About Synapse Labs

Synapse Protocol is a decentralised interchain network, allowing developers and users to read and write data between different blockchains. To date, it has settled $50B, been used by more then 2M users and generated $30M+ in fees. Synapse’s vision is to be the HTTPS for crypto, allowing developers to build apps without the constraints of individual blockchains.
