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.

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.
