Values & How we work?

The entire crypto space doesn't just move fast but is constantly accelerating. It’s hard building a DeFi product — it’s 24/7, 365 days a year, markets do not close, the ground beneath you can shift, assumptions can and do fail & risk of burning out is real.

  • We take our product + brand very seriously.

    • If we see even a small flaw in our product, we always ask ourselves - Why isn't this perfect?

    • All members have perpetual autonomy to fix anything broken that we notice, and we do not wait for someone else to tell us what to do.

  • We take extreme ownership of everything you do

    • If the team fails, everyone fails, so prioritize and execute.

    • We think long-term, set big goals, and communicate with clear directions and goals to achieve them. Everyone must understand not just what they're doing but also why they are doing it.

    • No Egos, lead by example, and mutual accountability.

  • Strive for clear and simple communication - this is easier said than done but communicating the "why" of an issue is equally important as the "what.”

  • All meetings have an agenda, with outcomes clearly defined as tasks and call-to-actions.

  • Prioritize all tasks by - what is more important for our users without compromising on any of the above goals.

View company profile

Syndr is an institutional-grade decentralized exchange (DEX) engineered for derivatives trading, providing a comprehensive platform for users to trade crypto options, perpetuals, and futures. Established in 2021, the company's mission is to onboard the next 100 million traders into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem by offering a high-performance, capital-efficient, and user-centric trading environment. The platform is built as a custom Layer 3 rollup on Arbitrum, a design choice that enables significant scalability, low latency, and eliminates gas fees for trading activities, creating a seamless experience comparable to centralized exchanges while retaining the non-custodial nature of DeFi.

The architecture of Syndr is designed to address common challenges in the DeFi space, such as lagging infrastructure and capital inefficiency. It features a high-performance order book for extremely low-latency trades and employs cross-margining and portfolio margining across all products to enhance capital efficiency. All trades on the platform are USD-margined, simplifying the trading process for users. Syndr also provides native support for block trading, allowing two counterparties to negotiate and execute large trades privately off the main order book, which minimizes market impact and slippage. The platform is built to be easily integrated with institutional liquidity networks and various trading tools, including automated Request for Quotes (RFQs), analytics platforms, and compliance providers, positioning itself as a key infrastructure piece for both retail and institutional participants in the evolving digital asset market. Users on Syndr always maintain full control over their funds, as the platform never takes custody of user assets.
