokens: an ERC-20 awards token for Uniswap Liquidity Providers; and an ERC-721 NFT that bonds Uniswap liquidity pairs to SYNC tokens for a specified amount of time (ranging from 90 days to 3 years) that earns interest. When the CryptoBond matures, the holder receives back the original investment plus interest. 

The CryptoBonds are made by bonding liquidity pair tokens with the corresponding dollar value of SYNC tokens at the current mining reward rate. Called ‘bonds’ because they are made by ‘bonding’ tokens representing the creators share of a liquidity pool (e.g., Uniswap ‘liquidity-tokens’) with an equally valued amount of SYNC tokens, until a specific period of time has lapsed (i.e., a CryptoBond reaches maturity).

Some other unique features of CryptoBonds are individualized liquidity mining rewards that are readjusted daily based on liquidity pool supply and demand, and rare one-of-a-kind artwork that is created when the bonds are minted.


## How many tokens in circulation?



While the total supply of SYNC is undefined, total supply can be seen any time by visiting [https://tokenomics.syncbond.com/total_supply](https://tokenomics.syncbond.com/total_supply). The total maximum supply of SYNC tokens is theoretically uncapped due to the inflationary and deflationary effects derived from market forces, i.e., when a bond is created, an equal value of tokens are burned from the total supply.

## Who Are the Founders of SYNC Network?  

The SYNC Network was developed by a core group of agile developers, but the platform is community-governed and a fully decentralized DeFi ecosystem. The SYNC Network is governed by token holders who put forth proposals for a community vote, with CryptoBond holders having the most power (the more CryptoBonds you hold, the more voting power you have). However, any SYNC token holder can create a governance proposal to be voted on by the community.


## Where Can I Buy SYNC Network (SYNC)?


The SYNC Network was originally developed to be used on Uniswap, and can be found here. However, the team is exploring other integrations for the future on other AMMs and DEXes.

Zap (ZAP) is the first-ever decentralized oracle platform to be released to the public. The official launch for Zap oracles was in January 2019; however, work and development on the project began in 2017, when the coin first went public. The Zap protocol is an innovative take on data sharing, token creation and decentralized applications (DApps). In addition, the platform allows users to set bonded pricing curves. The combination of all these capabilities makes Zap a multifunctional blockchain solution for a wide range of applications.

The Zapp protocol’s main goal is to be an all-in-one solution for DApp developers, investors and other enterprises looking to introduce blockchain decentralization to their operations.

The Suterusu Protocol is a second-layer private payment infrastructure for smart contract platforms. The Suterusu Protocol uses the original and most advanced ZK-ConSnark algorithm that does not require a trusted setup. The algorithm’s proof size is significantly reduced and the proof generation and verification efficiency are greatly improved compared with similar solutions. Since no trusted setup is required, it is safe and transparent. The technical paper has been accepted by Eurocrypt 2021(https://eurocrypt.iacr.org/2021/acceptedpapers.php, https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/540). The Suterusu Protocol has been deployed on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Heco, SmartBCH (BCH sidechain), Theta, etc. We plan to deploy Suterusu protocol on the following smart contract platforms including Near, Solana, Avalanche, Moonbeam, Plasma, Matic, etc. It is also the first privacy project funded by the official Cypherpunk Guild Fund of Near. We are also applying for the Solana and Polkadot ecosystem grant. The Suterusu Protocol intends to build a private payment infrastructure for any cryptocurrency. The Suterusu project has received investment from well-known institutions such as Dialectic (a fund founded by the former Polychain partner Ryan Zurr), Fundamental Labs, FBG, Continue Capital, DeFi Alliance, and other well-known institutions.

CyberVein's big-data solution is based on the PISR (private, interlink, secure, robust) distributed database, database operations are stored on CyberVein blockchain network which runs on a Proof-of-Contribution (PoC) consensus mechanism. The solution is focusing on enterprise-level "blockchain + big-data" customized services.

CVT is the native utility token that is used for:

Storage payment: The data owner pays the corresponding storage fee based on the file size and bandwidth consumed in such a process.

Computing power payment: Payments from user to owner for usage, and remuneration for software developers is going to be exclusively conducted in CVT.

Data exchange: On CyberVein's federated learning platform, the data acquirer trades the data at a price contracted between the two parties for distributed modeling applications.

CROSS NFT issuance payment: Dapp businesses are obligated to pay for Storage and Data Exchange in light of network resources occupied, and may set up CyberVein token as a means of payment to issue NFT or conduct business in accordance to their desired business model.

CyberVein tools include:

PISR Consortium database, creates better data management: through safe and reliable virtual machine operation and maintenance of user data, data is efficiently aggregated for upstream data, and data traceability and tracking are realized to ensure the reliability of data sources and outputs, and achieve cross-level, cross-departmental data sharing to improve the timeliness, diversity, stock and density of data to realize the commercial value of data, and truly solve the problems in data flow.

DAG storage chain, creates safer data storage, with better efficiency, no block confirmation, low transaction fees, and also eliminates miner, supports asynchronous verification and parallel processing of each node, the more nodes, the faster the speed, the stronger the scalability, which leads to better scalability. The database backup on DAG storage chain provides an extra layer of security for businesses.

Cytrix, allows GPU to be shared. Nodes can contribute part of their GPU to the network, in return for compensation through the Proof of Contribution mechanism. The contributed GPU can aid enterprises or individuals in data modeling with federated learning.

Federated Learning Platform, enables data to be monetized. Federated Learning is a distributed machine learning workflow. The datasets are first trained locally, and the data of all parties is kept locally, without revealing privacy or violating regulations.  Individual terminals return trained models to the server to create a shared model. Effectively protect data privacy and security, solve the problem of information silo, and thus realize the value of data. The platform will also provide algorithms to support data modeling operations by enterprises and individuals.
