Deep Dive
1. Builder Program Expansion (Q3 2025)
Overview
The Builder Program, launched in Q2 2025, allows external teams to build on SynFutures’ infrastructure (e.g., RWA perpetual markets, tokenized equities DEX). A portion of builder revenue funds $F token buybacks. Monday Trade, the first project under this program, is already live on Monad Testnet.
What this means
Bullish for $F: Increased utility and buy pressure from revenue-sharing. Risks include slower-than-expected adoption of third-party platforms.
2. Synthia AI Agent Upgrades (Q4 2025)
Overview
Synthia, an AI trading assistant, currently enables natural-language trades via X (Twitter). Planned upgrades include predictive analytics and multi-chain trade routing (Q2 2025 report).
What this means
Bullish for adoption: Lowers entry barriers for retail traders. Bearish if AI execution lags behind centralized competitors.
3. Cross-Margin Launch (2026)
Overview
V3 of the protocol will introduce cross-margin functionality, allowing traders to offset risks across positions (e.g., hedging BTC perpetuals with ETH futures). This follows V2’s shared margin system (v2 whitepaper).
What this means
Neutral-to-bullish: Improves capital efficiency but requires robust risk controls to prevent cascading liquidations.
4. Multichain Liquidity Integration (2026)
Overview
SynFutures plans to enable native cross-chain margining and liquidity aggregation, starting with EVM-compatible chains like Base and Monad. Partnerships with cross-chain messaging protocols are underway (v3 roadmap).
What this means
Bullish: Expands addressable market but depends on seamless interoperability solutions.
Conclusion
SynFutures is prioritizing ecosystem growth (Builder Program), UX (Synthia AI), and advanced trading infrastructure (cross-margin/multichain). The $F token’s utility is set to deepen through revenue-sharing and buybacks. Watch for progress in RWA adoption (gold/oil markets) and whether liquidity follows multichain expansion. How will SynFutures balance decentralization with the technical demands of cross-chain derivatives?
